With respect to my Fe loving colleagues, I started my soil chem class with this yesterday, ‘today is a great day because we get to discuss soil, but, unfortunately some great days are less great than others, and today is one of those days, we’re discussing metal oxides’.

Supercharge it’s metabolic potential! Must read to find out what this means!
🚀 Using data from a 40-year field trial, we show that organic cropping systems not only transform soil biodiversity but also supercharge its metabolic potential for nutrient cycling with lasting consequences for soil C, N, and P stocks. 🌾 #SustainableAgriculture #SoilHealth

Published! Our framework organizes N cycle research through a microbial lens. Rather than focus exclusively on inputs, we emphasize internal recycling and plant-soil microbe uptake processes. We hope this helps frame research and communicate options to growers.

With all the attention for soil C sequestration as a C removal strategy the role of N, which is closely linked as a key component of soil organic matter, is mostly overlooked. Great paper and very nice visuals!
Recent advances in #soilscience all point toward potential for internal soil nitrogen cycling to meet a much greater proportion of crop N needs than currently thought! 🌾🦠🤎 🧑🌾🧪
