It was an honour to launch @FAO Status of the World's Soil Resources 2026 report today at @UNCCD COP 17 meeting in Mongolia, as the chair of the UN- Intergovernmental Panel on Soils.
The report calls for coordinated action, guided by five priorities. Details below
The Status of the World’s Soil Resources 2026 is out‼️
It brings together the work of the #ITPS and +300 experts from 75 countries. #SoilHealth #GlobalSoilPartnership

Check my keynote talk: “Using Complexity Science and philosophy to assess mycorrhizal cooperation” given at the 4th Global Soil Biodiversity Conference @gsbc2026 in Victoria, Canada.
Deeply honored by this @theGSBI invitation.

Happy Earth Day!
Our lab works to find out how human-made threats affect our soils and what we can do about it.

🌍 This #EarthDay, we're celebrating the billions of organisms beneath our feet that recycle nutrients, store carbon, and promote ecosystem resilience! 🪱
No soil biodiversity = No life aboveground 🍄
From springtails to fungi to enchytraeids, we rely on them all!
Check out the Global Soil Biodiversity Atlas for a refresher on the immense diversity underground!

That’s a wrap on #GSB2026!🎉
We cannot thank you all enough for coming out, providing fantastic presentations, making connections, and keeping soil biodiversity at the forefront of ecological research (in our completely unbiased opinion) 🪱
Safe travels home & see you all soon!
📣 A huge thank you to our first two keynote speakers, Dr. Marín (@cesarmarin203) and Dr. Jansson, for kicking off #GSB2026!
Topics ranged from soil microbes as climate solutions to complexity science as a foundation for mycorrhizal research. 🍄
