🧪📢 New research! “Site-Specific Drivers of Land-Use Change Effects on Organic Carbon in German Agriculture and Forest Soils”.

doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

We reveal that ~30 % of land-use change induced SOC change occurs in the subsoil, with soil type driving most change.

Site‐Specific Drivers of Land‐Use Change Effects on Organic Carbon in German Agriculture and Forest Soils
Land-use change—for example, turning cropland into forest—alters soil organic carbon (SOC) storage to different degrees depending on soil type. Data from the German national agricultural and forest s...

Lots of new people joining Bluesky, and lots of great starter packs floating around, so here’s another idea: if you work at the intersection of food/agriculture, nature, and climate, introduce yourself and what you do below so folks can keep connecting. Who’s here now?

This sounds like a great series for the What's Science folks! 🧪
A couple of years ago, I started an intermittent #figaday series in which I posted a science figure from our team's work every day. The exercise motivates me to stay in tune with our group's work and keep close to my motivation for having this #unicornjob at all. So here goes on another platform!

Hi bluesky! My name's Dave, I study soil carbon in agricultural systems. I'm currently looking at the historical effects of land use on soil organic carbon. But also, I love reading and geeking out to anything tech.
