Our manuscript on interactions btw. enhanced weathering and soil C is out in @JBiogeochem: 'Reduced accrual of mineral-associated organic matter after two years of enhanced rock weathering in cropland soils, though no net losses of soil organic carbon.' link.springer.com/article/10…

While grain exports from Ukraine are in the news a lot, I felt that the importance of #soil itself is a pretty neglected part with potential wide reaching consequences of the #UkraineRussiaWar for Europe and the world and tried to express my views on that here.
The war in #Ukraine is also a war for #Soil. Sebastian Dötterl, Professor for Soil Resources at ETH Zurich explains what makes Ukrainian soil so valuable and why it will become even more geopolitically significant. 🇺🇦 brnw.ch/21wLd9p @SebDoetterl @usys_ethzh

Interested in how the relationship and controls of #soilorganiccarbon abundance and persistence vary across the globe and its pedoclimatic zones? Then check out our new paper in @GlobalChangeBio by @vonfromm_sophie et al. who compiled this amazing dataset: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

New paper out by us from the @ETH_SAE_group and @ETH_SoilRes led by @Johansix6 on questions of soil C saturation and the ongoing debate of how to apply concepts to measure and interpret data in this regard from different soil systems!
After 10 years, again once a first author paper instigated by papers out there. It was great to work with the co-authors to elucidate again Soil Carbon Saturation. I hope you all enjoy reading the paper and find it insightful. @ETH_SAE_group @ethzWFSC
