Our ✨new paper✨ is out in Ecology! “Gains in soil carbon storage under anthropogenic nitrogen deposition are rapidly lost following its cessation” doi.org/10.1002/ecy.44… @ZacFreedman @aimeeclassen

STOCKROOM HERO RETIRES: The October newsletter celebrates Sherry Webster and her 30+ years of behind-the-scenes work at the @UMich Biological Station, providing the foundational support that allows researchers and students to focus on discovery. myumi.ch/g3PwA

A new @UMBS study found that the composition of the tree and fungal communities and soil biogeochemical processes have more influence on how much carbon is being sequestered above and below ground than previously thought. myumi.ch/rAZAj

Due to a reduction in staff, NOAA GLERL's communications services will be taking an indefinite hiatus. Please follow @ciglr_um to stay updated on GLERL and CIGLR's collective Great Lakes science.

🚨 @NOAA is essential for weather forecasting, climate research, and public safety. AGU stands with the scientific community in urging Congress to protect and strengthen NOAA, not dismantle it. Our economy, environment, & safety depend on it. 📢 Speak up: lite.spr.ly/60021I7O

Check out @bpropscience's interview with @UWMadScience about her recent @ESAEcology paper: dx.doi.org/10.1002/ecy.44…. Great job Brooke! @DepartmentSoil @UWMadisonCALS

Took advantage of Madison’s one week with snow by hitting the slopes with fellow @DepartmentSoil grad students!⛷️

Had a wonderful time at AGU 2024. Great science and great conversations. Already looking forward to next year!

Target your #GivingTuesday generosity at the U-M Biological Station and our expansion to year-round educational programming. We embed the next generation of environmental problem solvers in nature through intensive, adventurous courses & hands-on research. myumi.ch/yp5DW

Catch up on recent research from our journals with our tip sheet covering: 🔟The "tens rule" in invasion biology ☁️How declining N pollution is bad news for soil C 🌳Fungal friends prevent trees from tracking climate change ...and more! Find it here: esa.org/blog/2024/11/0…

If you are attending the tri societies meeting this year definitely check this out!! Great opportunity for grad students

We assessed forest recovery following 24 years of experimental N deposition inputs, focusing on soil C and associated microbial activities, and found that the C that had built up under high N deposition was no longer present in the system 5 years after treatment termination.

Breaking my social media hiatus to promote mine and @moriahyoung's new paper!! We look at how warming & herbivory interact to affect multiple plant traits, and we point to the need for more long-term studies that include abiotic and biotic stressors 🌱 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

*JOB ALERT* Zhu-Barker Soil Biogeochemistry Lab is recruiting a research technician/lab manager! Please consider applying or help circulate. Applications due August 21! jobs.wisc.edu/jobs/research-…

Tanner Judd, Hub-funded grad student at @UWMadisonCALS, gave a presentation on cover crops and manure at today’s @dairypdpw Business Conference. Learn more about Tanner and his work! ⬇️

Our next @KBSLTER fellow post is by @moriahyoung and her "trials and tribulations" from her 3rd year of PhD data collection. She shares how unexpected challenges that arise during research can help develop perseverance and creativity! lter.kbs.msu.edu/2024/01/moriah…

Had a great time in our joint lab meeting with @TheaWhitman's group making dried floral wreaths. Check out our wonderful creations! Thanks to @KeadyMia for the flowers and inspiration. @DepartmentSoil

A group of roughly two dozen people waving swastika flags is gathered outside the Wisconsin Capitol in downtown Madison this Saturday afternoon.
