Episode 6 of Soil Matters: traditional practices complement modern #soilscience, strengthen resilience against desertification and connect local stewardship to global agendas on #foodsecurity & climate justice. ➡️ ow.ly/6IF850Yt970 @Soil_Science @ejsoilscience @SUMjournal

Soil health is gaining the attention it deserves, but gaps remain. In this article on the @Soil_Science site, our co-founder and co-Executive Director Ellen Fay highlights a timely reminder that soil isn’t a niche issue: it’s the foundation of resilient futures. #SoilHealth

SEESOIL Group Visit Farm Site to Discover Impact of Cover Crop Types on Soil Moisture The BSSS South East England Soil Discussion Group (SEESOIL) held their Annual Meeting in Cambridgeshire yesterday. We were joined by members from both industry and academia across the region.

This session at the BSSS Conference offered an understanding of why soil health has remained under-recognised and what is needed to bridge the gap between international ambition & on-the-ground impact. Ellen Fay from @SoilsAlliance explores this further. soils.org.uk/blog/placing-s…

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

We welcome research that explores the mechanisms behind soil memory and hysteresis effects, and how they shape interactions among rock, soil, water, air & life. 🔗 Find out more: ow.ly/1Bnc50Yt00h @Soil_Science #SoilScience #soil #CriticalZone

"#Peatlands are water ecosystems at the very beginning. They are born from water, saturated and sustained by water, and in turn they regulate the water that millions of people and many agrifood systems depend on" @LI_Lifeng_FAO @ #ForestDay #WorldWaterDay on Celebrating Peatlands

Soils are vital for supporting agriculture, mitigating environmental quality, & provision of ecosystem services. Share your research on conservation, restoration, and sustainable management to protect ecosystems & soil health. ow.ly/fnpJ50Yqhn4 @Soil_Science @SUMjournal

A powerful climate solution hiding in plain sight Just 3% of the world’s land, covered by peat soils, holds more carbon than all the planet’s forests combined. Protecting and restoring #soils isn’t a side issue — it’s a powerful climate solution. ow.ly/gm1z50YkWoo
