Happy to contribute to @MADsoil's special issue of #JPNSS such as the method review on the 'Architecture of soil microaggregates' and by leading 'Impact of bare fallow management on soil carbon storage and aggregates across a rock fragment gradient'

The first issue of #JPNSS is out, a @MADSoil special issue on the development of soil structure and its link with soil functions reflected in the editorial! We were happy to contribute to the interesting collection of studies. Read more at https://t.co/cfBSBvyWuy

Spannende Einblicke von @SebDoetterl in die Bodenforschung in den Tropen. In den Tropen kann es sich nicht nur um Kohlenstoffsequestrierung drehen sondern ganzheitliche Forschung ist nötig, da der Boden entscheidend für viele sozioökonomische Faktoren ist.

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

Was a great pleasure to recently host @MegBar97 from #UQ and Svenja Roosch from @UniHannover to discuss intriguing data about the soil organic carbon storage in Australian Vertisols and prepare some exciting aggregates from a clay content gradient for upcoming #NanoSIMS @TUMsoil.

[Meghan Barnard @MegBar97]

I recently returned from a rewarding visit to @tumsoil and @peth_lab, where I gained hands-on experience with NanoSIMS and received a crash course in CT and image analysis. A massive thank you to @GeoSchweizer, Svenja Roosch, and @VincentFelde for this invaluable opportunity! 🙏

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

Excited to kick off the #SoilPACMAN project in Paris on how soil pores influence soil organic C dynamics and its biogechemical microhabitats. Connecting @TUMsoil and @iEESParis at @Sorbonne_Univ_ & @CNRS. Thanks for support @dfg_public & ANR! Stay tuned for our upcoming results.

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

Great postdoc position with the fantastic soil biogeochemistry group @Livermore_Lab and @NoahSokol. Exciting topic and an awesome opportunity I can highly recommend applying!

[Noah Sokol @NoahSokol]

I’m hiring a soil biogeochemistry postdoc @Livermore_Lab to study soil-based strategies for carbon removal in the field, esp. interactions between soil organic C cycling and enhanced weathering. Work with an amazing, collaborative team! Salary: $108K/yr.

@navarro_pedreno @ClaireChenu2 @Thuenen_SOM @JensLeifeld Agree, there would not be much soil organic C without plants. Still, if it weren't for the many interactions with soil components, plant-/biota-derived soil C would be emitted back into the atmosphere relatively quickly. The extent and longevity of these interactions matter 💪

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

Interesting article about how to define #carbon sequestration in soils and climate change mitigation by Axel Don et al. @Thuenen_SOM @JensLeifeld @ClaireChenu2 and others https://t.co/sIx0wwpg10

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

Fantastic to have this study published @NatureComms about how calcium promotes the formation mineral-associated soil organic matter by mediating coupled biotic-abiotic mechanisms: https://t.co/pyRMBF2bUR
Congratulations @ItamarShabtai, @JLehmannCornell, @metarolism, and others!

[Nature Communications @NatureComms]

Here, @ItamarShabtai @metarolism @GeoSchweizer @JLehmannCornell expand the role of calcium in #SoilOrganicMatter #MAOM formation, by showing that Ca alters microbial conversion of plant #carbon into persistent mineral fractions
https://t.co/h5gYuuCJk1

[Itamar Shabtai @ItamarShabtai]

Happy to share our new @NatureComms paper. We show that calcium changes how microbes process plant litter, increasing #soil #carbon persistence. Work by @JLehmannCornell @metarolism @GeoSchweizer

Thanks for the great organization and collaboration, Yahan Hu (@TUMsoil) as well as Martin Werner and Max Zollner (both Professorship Big Geospatial Data Management of @ed_tum)!

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

Fantastic hosting a #SoilCarbon #Hackathon. Putting together soil-driven and data-driven minds over microscale #NanoSIMS images to improve our understanding of soil carbon storage. Great ideas & engaging discussions, stay tuned for papers from #SoilCarbonHack funded by @BMBF_Bund

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

Check out the study for more detailed comparisons & discussions of soil aggregate fractionation techniques and their evaluation using AFM, XPS, NanoSIMS, LA-IRMS, SEM-EDS, EPMA, fluorescence microscopy, synchrotron-based XRF & XANES, and µCT. Image: https://t.co/rd1EYl0GM9 (5/5)

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

New🔥review paper about method developments advancing our understanding of fine soil structures, microaggregates and their functions. Was happy to contribute @MadSoil. Here a summary of various aspects🧵For more details, see #openaccess Amelung, Tang etal. https://t.co/rd1EYl0GM9

[Steffen Schweizer @GeoSchweizer]

Joint efforts are needed to correlate techniques and handle limitations of each. Integration of modeling approaches and upscaling are warranted. Isolation techniques are crucial whereas each structure may differ from its neighbor depending on soil architecture interactions. (4/5)
