Do you want to measure, visualize, correct, and interpret #redoxpotentials in #soil? I have put down ressources on my personal website (created with #blogdown using #RStats 🥳) kristofdorau.de/projects/ 👈

NEW Characterization and spatial distribution of mesoplastics in an arable soil Dorau et al. doi.org/10.1111/ejss.7… @LeibnizUni @UofGlasgow @wileyearthspace @SUMjournal @Soil_Science #Soil #Research

My sincerely thanks to the fantastic team, sponsors and our great authors

A little teaser from our field site with 3 ha in size: More than 5 tons of soil were taken and homogenized in the field, 500 kg of it were treated in the lab, 173 individual samples, composed of nearly 1k split tube sampler drillings, and many more highlights

Happy and proud of the great teamwork that went into this article and the output 🤩Plastics are an emerging new component that enters soils. We looked at sampling designs and gave recommendations for coherent polymer mass characterization. doi.org/10.1111/ejss.7…

@Anlyse_this @UDcanr @ASU Congratulations 🎉 Very well deserved and all the best for the next steps!

I am moving to Arizona State University where I will be a professor in the School of Life Sciences in May 2025! While I have appreciated the successes, challenges, and growth opportunities ⁦@UDcanr⁩ the last 12+ years, I am looking forward to new adventures ⁦@ASU⁩

@KeiluweitLab @IUSS_ORG Well done and deserved :)

Very proud and honoured to receive the PM Huang award (@IUSS_ORG), and looking forward to talking microbes, minerals and organic matter with everyone at ISMOM 2024 in Japan! 🦠🔬🔶🍀🇯🇵

@mrillig No problem at all and looking forward to the read :) By the way, I met @rosolinoingraff a couple of weeks ago and only heard good things about his time in Berlin and your mentoring!

@DorauKristof We just corrected the error in the proofs. The paper will be published open-access. Thanks again for spotting this error, this was really helpful!

New paper online Tamara Meizoso-Regueira, PhD student in my group, led this work on predicting future #microplastic concentrations in #soil from data collected using the Rothamsted soil archives. A short🧵 @SamCusworth sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@mrillig Unfortunately no access to the journal but do I get something wrong...0.67% w/w is not mg/kg as written in the GA. However, nice (or horrifying) forecast and well done

The increase in particle numbers over time is exponential, which is probably due to increasing inputs and increasing particle fragmentation. Future soil microplastics could reach 0.67% w/w by 2122 (business as usual). This is similar to amounts used in experiments now.

@MSchiedung @CarstenWMueller @k_witzgall @tumsoil @dfg_public @earth_shape @TUBerlin @GFZ_Potsdam @uchile @UAtacama Exactly the same came up in my mind. Incredibly informative/intuitive graphics. Congrats @k_witzgall and all involved

@CarstenWMueller @k_witzgall @tumsoil @dfg_public @earth_shape @TUBerlin @GFZ_Potsdam @uchile @UAtacama 🥳 I am excited to read and already love the graphics, as always, very nice @k_witzgall

Early this week, we @SLM_WUR successfully hosted a vibrant symposium that delved into the fascinating world of microplastics. Many thanks to everyone who had joined us. 😀

Fantastic discussions about #microplastics in #soil in Wageningen...many thanks to the organizers for a well organized event.

A fantastic week of nice people and fruitful discussions comes to an end #setac #plastics #soil #maps

@tolivoto @YouTube Fantastic :) looking forward to test it. Thank you for your awesome work

@Philipp_Mauri Thank you. I agree... Scaling up from microsites towards larger scale in conjunction with other methods would be nice! We should sort this out with a Gilden ;)

@DorauKristof Congratulations 🎉 @DorauKristof great work and nice to see that in-situ redox tracing is evolving more and more on landscape level. Would be curious to co-test with classical iron rods

Happy to share another study about #manganese and #iron #IRIS. Subtle differences in altitude (microrelief) had a profound impact on mineral transformation. Read here how we employed image analysis from IRIS films to construct #RedoxMaps 🥳 rdcu.be/dwbbZ

Many thanks to my co-authors and colleagues for support during this study. I highly recommend the fantastic #rayshader package by @tylermorganwall, which pimped the graphical abstract

We have also discussed benefits by IRIS (large reactive surface area) over classical redox electrodes more susceptible to small-scale soil heterogeneity.

@VincentFelde @HMWK_Hessen @jlugiessen Wow....das ist mal ein toller Preis und Anerkennung!!! Sehr gut gemacht und herzlichen Glückwunsch

@peth_lab @UFZ_de @Geoderma_Jrnl Congratulations to everybody involved🎉 very innovative (...and great job on the graphical abstract)!

@MelanieBergma18 @SchnepfUwe That's interesting!!! Thanks for sharing

💡Interesting new study suggests new mechanism supported by laboratory experiments for buoyant #plastic settling in which particles of clay adhere to the surface of the plastic, mediated by the presence of surfactants. This seems to accelerate sinking. nature.com/articles/s4324…
