Sharing soil ❤️ presenting @ #TNRM2022 conference Darwin. Favourite quotes; connect with country, life brings life, sponsor diversity, livestock as macrobes, just get out of the way! Soil Will Save Us. Oh and how cute is NT soil baby!?!

This International Day of #ruralwomen I am fortunate to be in Vietnam collaborating with inspirational young women to identify new crops & markets to help farmers adapt to saline conditions and climate change in the Mekong Delta. Cảm ơn @ACIARAustralia

@GusWhyte It’s happening! Wonderful to see the MLA funded Rangelands Living Skin Project pulling cores to 1m to baseline soil carbon & better understand practices that regenerate the rangelands. @GusWhyte can’t wait to see more results of the #rehydration work too. Love this project!

[OK Soil @CottonHubUNE]

Sitting in #Sydney with only 20 h until next flight home, reminiscing on last week. Thanks @TerritoryNRM, @SoilScienceAust, @EAL and @Orgill_Soil for letting me get #regenerativeagriculture, a sermon and a mass pledge out of my system. All #soil and #soilhealth, no bull.

Soil carbon underpins landscape productivity across our diverse country. Sharing evidence and strategies to build and protect soil carbon in all landscapes, including stunning Alice Springs, with farmers and @TerritoryNRM. @Soil_sister

A great day in the NT spent near Katherine with @territorynrm and @Orgill_Soil looking at innovative ways to love territory soils by maintaining diverse groundcover. Check out those nodules! @SoilScienceAust

[Angus Whyte @GusWhyte]

This is the start of a new beginning for these claypans that have had banks put up and water ponded on them. See the sodic layer has dissolved and the clay is starting to crack as a normal clay would.

[Dr Susan Orgill @Orgill_Soil]

More multi-species examples to boost soil health - this time in Katherine (NT)! Very fortunate to be on the road for the @TerritoryNRM Soil Symposium talking with farmers about strategies to build soil carbon.Keep up with the farmer innovation! @Soil_sister

[Dr Susan Orgill @Orgill_Soil]

Talking #soilcarbon and #legumes at Tooraweenah. Nothing beats being in the paddock where you can see the carbon growing in front of your eyes! Plenty of hard seeded legumes on show to drive N-Fix and C-seq, and check out the #soilbuilding potential of this multi-species crop!

Achieving landscape scale change by rehydrating rangeland soils- Susan @Orgill_Soil collecting evidence on the benefits of on ground works done by Rangelands Rehydration Alliance, @LLSWestern LLS and EMU™ #phenomenal

[The Crawford Fund @CrawfordFund]

Congrats to 140+ participants frm 4 #Vietnam provinces at this month’s #soil salinity measurement/monitoring workshops run by @CharlesSturtUni @Grahamcentre - included how to use a phone app to georeference their measurements @ACIARAustralia @MurdochUni @NSWDPI_Soils @AusAmbVN

[NSW Soils Unit @NSW_Soils_Unit]

Celebrating #WorldSoilDay with soil carbon collaboration! DPI Soils, South East LLS, Uni Sydney, CSU and ANU sample sites on the Monaro to continue monitoring the impacts of management and climate on soil carbon. @SiaSydney @ANUFennerSchool @llsnsw @GrahamCentre

GR8 to see some award winning soil science at the ACT Science Fair. Congratulations to Rupert for his 2nd prize in the earth and space category about soil texture

Revegetation improved soil stability and increased SOC on a saline area near Camden, says Soilguru Roy Lawrie on #SKNroadtrip with Soils Unit

[NSW Soils Unit @NSW_Soils_Unit]

The Soils Unit's Mark Whatmuff shows @NSWSKN toxic implications of high Cu, Zn, Cd in 15yr DPI trial. Toxicity varies with SOC and pH. #SKNroadtrip

Solution: Build enough C&N in pasture phase to minimise the need for fert N in crop phase, while avoiding net rundown of soil C over time

[NSW Soils Unit @NSW_Soils_Unit]

Dilemma posed by Suz Orgill at Incitec conference today Melbourne: how to balance need for crop N and maintain soil C? See next for solution

[NSW Soils Unit @NSW_Soils_Unit]

Farm advisers and inoculant manufacturers want improvements in microbial carriers so rhizobia can survive acidic and dry soils in
