Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) are essential micronutrients 🫘👨🍳🥘, critical for both crop growth🌿🌱🍀 and human health💔👩⚕️. About 32% of soils were Cu-deficient, while 14% showed Zn deficiency. New study: https://t.co/l3mnu0BMt5
Cuaxustles Terric Anthrosols have been proposed as the @IUSS_ORG World Soil of the Year 2027!
Terrace soils, like those used for potato cultivation in Peru, tea in China, or maize in Mexico, are a testament to human innovation in agriculture.🇵🇪🇲🇽🇨🇳
Best of luck to the team!

The soil profile is breached, subsoil exposed, and degradation becomes self-reinforcing.
Often, this is not natural failure, but unmanaged development and altered drainage without soil-informed planning.
Soil resilience has limits.
Once exceeded, recovery is slow and costly.
Just published in @theAGU: The Impacts of Erosion on the Carbon Cycle. A 📰review at global scale🌍. More than ⚡️ 1 Billion tons of carbon are lost due to erosion every year. Contributing to debate if erosion is source or sink. More: https://t.co/PS1LLixaYA
UNESCO has officially endorsed IUSS Decade of Soil Sciences for Sustainable Development
This puts Soil Sciences at the center of global efforts to advance the SDGs through science, tech, and innovation
A big step forward for the soil community! 🌍🌱

Although I’m an unabashed USSR enjoyer, this map shows the most damning thing about its policies
This is the best farmland in the world. But the USSR depended on grain imports for its whole existence. It’s easy to see why it failed
(The RF is a net exporter as you’d expect)
Diez años después de su publicación en papel, se digitalizó el libro "Suelos de Córdoba" que presenta las características de 22 variables del horizonte superficial.
Para algunas variables (ej: CIC, micronutrientes) sigue siendo la única fuente de datos a nivel provincial.
Last year we attempted to define 'soil' - now we have written a longer and shorter definition of ‘soil science’.

Imperfectly-drained forest soil profile in Japan!
Formation of Mn nodules inside the soil matrix due to the alternative wetting and drying conditions by ground water.
A coarse Mn concrete was observed.
