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…

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" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

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: bit.ly/2qWnxsL

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 news.wisc.edu/irrigated-farm…

Irrigated farming in Wisconsin’s Central Sands cools the region’s climate

Irrigation dropped maximum temperatures by one to three degrees Fahrenheit on average while increasing minimum temperatures up to four degrees compared to unirrigated farms or forests, research shows.
