Attending #EGU25? Working on #CriticalZone science, #hydrology, #soils, #geoecology, #Environmentalscience or related topics? Please considering participating in this splinter meeting to discuss ways to better integrate Critical Zone science at the international level!

Carbon #sequestration in #agroforestry is a hot topic.

Here we provide #openaccess guidelines to improve the quantification & reporting of carbon stocks in #soils & #biomass & additional #carbon storage in agroforestry systems, and to maximize manuscript acceptance.

We also provide a checklist, for both authors & reviewers, of compulsory and recommended variables before submission of an original study related to this topic.

In these times of processed #food proliferation we might forget that all land derived #food depends on #seeds, #spores and #soils. Farming (both urban and rural) will remain key to our ongoing survival.

Those of us who live with #seeds #soils and #food know this. "We’ve largely ignored soil biology, except when it comes to pathogens. The reality is that 98% of fungi are beneficial or neutral, but we spend all our effort non-selectively killing them. That’s a huge problem.”

#SeedMineralNutrition is essential for early seedling establishment, and varies under different environmental conditions. Hao Wu et al. explored #IntraspecificVariation of #Multi-elements in seeds of #EupteleaPleiospermum and its association with #Soils, #Climate, and #LeafElements. Results showed that seed elements were highly variable across different populations, with macroelements exhibiting lower variability than most of the microelements.

#PFAS have been used for decades and are still being emitted into the environment. These so-called ‘forever chemicals’ are found ubiquitously– with #soils being a major sink and source.
Register for “PFAS in soil – forever pollution, forever concern?” on 25-26 March 2025 in Berlin or online.

#TriadicaSebifera is widely distributed across China from tropical to temperate regions where soils and herbivore communities vary significantly, Li Xiao et al. explored #InteractiveEffects of #Soils, #LocalEnvironmentalConditions and #Herbivores on #SecondaryChemicals in it.

Being located deep within the heart of destructive, clear-cut logging, here in Oregon USA. This article is so obvious to me, we need more plants in #soils and #trees are plants. Also, if we must get profits from forests, let's encourage #mushroom growing there as a #food resource.

#Germany: Forests don't provide net carbon #sequestration & drained #peatlands continue to emit #CO2 heavily. In dry years, the water levels of these #soils are lower, i.e. more #peat is decomposed by microorganisms = higher CO2 #emissions...

#EIT #ClimateKIC /1

A year of challenges and reasons for hope

https://mailchi.mp/climate-kic/december2024?e=893c005935

Overview of Topics within:
-Caring for #soils: #measure, #monitor, #manage
- #Coal Roots, #GreenShoots: How Velenje is balancing an industrial past with a #clean #future

Join us at #EGU25: https://bit.ly/EGU25_HS132

This session will highlight #CriticalZone #science, CZ methodologies, and the collaborative efforts of CZ networks from around the world. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Innovative techniques in CZ #research and monitoring, including contributions involving observations, modeling, or integration of the two; Advances in understanding #soils, #hydrology, and biogeochemical cycling within the CZ.

When Reality Is Being Depleted: Metaverses as Salvation?
Imagine an area larger than Antarctica. No, it’s not a new country or a giant city. It’s 15 million square kilometers of depleted soils spread across the entire Earth. These vital resources are degrading at a rate of about 1 million square kilometers per year — that is, we are literally losing the fertility of the planet at an alarming rate.
