Happy World Soil Day 2024 🪱

with some news from our earthworm mesocosm experiment at @wslresearch.bsky.social 🧪
World Soil Day: How earthworms “dispose” of CO2 in the soil
The Swiss soil of the year 2025 is characterized by earthworms. WSL researchers are investigating how their activity affects forest soils.

🎁Christmas came early at WSL: Our researchers unwrapped the wrapped tree on the WSL premises and collected its isotope-marked leaves for their research projects.🍁 More info in the how and why in our Instagram post: www.instagram.com/p/DC6fuQFoVb... @pdejong.bsky.social

Hi! I’m a Phd student in soil science and biogeochemistry studying organic matter cycling in forest soils. Also interested in all things isotopes. And I have a fable for earthworms 🪱!

Though crabs have evolved about 10 times, vertebrates have tried to become worms about 70 times. 🧪
