PhD opportunity making soils in the lab, and finding out how microbes make them. Without the usual complications....why not add your own? Will be fun!

@JMBecologist Really, whats the point of any journal what with "the internet"? Preprint servers, open code/data,latex, MS Word etc etc. We pay for a stamp. Endorsement could be obtained by other means -eg review before submit, society curation.... Just needs thought, and community willing. RG

[U-GRASS @SSP_UGRASS]

What controls the recycling of dead soil microbes and why it matters for soil carbon stabilization https://t.co/fJHoTUeool
Latest @SSP_UGRASS paper out in @CommsEarth

And if you're can't get enough of sticky dead microbes, more research here https://t.co/bJ6mt8pbLQ

[Communications Earth & Environment @CommsEarth]

Microbial necromass recycling, which can influence soil carbon stabilization, is controlled by microbial growth and precipitation.

@wooddecomp @bradfordlab @NoahFierer @vargasfao Another 2cents: "Bad" indicators more likely to be universal, because intensified soils are more homogenous (high-er pH, low OM etc). "Good" indicators never universal, because non-intensified soils vary. These can be established though, by context. Good article! Rob.

Postdoc @arthurbroadbent shares the findings from their cool ❄️ snow removal field experiment in Alpine grasslands #BES2019

[Microbial response to extreme climatic events @Climate_Soil]

Talking at #BES2019. Conclusions so far: the response of soil ecosystem functioning (ie resilience and resistance) to climate disturbances CAN be predicted from initial soil properties and climate. @OceaneNicolitch talking. Project with @frantecol & @Ecology_Holly. #ClimateChange
