The NUE Lab

We are a research group working at the plant-soil-microbe interface to improve Nutrient Use Efficiency for sustainable agriculture and healthy environments.

Previous Honours student Jaidyn gave a great presentation on some of our biocrust metagenomics work in the NT rangelands today at #SoilConferenceAU

This June the NUE Lab are taking part in the push up challenge!
Funds raised will go towards improving critical mental health and suicide prevention services and programs in Australia. https://t.co/L0w3fRuoAH Please donate if you can and stay tuned for progress updates 💪💪

Newly planted tree seedlings are often challenged by drought. Organic nitrogen improves the water use of tropical tree seedlings cultivated for restoration plantings 🌴

Soil plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security - and a Precision Compost Strategy could be a gamechanger 🍏🥕

Highlight of the last day of @2022Iac for me was the morning sesh on #biocrust with 6 💪🏽💪🏻 #WomenInScience in #dryland soil ecology presenting on cyano diversity & ecology: w W. Williams, @CyanoAngie, M. Vega, C. Webber, @briecology & I. Becerra-Absalon! #SoilBiodiversity

So excited to share our new paper in Geoderma exploring the use of microdialysis to simulate root C release, whilst simultaneously monitoring N fluxes!

Big shout-out to @richard_brackin and @rootsofthenorth!

Take a read of some of the work being done by one of our PhD Students, Vithya 🌱🌿🪴🌳

[The Crawford Fund @CrawfordFund]

Vithya Krishnan, @UQ_News, recently provided us with this report on her 2019 Student Award and how she managed to get it completed without travelling to the Philippines as planned.

It seems with or without travel, collaboration is key!

MEDIA RELEASE: Soil carbon needs technology
A lot has been said about measuring soil carbon, but what about making soil carbon - and keeping it there?

First, first-author paper for PhD candidate, Taleta Bailey #FirstPaper.
Thank you to everyone involved! @richard_brackin, @inverted_soil, @DLAntille, @Tim_GxExM_Cot, @bennettmacdona3, @CottonResearch, @CSIROPublishing, Nicole Robinson, and Aidan Chin.

Ever wondered how sampling and storing #soil can affect the results of analyses? Then check out our latest paper!

Excellent on the huge paradigm shift in understanding of what #soil #organic matter is, and how it's stabilised/lost. This has occurred over the past 20-30 years, most soil science core texts yet to catch up.

Though not mentioned, ditto organic #nitrogen uptake by plants... 😉

Undergraduate at an Australian University? Interested in sustainable ag and soils? Heard about cover crops? Apply here for a summer studentship @CSIRO supervised by me and @NinaWelti. Project 12 is the cover crops, but huge listing this year: https://t.co/sDHCqmZKbx

Minimally invasive, in situ soil gas sampling - sounds like a neat compliment to soil microdialysis

@ElliotHowaSpi Yep, I use these columns: first author/title, year, journal, research Qs/aims, methods, findings, strengths/weaknesses, implications for my work, URL. I use Onenote and have a page per topic. I like to add a couple of notes when I save a paper to read later.

Last sampling done and experiment is finished with a week to spare before Christmas! 🥳 Now just about a million samples waiting for analysis next year..
