#Soil gives us many gifts - called “ecosystem services.” Soil helps clean water, provides a home for organisms, and supports forest and food growth. Learn more here: https://t.co/jI3QcHC2AD

Soil is a natural substance and a living medium found at the uppermost surface of planet Earth. It may contain both mineral and organic materials. Learn more about this precious natural resource in our #GroundedInSoils blog: https://t.co/zNKjGCoP3y

The exchange of energy in the soil can create heat as seen in this #compost pile. This is part of the soil food web. Here, exterior temp was -25°C - with decomposers doing their work on plant litter, the internal temperature was 44°C. https://t.co/y2pj5QcBql

How do you make soil where there isn’t any? Soil scientists are key to rebuilding stable and safe conditions for humans & wildlife. Land reclamation is essential to a thriving future. Learn more about anthroposols in this blog post: https://t.co/fCLCeVWonf

A major impact on developing #soils was the emergence of terrestrial invertebrates about 420 to 400 million years ago. Read more in part two of “How did the first soils evolve?” In this #GroundedInSoils blog post: https://t.co/i14AcO3i4l

One thing you don’t see when looking at soil is all the energy exchanges happening in the #soil! This is called the “soil food web.” Shown: fungi that live in the soil. Read our new #GroundedInSoils blog to learn more! https://t.co/y2pj5QcBql

Modern soils developed over billions of years. While life on earth today relies on #soil, the development of the first soils relied on interactions with evolving life forms and a changing environment. Read this #GroundedInSoils blog post to learn more: https://t.co/nZ9VFXOaxC

Hiking, mountain biking and tenting can all have significant impacts on the soil. Just by walking, our body weight compresses the soil. Soil compaction reduces the soil porosity and increases soil bulk density. Learn what you can do here: https://t.co/rh1Gq3PDOP

Soil structure is a very important property for #water flow and proper aeration in #soils. Yet, it is easily subject to deterioration when stresses are applied to the soil. Read our blog post to learn more: https://t.co/G1kJcceB6t
