There is so much more to soil than people believe. Photo shows a 3 mile transect of the Otter Valley. All managed differently, different topography with different textures. And that's just the top soil, subsoil is equally diverse! #WorldSoilsDay @WestcountryRT

@WestcountryRT #WorldSoilDay2024 A sediment fence put up in the summer has collapsed under the weight of water and sediment lost from maize field. What soil it has captured is only a fraction of what has been lost to the stream below.

@DaveThroup @BlaenauGwentCBC Ahh, sort of makes sense now. If you come up the mountain from there to the Trig point you can see the Bristol Channel sparkling in the sun.

Yesterday’s route. Only 35 miles but almost 6000ft of climbing. Very hard! Some beautiful scenery & fascinating history. Lowlight - getting chucked off a blocked bridleway by angry landowner. Reported to a very responsive @BlaenauGwentCBC

New flight over La Bérarde today shows a much worse situation than yesterday! 🚁😱 Many buildings have not survived the night and are simply cut in two, just look at the church! 😭 When you are intimely linked to this place this is so HEARTBREAKING 💔 x.com/LeDL_Grenoble/… 1/

Au lendemain de la crue du Vénéon qui a tout emporté à la Bérarde (Isère), le hameau de Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans, n’est plus qu’un champ de ruines. Découvrez les images aériennes filmées par Le Dauphiné libéré samedi matin. 📹 @lagneux

This is a great way of highlighting what's going on to the various generations. Us 'older lot' have felt the difference, but the newer generations can perceive things as 'normal' without any lived reference points/memories. @WestcountryRT

We use 30 year averages to show climatology (average weather conditions). During the 20th century the UK climatology followed a path around a confined box. With #globalwarming and #climatechange they have escaped out the box. This #dataviz shows UK rainfall and temperature.

EA have now given clear guidance on the risk of pollution caused by certain crops, on certain soils in Devon and Cornwall. Maize, Fodder beet, field veg etc. are used as examples and if grown in specific areas, without effective pollution measures, you are liable to enforcement.

@FarmCO2Toolkit @hayneoak @realcornishtone I couldn't agree more about the importance of roots, but this photo seems to show some rill erosion at the bottom of an infield valley. If this area gets all the surface run-off of the field (lack of cover veg) the erosion risk is significantly higher than the rest of the field.

A good demonstration of the power (and importance) of roots in this late strip-tilled winter wheat. The tram line is cultivated but no seed sown, so no roots to hold the #soil. Add the wettest UK winter in living memory and 'Hey Presto', you get a tram line gorge‍... #soilerosion
