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.

Congratulations to @Roisin_OR on passing her viva! 🎉🎉🎉
It's been fantastic learning about urban soil ecosystem services & the world beneath the pavements with you as part of @EPSRC @SoilInf project #NewDrOfUrbanSealedSoilsOnTheBlock

#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

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!'

Soil made up an incredible 55% of material sent to landfill in the UK in 2016!
Great news piece on why we need to stop treating urban soil like dirt from @Roisin_OR on her @soilinf research with @John_Quinton @cbimagination @ProfJessDavies @LancsUniLEC
