On Monday I swapped my usual desk for a day out in the field with one of our field research scientists Helen 😄 We took vegetation samples at 2 grassland sites in Norfolk which are part of the #LowlandPeat3 project and were joined by some friendly visitors 🐄

Open Farm Sunday is always a fantastic day🧑‍🌾 We really enjoyed chatting to members of the public about the importance of looking after our soils and how full of life #soil is! I was also really encouraged to hear lots of children saying how they are learning about soils in school 🤩 🪴

Do you want to be part of our team this season, maintaining and sampling field experiments in which we test the effect of extreme weather on grassland C storage?

We have a 6-month technician position available - apply here before May 23rd!

Please RT or forward!

A fantastic day in the field on Wednesday with the @adasgroup.bsky.social Boxworth field team. Spring slurry applications, measuring NH3 emissions and sampling N2O fluxes. An action packed and exciting day! #soil #adas

Are you a farmer or agronomist who grows or provides advice on cover/catch crops? @adasgroup.bsky.social is conducting a survey to understand how/if farmers and agronomists currently account for #nutrient availability from #cover crops.

📢 The Yield Enhancement Network (YEN) is open to cereal, #oilseeds, and #pulse growers for 2025! 🌾🫛
✔️Compare your crop with others on +60 factors incl. seed rate, #fertiliser timings.
✔️Identify growth limitations.
✔️Share ideas & experiences with others on what works

New paper in Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems! 🌟 On a global scale, #croplands are losing significantly more #carbon than #grasslands, and that a shift towards systems with higher carbon inputs is required if we are to begin to reverse this loss. 🪴 🐄 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

We're recruiting a 10 month PDRA in spatial (GIS) modelling of soil carbon and water quality at the UK scale: jobs.reading.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai...
