Exploring how #agroforestry 🌽🌳 influences #soil #arthropods 🐛🪳and nutrient cycling.

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

☎️UK undergrads!

Join the Biodiversity Futures lab @NHM_London for a ✨ paid ✨ 8-week placement funded by @GW4plusDTP.

Study how 🌳 influence soil decomposition processes and develop your fieldwork, lab, and stats skills.

Deadline 14th May. Info: https://t.co/4huheDGMy1

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

Be careful what jokes you make around your kids, or you will end up on a conference slide!

Thanks to @NHM_Students for the chance to showcase my DIY dad's contribution to science AND chat about how alley-cropping could help to tackle soil degradation on UK farms🌳🌾

Views from the office 🏞️.

We had a fantastic week learning about alpine ecology and geological processes with the second-year @YorkEnvironment ES & EG students!

Come grab a pint and listen to my talk about satellites, great lakes, water resource monitoring and flamingos! 🦩🛰️💧 14th May at The Devereux!

[Oxford University Museum of Natural History @morethanadodo]

Applications are NOW OPEN!

The Undergraduate Bursary Scheme provides students from underrepresented backgrounds with 5-6 weeks of hands-on work experience in a museum.

Projects cover natural sciences research, museum collections management, and public engagement with science.

960 litter bags weighed, sealed, and ready for the field! 🌿

Undergraduate or master's students in London, Cambridge, Nottingham, or Suffolk looking to gain some valuable fieldwork experience, I could use some help burying these.

Contact [email protected] for more info 🌳

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

Plus one of my favourite photos from Scotland.

Thank you to the Chadacre Agricultural Trust for supporting this experiment.

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

Just migrated south from @JamesHuttonInst, where I was lucky enough to set up a soil nitrogen tracer experiment with Maddy Giles and Sandra Caul.

Can't wait to find out what secrets are hidden in my four tiny well plates - do agroforestry 🌳 influence soil nitrogen cycling?

A cool find from one of my tullgren funnel extracts - a #Diptera not quite fully emerged from its pupal shell 🪰

The choice to record specimens like this as either adults or larvae can influence metrics of biological #SoilHealth, so it prompts an interesting discussion!

Check out our policy brief on Earth Observation (EO) and Great Lake management.

EO 🛰️ is a powerful tool for studying water resources. My PhD utilises EO data to explore decadal-scale changes across 100s of East African lakes! @London_NERC_DTP @kclgeography @NHM_Students

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

@BugBoyDawid any ideas on the millipede? 🤞

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

My favourite thing about hand sorting #soil samples is watching the behaviour of these incredible little #fauna.

If anyone can provide an #ID from these photos, I'd love to know what #worm 🪱 and #millipede I had the pleasure of meeting.

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

The sun came out to greet us for our first week of #fieldwork in 2023 🌞

Thanks @AidanByrneSci for being a fab field assistant and getting excited about #soil with me.

@CDahlsjo I had a blast learning about your decomposition experiment in Wytham 🌳. Thanks for having me!

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

If you're at #GSB23 and interested in how alley-cropping influences soil biological quality on arable farmland, stop by poster 76 this afternoon for a chat 🌳🌾🐛

Or if you're app savvy, connect with me on the conference app for more info.

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

Great to see @SoilScholar present the results of their meta-analysis on #SoilBiodiversity in #horticultural systems at #GSB2023.

Some surprising and thought-provoking finds!

[Beth Evans @bethkevans]

What a fantastic couple of days learning how to install soil respiration collars with @RewildingJed.

Can't wait to get back out to @RealFarmED to see how the measurements are taken.

Anyone interested in learning about Regenerative Farming, I would highly recommend a visit 🌾🍄
