@EmilyDWhalen @sgrandysoil @NoahSokol @JessErnakovich @KeiluweitLab @seritafrey Thanks for this great review! I was happy to see the application of G+/G- data to improve amino sugar necromass estimates get some attention. We also called for this in the 2020 paper led by @jaimiewest and applied it ourselves. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very fun to use high-tech FTICR-MS capacity to investigate what the recipe for a soil aggregate is under different conditions. Thanks @AndreaJilling and @JacksonRD and Malak Tfaily as well as @EMSLscience and truly helpful reviewers.

Grateful UMN gave everyone the afternoon off to watch this memorial. Thanks to the family for inviting us to share the grieving process collectively.

Interesting read. Bypass: "soil “aggregates”, soil quality/health, soil “contributions to ecosystem services”, and whole‐soil metagenomics" Hyperbole: "biochar, the “4 per 1000” initiative, and the role of soils in achieving Sustainable Development Goals" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

@wooddecomp I’m with you, always worked by project but see the upcoming need for cross-project integration... will probably just do that as necessary though

Data mgmt question: for things you measure in multiple projects, do you have separate files by project? Or separate files by measurement that have your data across your projects? I’ve always done the former but now that I have more data the latter could be cool for synthesis.

I love this paper- nice proof of how grasses + microbes work together when they need to.

@gibbological @isbsci @sush_pat @thaasophobia @avcarrology @wrfseattle @uwescience @CMiST_UW @UW Well done Sean! Congrats on all the good work.

The project that first sparked my interest in soil organic matter, esp. the kind near/stuck to clay minerals. Particulate & mineral-associated N respond rapidly (w/i 3 yrs) to cover crops & tillage. First paper as a #newPI, out now in @Geoderma_Jrnl: bit.ly/2qWnxsL

Prepping to give my first ever intro to #soils lecture next week. Excited to give the basics on my favorite subject!

Come work with me @UMassAmherst! We're hiring a tenure-track molecular soil ecologist. Wonderful colleagues, welcoming environment, and beautiful location. Please Retweet! careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-us/…

@wooddecomp @bradfordlab Right??

@bradfordlab How?

Nifty incubation w/ 3 pulses labeled C. PLFAs showed new C, but overall MBC didn't increase. Relatively more litter C found in fungal PLFA, but no higher F:B ratio. #appsec1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@jH_wisc Super, thanks!

Beautiful bumblebee guide!

Been using this code to compare effect sizes for different variables and treatments in a soil health data set: stackoverflow.com/questions/4221… I'm thinking of re-writing the function to do log response ratio instead of Cohen's d. Anyone have a better way?

@econ_servation @jlmgutknecht Just tried this- it's awesome! Can run you through it if you like Jess.

@jlmgutknecht Guessing this is something the rorcid package could handle?

Alright #sciencetwitter: I just found out that I have to pull DOIs for all my publications as possible. Any way of doing this that's not extremely tedious?
