Converting plant residue into soil organic matter is an effective way to store water in soil for periods of drought.Self-watering soil could transform farming https://t.co/IPUTiDsX2G
Reminder of critical role for soil nutrient management to mitigate climate change & environment protection.
Plants could remove 6-yrs of CO2 emissions -- if we protect them https://t.co/p0E18hoXbZ
Did you know 1/3 of all global soils are already degraded and yet, we need 1000 years to grow 2-3cm of top soil?
The #soils we see today are all there is! We need to preserve this precious resource!

@plantsoilsci Dr. Raun built #GreenSeeker based to read life-cycle story of a plant through the leaves.
Leaves are nature's most sophisticated environment sensors: New research confirms that leaves are nature's most sophisticated environment sensors https://t.co/CJfPHox8WN
Agricultural waste: Driving us closer to greener transport? https://t.co/u3GFgOpb4c
A good example of increasing efficiency. One man’s waste is another man’s treasure.
