Soil microbes do a lot but what can you do to support aggregation stabilization? #SoilHealth

We are happy to see a very microbiology-heavy issue of @nature 3 papers, 2 N&V, a research highlight & editorial. To quote Michael Baym “This is an unbelievable time to be a microbiologist. It feels like every few months the textbooks need rewriting” nature.com/nature/volumes…

"Unless the measurements are driving decision-making, they are unnecessary." (On investing in soil health)

This is a scary trend! #agmb

Effects of plant functional group removal 🌳🍃on structure & funct° of soil communities🦠🍄across contrasting ecosystems. Glad and proud for my team to see our new article in Ecology Letters. Paul Kardol @michael_gundale onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

New preprint: Time resolved rhizosphere transcripts show how function changes (before the community does). Soil taxa act as guilds—separate from phylogeny doi.org/10.1101/611863 Erin Nuccio Firestone Lab The Banfield Lab Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Joint Genome Institute

“Soils contain 25% of our planet’s biodiversity” a great reminder (or new info to some!) from Lori Phillips AAFC Canada #CAPIdialogue2019

Farmers are 10% more likely to plant cover crops on owned land than on rented land - UNLESS they expect to rent the land >5y & UNLESS their landlord is also a farmer! Fascinating findings (confirming what I’ve always suspected 🤓) from Brady Deaton #CAPIdialogue2019

New paper out where we show that a single soil inoculation can alter #soil biotic community composition for over two decades!! Possibilities for belowground #restoration. NL Inst of Ecology Soil Biodiversity #soilbiodiversity #soillegacies #fieldexperiment bit.ly/2XDYE04 1/2

As #plant2019 begins remember it is more important for your crops to get a good start; good soil temp, right moisture, right depth, good spacing than who starts or finishes first.

Soil microbes are wild, un-pampered, uncultured...to understand their ecology, don't look in culture, look in the soil! New #Sciart by Victor O. Leshyk for our new @EcossNAU research published in The ISME Journal (also see my thread below! Elisabeth Bik ): rdcu.be/bz2u0

How soil carbon can help tackle climate change "supported by all stakeholders including consumers, are needed to support farmers in this key challenge of a generation." theconversation.com/amp/how-soil-c…

Phosphate isn’t the only thing AMF deliver and you might still get colonization in high P soils but focus on not ‘outsourcing’ the jobs of AMF.

Quorum sensing and it’s impact on soil health: Plant diversity is the key "Life would not be possible without microbes and fungi. They live all around us, inside us and they are a vital component to agriculture in ways we are just starting to understand." bit.ly/2J6LLpM
