It's voting day in the UK 🗳️ Let's make sure nature is on the agenda and vote to make tangible progress to solving the dual biodiversity and climate crises. Our future depends on it! 🐜 🦔 🌱

It was a real pleasure to show @MerlinSheldrake our work to uncover the key ecological actors that drive carbon dynamics in the regen farming system - including how we plan to specifically measure the energy mediated through mycorrhizae! Hopefully more to come soon!
Real pleasure to host @MerlinSheldrake yesterday, both in Oxford marvelling all things fungi & also to show our research at @RealFarmED on impacts of regenerative farming on soil ecological energetics and health with @oxfordgeography @NatureRecovery DPhil student @RewildingJed

East Anglia, and especially Lincolnshire, is where much of our food is produced. Like the rest of Britain, the landscape is becoming overwhelmed by deer which are wrecking crops. The return of native lynx and wolves would be the ideal solution. Seriously, why not?
#A15 #Lincolnshire this morning. My friend who filmed it said he estimated two thirds had already crossed before he started recording. #deer @looknorthBBC @ChrisGPackham @_JoelAshton @LincsWildlife
This was a captivating talk that I had the pleasure of hosting on @EdithCHammer work recording and visualising the behaviour and decision making of soil biodiversity - not one to miss, watch below!

Our work on #ashdieback 🌿 in @WythamWoods was covered by @BBCSouthNews. The frequency and severity of tree diseases is on the rise. It is therefore increasingly important to understand how they impact on ecosystems and how they function. @ecioxford @BiodivOxford @yadv

Join us at @oxfordgeography or online (below) for what will be a fascinating talk - Edith and her lab have developed 'Soil Chips' that allow for real time video capture of microbial behaviour and decision making - absolutely not one to miss!!

Check out our latest BNG pre-print! 🌱 🏡
In this paper, we detail some of the ways in which #BiodiversityNetGain as it is currently implemented may not have positive outcomes for invertebrates and how this can be addressed 🦋 🐛 🐝 🕷

Highly confusing move by @UKLabour on dropping a highly popular investment policy that is URGENTLY needed to respond to the biodiversity and climate crises - not like we've just had the first full 12 months >1.5C above average temps...oh wait bbc.com/news/science-environ…

You can sequence your archived soils! New paper from a great group of collaborators where we found minimal differences in microbiome composition between air-dried and frozen samples after 8 years (!!) of storage

To produce 1.5 million tonnes of salmon the Norwegian salmon farming industry needs 2 million tonnes of wild fish, nearly all caught off west Africa. That’s enough to feed 33 million people. The immorality of it is just breathtaking. feedbackglobal.org/blue-empi…

Our new research finds that spot-on flea treatments on pets are a major source of river contamination with potent insecticides. Also, owners hands are continually contaminated by contact with treated pets. Pls RT (1/2)
