I... I think I just finished the core writing of my thesis...?

We highlight the importance of understanding the relationship between soil properties and complex biogeochemical interactions before applying new agricultural practices.

However, paddies that lack these characteristics (because of short-term of use, or disturbances to soil development), showed sharp increases on the formation of methylated arsenic species, especially the highly mobile, phyto-, and cytotoxic #thioarsenates.

five years ago, i looked at myself and said, "the worst dissertation is the one i don't write" before proceeding to write the second worst dissertation

For those worried about onshore wind turbines killing birds, fear not, the death toll is truly tiny compared to other threats.

Where wind turbines are truly impacting animals, effective and often cheap mitigation measures are available

More disinformation from Net Zero Watch

Funny how they don't link to the article, perhaps cos it says: 'Keeping temperature rises to 1.5C…could save EU €2.4tn in economic losses 2031-2050 & cut net costs of fossil imports by €2.8tn over same period"

🌾 Increased temperature increased the formation of methylated arsenic species, which are considered to be toxic to plants. This could mean that rice plant yield could decrease in the future (depending on soil arsenic content), risking food security for future populations.

I forgot to share the news here, but the second publication from my PhD is out!

"Long-term paddy use influences response of methane production, arsenic mobility and speciation to future higher temperatures"

🍚 Long-term paddy use also decreases arsenic mobility in soils, even at higher temperatures. If arsenic is not mobile, it cannot be taken up by rice plants and accumulated in the grains, decreasing the risk of dietary arsenic exposure.
