A month ago I went to an altiplano wetland called Salar del Huasco. What a beautiful place! We measured field saturated hydraulic conductivity (SATURO) and WC (TEROS12).

In #soil #science, ternary plots for soil texture classification are essential… but creating them consistently and reproducibly can be challenging. That’s why we developed ggsoiltexture, an R package built on ggplot2.

Wildfires threaten water quality for up to eight years after they burn, study shows
Years after wildfires burn forests and watersheds, the contaminants left behind continue to poison rivers and streams across the Western U.S.—much longer than scientists estimated.

🔥 How does heat affect soil aggregate stability? #soil #aggregates #soilscience
We developed pedotransfer functions to estimate the impact of heating on water-stable aggregates (WSA) using basic soil data.

@teamrat.bsky.social & I argue, soil science, though crucial for solving environmental challanges, should not be defined solely by its applications

Some of these federal cuts are making America more vulnerable to wildfire. This work is essential and will not be picked up by the private sector or states. It’s already completely underfunded even before these current actions targeting federal workers.

The uncertainty caused by Trump’s funding and hiring freezes has limited training, postponed work to reduce flammable vegetation in areas vulnerable to wildfire and left some firefighters with little choice but to leave the force.
How Trump’s Federal Funding and Hiring Freezes Are Leaving America Vulnerable to Catastrophic Wildfire
Uncertainty over funding and hiring stemming from the president’s executive orders has limited wildfire training and postponed work to reduce flammable vegetation. It has also led some firefighters…

As wildfires rage through the LA area, air pollution is a major concern. It is important to recognize that such disasters also severely impact river water quality through land-river connectivity, particularly following post-fire rainfall.
