Great presentation @IainDummett at @IAgrE#IAgrEconference. His thoughts on the approach & support needed for research students and the need for collaboration & roll-out will be helpful in future. Our co-sponsorship+ @FrontierAg of his @CranfieldUni PhD was def money well spent!
Field trials are a resource for the research community but are high risk for anyone relying solely upon them. How efficient is setting up a field trial and using it to support a single project? My reflections on a field-based PhD https://t.co/46H9F3fCPk
Field trials aren't just a way of improving the generation of public goods and services (cleaner water, reduced greenhouse gas emission); they can be public goods in themselves, a resource for the research community. My reflections on a field-based PhD https://t.co/46H9F3fCPk
Our new paper in PNAS! Using high-throughput experiments with natural microbial communities we demonstrate that biodiversity will be increasingly important for maintaining ecosystem functioning under environmental warming. https://t.co/pYlsfslQF3
This group will work in affiliation withDr. Thomas Crowther collaborating on all the great ecosystem research taking place at @CrowtherLab. I will soon be searching for a postdoc to lead a global sampling of soil fungi, please distribute! 2/2
CALLING ALL #FARMERS! Influence the future research focus of @Rothamsted with a short survey. We will use responses in policy discussions which start back up after the summer recess. Thank you to everyone who has already responded. https://t.co/a3g8M9mQe8 Please RT
Proud to have collected the Alvaro Barcellos Fagundes medal on behalf of @Soil_Science at the WCSS in Rio. Congratulations to the British Society of Soil Science and in particular to our staff in the office #wcss2018
Today, we publish a new analysis quantifying the global shift to more #sustainable#agriculture systems. Farmers are implementing new systems on 29% of all farms (163 million farms), 9% of farmed area worldwide. https://t.co/OLWjrVhYrP @UEAResearch@ueaceec 1/5
Our fog biology paper is out! There are microbes in fog. And they link marine and terrestrial systems. https://t.co/PePINpS5UZ. @Foggykak@robertlogan504
