I research soil ecology and the role of soil fauna in SOM dynamics in agricultural systems

[Aaron Prairie, PhD @AaronPrairie]

Excited to share our new Policy Analysis in the @SciPolJournal Winter Issue! With Helen Silver, @MeganMachmuller & Dr. Jane Zelikova, we explore how diversified ag systems impact soil carbon, soil health & yields.

So glad #MFCotrufoNeedsTwitter is an #AGU2024 fellow this year! She is an outstanding scientist and truly caring mentor. She is so deserving and I am so grateful to have been trained by her 👩🏻‍🔬

New paper alert. A consensus view (amongst a bunch of researchers in this space) on what we know and need to know to effectively manage croplands for climate benefits led by @eeoldfield & @JM_Lavallee

Hey Twitter- I'm getting close to wrapping things up! I'll be defending my PhD work on June 20th, at 9 AM MT. I'll talk about SOM fractionation methods, MAOM nitrogen, yield stability, PyOM persistence, and everything in between.

Hope y'all can tune in-- DM me for a Teams link!

I'll be defending my PhD this Friday at 9a MT! Scan the QR for a Teams link.

I'll be talking all about Regen Ag, SOM, and soil critters. Would love for you to tune in!

[Katie Rocci, PhD @ecology_katie]

Psyched this paper is now out in the world!

Got together with an amazing expert group to review SOM conceptual frameworks. The inspiration for this work was to help PhD student Katie that had little background in SOM prep for prelims. Hope its helpful!

We (me,@JM_Lavallee, Francesca Cotrufo, @brunobasso1 , and Will Brinton) have a new paper out today in @EGU_SOILjournal. We looked how SOM fractions might influence crop yield stability. The results were surprising (little 🧵).

[Paige Stanley, PhD @grazing_paige]

How should we *really* be fractionating soils to get truly distinct pools which inform + reflect our mechanistic understanding?

Read @samleuthold's awesome new paper, combining chemical, spectral, and isotopic evidence to answer this question!

FWIW - density is necessary 🫢

@chantelchizen @FrontEnvSci Great work Chantel!

[Paige Stanley, PhD @grazing_paige]

🚨 Our new paper is out!! 🚨

We developed a conceptual framework to align understanding on the impact of #grazing on soil organic #carbon using a combined lens of plant ecophysiology + soil biogeochemistry & a REAL description of grazing management 🐂

@SiwookHwang Just fancy pointing

[Aaron Prairie, PhD @AaronPrairie]

Cool.

[Anton Potapov @AntonCollembola]

I'm very happy to share new article from @efforts_crc990 published in @Nature! We show that rainforest transformation leads to vast energetic and functional changes in food webs, from soils to canopies. Fantastic teamwork of our international team!

@SiwookHwang just grim

[Dr. Alison King @alison_elinor]

What’s holding back soil carbon increases under regenerative management? Does MAOC not respond b/c soils are saturated? Does POC response take off with C inputs? In short, no! Happy to share this paper from my postdoc w great group of co-authors:
