Thanks for this great review! I was happy to see the application of G+/G- data to improve amino sugar necromass estimates get some attention. We also called for this in the 2020 paper led by @jaimiewest and applied it ourselves. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Very fun to use high-tech FTICR-MS capacity to investigate what the recipe for a soil aggregate is under different conditions. Thanks @AndreaJilling and @JacksonRD and Malak Tfaily as well as @EMSLscience and truly helpful reviewers.

Grateful UMN gave everyone the afternoon off to watch this memorial. Thanks to the family for inviting us to share the grieving process collectively.

Interesting read.
Bypass: "soil “aggregates”, soil quality/health, soil “contributions to ecosystem services”, and whole‐soil metagenomics"
Hyperbole: "biochar, the “4 per 1000” initiative, and the role of soils in achieving Sustainable Development Goals"

I love this paper- nice proof of how grasses + microbes work together when they need to.

The project that first sparked my interest in soil organic matter, esp. the kind near/stuck to clay minerals.
Particulate & mineral-associated N respond rapidly (w/i 3 yrs) to cover crops & tillage. First paper as a #newPI, out now in @Geoderma_Jrnl:

Prepping to give my first ever intro to #soils lecture next week. Excited to give the basics on my favorite subject!

Nifty incubation w/ 3 pulses labeled C. PLFAs showed new C, but overall MBC didn't increase. Relatively more litter C found in fungal PLFA, but no higher F:B ratio. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Been using this code to compare effect sizes for different variables and treatments in a soil health data set: stackoverflow.com/questions/…
I'm thinking of re-writing the function to do log response ratio instead of Cohen's d. Anyone have a better way?
Pleased to see this work out- litterbags showed no change in corn decomposition with or without cover crops. Fun to work with @JacksonRD @sgrandysoil @RuarkLab too, 3 of my favorites!

Just published today in @GlobalChangeBio - we've got a new study out that shows how irrigation in the Wisconsin Central Sands is cooling daytime high temperatures and increasing nighttime lows. Led by @mallika_nocco & @brooktroutbob

Really cool evidence in this paper that AM fungi are part of their community- i.e. they take up more N with other microbes around than on their own.
