Today is day and I guess we have work to do. are the basis for food production and ecosystem services. Warming can highly affect soil functions. Let's work together to alleviate warming effects and make the bars less red.

Digging into carbonate coatings using complementary NanoSIMS, µXRF & µXANES: We determined 🅿 and 🅽 hotspots in pedogenic carbonates. In our new paper @GCA_Journal@twitter.com, we found a zoned microscale arrangement and an interesting role of Al minerals within.

Toot toot! Just rolling in from twitter.com/GeoSchweizer. My love for soil science and related biogeochemical research questions started with digging soil pits. Now mostly intrigued to tackle questions on soil organic matter by illuminating aggregate dynamics and exploring spectromicroscopy techniques. I look forward to exciting research discussions, beautiful soil photos, and political aspects in science!
