Awesome new artwork in @Harpenden tunnel including Rothamsted's Winifred Brenchley bit.ly/3YA0C4b an agricultural botanist & John Lawes bit.ly/3LWPGX1 the founder of Rothamsted Experimental Station @Rothamsted . Who is the talented artist? @HarpendenTown

Nice paper looking at weed species on Broadbalk here doi.org/10.1111/wre.12… "Can the storage effect hypothesis explain weed co-existence on the Broadbalk long-term fertiliser experiment?"

...the warm winter and wet spring has selected for vetch and blackgrass it appears, a lot of dock too

The annual Broadbalk 'weed' survey has been done by a team of staff past and present. Lower diversity this year it appears. Previous years data here 10.23637/rbk1-weeds_1991-2021_01 @RHull76 @Rothamsted #weeds #biodiversity #Broadbalk

Where has all the sunshine gone? Here it is - 130 years worth since 1893 shining on @Rothamsted in #Harpenden 😎🌞 get the data here👉 era.rothamsted.ac.uk/dataset/rms/01… #FAIRdata #weather #sunshine

It rained a lot this week! At Rothamsted the total on 22nd May was 60.7 mm = 8.8mm more rain in one day than the average total for the whole month of May (170 yr average 51.9 mm since 1853). Get monthly rain fall data here era.rothamsted.ac.uk/dataset/rms/02… @Rothamsted #weather #Harpenden

Fantastic news about one of our scientists, Prof Steve McGrath - not just a brilliant scientist, he's a lovely guy too 🥳 Congratulations Steve! He has 78 publications related to the Long-Term Experiments bit.ly/3WKkeSw @royalsociety @Rothamsted #science

Could soil be the solution to global carbon capture? Nice article including comments from Rothamsted's Stephan Haefele. awe.international/article/186685… via @AweImagazine

Light loving plant species like grasses dominate when there are grazing animals; a result that has come from the @WickenFenNT #LongTermExperiment. Of course, it’s not just plant species that welcome more sunlight. We do too! #SpringEquinox #SpringEquinox2024 @AngliaRuskin
