SAL Lab at UBC

New SAL Lab paper out! 25-years of stewardship programs enhance regenerative outcomes in rive... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Just out! A new framework for developing soil pedotransfer functions. Includes improved pedotransfer functions for carbon and bulk density for British Columbia soils. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The first global stocktake - an accounting of progress to the Paris climate goals - is out. The red is the range of promised actions. The blue and teal are where we need to be. Full report here: unfccc.int/documents/6316…

A fast-growing industry is paying farmers millions of dollars to store carbon in soils. But some doubt that the science to support such efforts is ready for prime time. And the debate has become surprisingly heated. My feature for @ScienceMagazine science.org/content/articl…

Happy to share another important work: Looking for a potential upper limit of mineral-associated #carbon in thoroughly selected German agricultural #soil with up to 12% SOC, we @Thuenen_aktuell couldn't find any. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

#UWaterloo is proud to announce that a full tuition waiver will be offered to all qualifying students from two First Nation communities on whose traditional territory the University is situated. More: bit.ly/431yA10 | #UWaterlooNews
