👏Vira Leng for your brilliant PhD work and defense "Impacts of tillage systems on SOC & N dynamics & GHG emissions under a cassava-based system in Cambodia"! 🙏 to all jury members Maurício Roberto Cherubin, Ngonidzashe Chirinda, Catherine Hénault, Marie-Elise Samson, Masse Dominique

On Dec 2 & 3, we had our annual meeting of the CrosyeN project FairCarboN - Programme de recherche exploratoire at UMR AGIR INRAE . A good opportunity to visit their long-term trials on #organicfarming #conservationagriculture #covercrops. Thank you to Lionel Alletto for hosting us & for the field tour

Happy to share our new nature paper, "Large global-scale vegetation sensitivity to daily rainfall variability," led by the amazing Andrew Feldman w/ Pierre Gentine Lixin Wang (him, he) and others.

June 2023, Souleymane DIOP 🇸🇳 Vira Leng 🇰🇭 and Armwell Shumba 🇿🇼 and myself were together at a conference Rothamsted Research AAB @aabiologists.bsky.social The 3 of them have now just successfuly defended their PhD 10 days apart Université Paris-Saclay Université de Montpellier & UofZimbabwe respectively 👏!! #JobDone

My take on how researchers can advance the representation of microbial physiology, including carbon use efficiency, in models of the soil carbon cycle- nature.com/articles/s4155…

🔊Job offers!📢. We will have a few post-doc and PhD studentship positions to join our research team in Aberdeen. Here is the first one: EASTBIO: Soil microbial growth and resilience to environmental change. at University of Aberdeen on FindAPhD.com

Published! Our framework organizes N cycle research through a microbial lens. Rather than focus exclusively on inputs, we emphasize internal recycling and plant-soil microbe uptake processes. We hope this helps frame research and communicate options to growers.

Long in the making, but finally there: Our new article in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment 🌈 where we present our views on the important role of #soilformation & #landscapecomplexity for understanding #soilcarbon cycling across scales. rdcu.be/d5rAC nature.com/articles/s4301…

#2025 RAIZ Soil moisture & temp are key drivers of N2Oemissions. Measuring these factors in the topsoil layer helps to explore how Water-Filled Pore Spaces & temp impact emissions under different cropping systems & hydro-climate extremes.

Our paper on "Hydroclimate volatility on a Warming Earth" is out in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment. We assess existing scientific literature & conduct new analysis--concluding that "#HydroclimateWhiplash" is increasing due to #ClimateChange. [Thread] nature.com/articles/s4301…
