We present the first field study to quantify the trade-offs between crop yield and GHG emissions across different agricultural intensification options in the Congo Basin.

The corrupt Biya regime in Cameroon hunts its political opponents, enables Wagner’s illicit activities, and has created conditions for jihadist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS to thrive and fuel the Anglophone crisis. The regime has staged a sham re-election, and unlawfully detained Americans citizens, including those from Idaho. Cameroon is not a U.S. partner, and poses economic and security risks to the American people. It’s time to reassess this relationship before the blowback gets worse.

#PicOfTheWeek: Innovative research @BerkeleyLab is looking at the ground beneath our feet to study how warming soil may cause carbon to be released from soil at higher rates. That could be a big problem: https://t.co/7Q1sgmucNI

"Understanding how warming affects soil organic carbon, across the entire soil profile, is crucial for assessing its response and feedback to climate warming." - Postdoc Steve Kwatcho Kengdo in a recent article from @doescience. Learn more: https://t.co/ia75Lv6KgD @BerkeleyLab

That’s a wrap on an energizing #PANGEA wrkshp @theAGU to scope a @NASAEarth campaign addressing how tropical forest landscapes will respond differently to climate and land-use change. Thanks to participants and all who made it possible @NASA @forestservice @TheWCS @UCLA @CBI_UCLA

Excited to share our new study examining metabolite dynamics at root exudation hotspots in intact soil: https://t.co/qUdGMI25yf. We used reverse microdialysis to simulate a 9-hour long exudation pulse (13C-lab sugars and organic acids) @SoilBiolBiochem @TER_Vienna @univienna 1/5

[Earth and Environmental Sciences at Berkeley Lab @eesalbnl]

We're still meeting and greeting at #AGU23. Come get to know our @BerkeleyLab scientists in the Exhibit Hall, Booth #503. See you soon. 👋

Carbon dioxide causes climate change. But changing it into higher value fuels could be a win-win. Scientists @BerkeleyLab & @uofcincy examined a new approach that uses 2 catalysts to convert carbon dioxide into desired compounds. #ScienceNeverSleeps https://t.co/9GaJE5kZfY
