@OurCowMolly @jilledmondson25 @KatieField4 @SouthYorks_SC @PPS_UoS @TheAHDB That's great news Eddie. Will be really good to learn what you find out 👍

@jilledmondson25 @KatieField4 @GarethPhoenix @SouthYorks_SC @PPS_UoS Great to see this job opportunity !, our farm has been selected to be part of @TheAHDB Environment Baselining Project so we are about to learn lots about soil carbon 🧠.

Now we’re looking at how microbial competition for P determines the responses in grasslands to elevated CO2 with @fluxsoilsleaves - focusing on acidic vs calcareous grassland responses to changing atmospheric CO2 @GarethPhoenix @PPS_UoS @BiologyatYork

Another day at the @sheffielduni Arctic field course. Group projects and data collection, from wood ant behaviour to structure in arctic ecosystems. @GarethPhoenix @DrHollyCroft @sheffieldplants @PPS_UoS

@NikiRust @OurCowMolly If you want to chat or get any more details @NikiRust, very happy to help.

Cambridge Street Collective has arrived. 20 vendors offering food from across the world all under one roof in Europe’s biggest purpose-built food hall. #Sheffield @benmiskell

Your regular reminder that solar farms take up less of the UK than golf courses - even on a pathway to net-zero carbonbrief.org/factcheck-is-s…

🚨BREAKING🚨 UK emissions in 2023 fell to lowest since 1879, new @CarbonBrief reveals 💷Emissions now 53% below 1990, as GDP up 82% ❤️‍🔥Drop in 2023 largely unrelated to policy ⛰️Coal now lowest since 1730s (!) 🚗Transport is largest sector, then buildings ⚡️Power now likely emits less than farms🐄 1/ carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-em…

@ScootJD @PPS_UoS Was great to hear about your research Scott, and get a good overview of the importance of swamps. Thanks.

Really great day back in Sheffield to give a seminar for @PPS_UoS. Big thanks to @GarethPhoenix for the invite to speak about my favourite subject - swamps!

@emgbotany @JWSilvertown @dunkie_c Thanks for choosing the paper Ellie. Hope your students like it, and if they don't, let me know! Would be really interesting to hear what criticisms they have 🙂

I'm teaching #Plant #Ecology & selecting papers to discuss. 1st up is #niches & #coexistence so obvs a @JWSilvertown classic is in order. To complement, I just found this new paper by @GarethPhoenix @dunkie_c Can't wait to hear what my students think! rdcu.be/dl4a9

@amer579 @SaudiEcologist Congratulations, well deserved 🎉🎉

@SaudiEcologist الف الف مبروك ياغالي واسأل الله عز وجل أن يوفقك في حياتك العلميه والعمليه مبارك هذا الإنجاز والفخر يا أبا قصي💐

I am thrilled to announce that I successfully passed my PhD viva at @sheffielduni. Huge thanks to my examiners, professors @sheffieldplants & @kmaseyk for an incredible experience. Special thanks to my supervisors, professor @GarethPhoenix & Dr @DrHollyCroft .

These findings may have further global implications, not just for understanding P-limited ecosystem responses to CO2, but also because the contrasting soil chemistries of the two grasslands are representative of ecosystem at contrasting stages of pedogenesis.

Therefore, any C allocated below ground by plants simply serves to increase the soil microbial biomass, increasing competition for P between plants and microbes, and reducing acidic grassland plant growth.
