@BugEric Thanks Eric! The artist Elsa Cousins did a fantastic job on this.

No, not yard futures, but those papers are coming down the pipeline too! This is a review/perspectives piece about conservation opportunities in yards

Hello! I have a high school student who wants to quantify #soil services.
She wanted to do a loss of ignition test for organic matter but I don’t have the necessary equipment that can get to such high temps. Any other tests that are comparable but more student-friendly?

[Desiree L. Narango, PhD @DLNarango]

who can send me a bluesky invite? I'm ready to head out

If the bird is gone, I'm gone.
