Earth's natural carbon sinks are critical for slowing down #ClimateChange.🌿🌳🌏
In fact, soil contains more carbon than you might have imagined! 🪱
A @visualcap infographic shows how much carbon is stored in different ecosystems.

#Soils provide multiple services to society: supporting food production, regulating global water and nutrient cycles, & sequestering CO2.
Find out more at @Shui_eu's hybrid event feat. @John_Quinton, Ryan Edge, @Bill_Giannak, @Huntenburg_Kat with @MyerscoughColl & @DeltaTDevices
Upcoming workshop "Quantifying the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum"
Six amazing speakers will present a range of measurement techniques that offer new opportunities to better manage soil and water.
📆 When? 15 December 2021

I made a little web page today: everything you wanted to know about our carbon, nitrogen & phosphorus plant-soil model but were too afraid to ask! wp.lancs.ac.uk/sustainable-s…
We will be improving it, but nice to capture the basics on a page

Our paper is out in
@EGU_SOILjournal! We looked at what happens to #soil #carbon & nitrogen when soils are sealed by roads and pavements #UrbanSoil #cities

Fantastic summary of some of @torijanes soil research discoveries through her time with us at @SoilInf and @EnsembleLancs projects - long may the thread of discovery and entanglement of disciplines continue! #EntangledFestival
Ahead of the #EntangledFestival podcast 'Inspiring soil care and disentangling complexity' tomorrow, here's a sneak peak of some of the #soils research we've been doing as part of the @EPSRC @lwec_uk projects @EnsembleLancs and @SoilInf

Fun to think about the future of our urban soils and spaces and how we could use them to tackle climate change. Thanks to @UKRI_News #NetZero
What will a #NetZero garden look like? In the Rurban Revolution project we'd say, 'Think about the value of veg!'

Join fab @SoilInf @EnsembleLancs researcher Tori Janes Bassett to hear about #Soils & #DataScience (& chocolate!) today 🍫
@torijanes @ProfJessDavies @dsilancaster @LancsUniLEC
How is #DataScience like a box of chocolates? Join us tomorrow at the @dsilancaster seminar to find out.
