@SoilsAtGuelph @WestonFamilyFdn At the Simcoe Research Station we are tracking soil respiration 24/7 in our intensively monitored ERW field trial using @Picarro and @eosense systems. Feel free to contact us for collab inquiries. #soilCO2 #soilN2O #soilCH4 #soilNH3 #greenhousegases

Soil breathes. 🫁 Measuring that breath reveals soil life activity. Soil respiration = CO₂ from active microbes cycling nutrients + building soil structure. High = healthy, Low = constraints. 🔗 Learn more about Soil Health Testing: tinyurl.com/nhhj6kck @WestonFamilyFdn @UofGuelphOAC @AgInnovationON #SoilHealth #SHAP #SoilsAtGuelph

@OntarioSoilCrop Ready to include ERW as a BMP? It does far more for soils than just carbon sequestration. Not sure? Attend ERW'26 in Guelph this July to engage with commercial and academic practitioners. #soilhealth #EnhancedRockWeathering #MRV @SoilsAtGuelph @undocarbon @CWollastonite

The 2025–2026 ONFARM Soil Health Report is in—and one trend stands out: Stacking BMPs (like cover crops + organic amendments) can boost soil health. *Results vary by soil + topography Explore 32 sites → ontariosoilcrop.org/wp-content/upl… #OntarioAg #OntarioSoilCrop #ONFARM #SoilHealth

@SoilsAtGuelph Two additional metrics addressed through silicate mineral amendment: Soil Acid Neutralization Capacity; Plant‑Available Silicon (Extractable Si). Find out more at ERW'26, July 8-10, Guelph.

Did you know that Ontario is in the midst of launching a Soil Health Test? 🌾 That’s right, since 2023 Ontario farmers, advisors, researchers, and labs have been piloting a 5-indicator approach to soil health testing. 🔗 Learn more about what they are measuring and what to expect: tinyurl.com/nhhj6kck @WestonFamilyFdn @UofGuelphOAC @AgInnovationON #SoilHealth #SHAP #SoilTesting #OntAg

@SoilsAtGuelph Happy Earth Day from Simcoe Research Station ERW field trial. Monitoring soil gas exchanges for climate balance.

Happy Earth Day!🌱 We are proud to celebrate the people behind the science and support the next generation of soil scientists. To every researcher, farmer, and advocate championing soil health, thank you! Your work is the foundation for a sustainable future in Ontario and around the world. Healthy soil = healthy future 🌍 @UofGuelphOAC @UofGuelphNews @SoilNetwork @OntarioSoilCrop @GrainFarmers @OntAg #EarthDay #SoilHealth #SoilsAtGuelph #Sustainability #OntAg

Years in the making, our work on silicate-fertilizer interaction is now published in the Nutrient Cycling in Agroecosystems journal: "Mobility of nitrogen and phosphorus solutes in fertilized and silicate-amended soil profiles". doi.org/10.1007/s10705…

ERW paper alert: "Potential Impact of Fires on Enhanced Rock Weathering: Learning from the Effects of Fires on Soil Properties and Nutrients": doi.org/10.3390/fire90…. Published in @Fire_MDPI, this perspective loosely echoes the theme of Fire by Sarah Engels (2026)🔥🎶

@SoilsAtGuelph @GrainFarmers @OntFarmerNews @OntAg This year, we are investigating the interaction of Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW) with nitrogen fertilization at the Simcoe Research Station. ERW itself combined with MRV monitoring provides a path to reducing and optimizing long-term fertilization. #ClimateSmartAg #UNDOCarbon

Getting Nitrogen “just right” matters more than ever 🌾 Split apps + variable rates = smarter use, stronger soil, stable returns. Read more here: soilsatguelph.ca/wp-content/upl… #Soilhealth #OntAg #SoilsAtGuelph #Nitrogenmanagement @GrainFarmers @OntFarmerNews @OntAg

@Soil_Science @SoilsAtGuelph Compaction is usually treated as a cost. ERW (Enhanced Rock Weathering) flips the script on that: non‑compacted soils are required for effective weathering, so fixing soil structure becomes an investment that unlocks carbon removal revenue.

Damaged soils lose their function🌱 When soils become compacted, they lose the ability to function — organic matter declines, carbon is released and water can no longer be stored properly. This can lead to flooding, poor crop growth and polluted rivers. ow.ly/6bIt50YkmUg

@OntarioSoilCrop We need to talk about ERW in Ontario. Now that there are MRV protocols and voluntary carbon markets, it has become a commercial reality. Yet there is more fundamental and applied science to sort, and stakeholder engagement is critical to supporting and expanding uptake.
