95 Prozent aller Lebensmittel gehen auf den #Pflanzenbau 🌾 – und somit auf den #Boden – zurück.
Die Verantwortung, bewirtschaftete Böden gesund zu halten, tragen vor allem Landwirt*innen. Ein neues Dossier des Thünen-Instituts zeigt, wie nachhaltige Bewirtschaftung die Böden im Klimawandel schützen kann.

#Soil is a vibrant, dynamic, and communicative web of diverse microorganisms that underpin the vitality and sustainability of our planet. It hosts an extensive network of soil bacteria and fungi that interact symbiotically with plants and is responsible for a multitude of processes essential for ecosystem health and resilience.

Plants, like grass and food crops, love stable conditions. A farm I'm involved in is doing an experiment with hedgerows and the first graphs are in. Too early to brag, but the results look very much like: hell yeah, hedgerows FTW. This makes me very happy this morning :)
I will have to alert the researcher to #grafiekPolitie before they publish I see ;)

Imogolite (Pedology 🟤)
Imogolite is an aluminium silicate clay mineral with the chemical formula Al2SiO34. It occurs in soils formed from volcanic ash and was first described in 1962 for an occurrence in Uemura, Kumamoto prefecture, Kyushu Region, Japan. Its name originates from the Japanese word imogo, which refers to the brownish yellow soil derived from volcanic ash. It ...

Properties located downwind of, and just outside, the #EatonFire are prioritized for free #soil testing under this program.
Soil samples from properties located within the burn scar, downwind of, and just outside, the Eaton Fire area can be submitted for testing even though they may not fall within the squares on the map.
South Korean energy and chemical firms such as S-Oil and SK Gas are expected to benefit from rising refining margins and LNG trading opportunities if the Strait of Hormuz is blocked, as global supply disruptions drive up oil and LNG prices and create new market dynamics.

Taking a fresh look for #funding that would enable me to fill #conservation #skills gaps in the #northwest of #UK. I just want to afford rent and food while I tackle hard-to-fill #habitat #creation and #restoration needs, #rewilding, #permaculture #design, #regenerative #agriculture and #farm work, etc. I'm working from the premise that there's no money to be made doing these things, so if I can secure a #basic #income then I can go and do the work. Feedback please. Love and #soil health to you!
"Lakeside rotates its #wetland among its four fields. When a field is returned to production after three years under water, Wenner said, its weeds and pests have been drowned; #soil health has improved; fewer chemical inputs are needed; and the field’s produce can be classified as organic, increasing its value."
Dartmouth College: Dartmouth Team Launches Public Database on Soil Fungi. “In a new study published in Scientific Data, Dartmouth researchers present a comprehensive database that catalogues the spore traits of 344 mycorrhizal fungi species. By consolidating existing but neglected knowledge of mycorrhizal traits, the database will help scientists study how fungi—and the plants they […]
Dear Friends with gardens
- Just added a regenerative #gardening (#soil improvement) link to my website
https://mettaray.com/Health/
- Been planting calandula in a large #pot. The gravel I use at the bottom of the pot is from the coast. I know because today it contained a complete #shell. The shell went to my pet #elephant. He seemed pleased. #Ganesha. I use the French #pottage garden system. My soil is a little wasted or toxic even... It is also small and shady. That is why I am a #mint fanatic.
- The back of the garden is mainly the remains of an overgrown #cherry #tree and a dried out #pond. The #fox likes it.
- I tend to water very early. In the dark even. I also somehow manage to grow #thyme (common does well). #Sage. Again the best is the common variety.
Anyway, it is #light now and very pleasant. For the sake of my health will let the sun create vitamin D for me. Those of you working on their screen tan. Remember the outside.
Have a great day everyone. Be kind to the seedlings...

It is #WorldDayToCombatDesertificationAndDrought!
Globally, 1⃣5️⃣-3️⃣6️⃣% of #soils are degraded (UNCCD, #FAO, #IPCC and others).
The trend is still rising📈 and not in line with the #UN goal to “halt and reverse #LandDegradation” and, by 2030, to “achieve a land degradation-neutral world” (#SDG15).⛔

“Desertification is a serious problem in parts of Italy, Spain, and Portugal…
The LIFE DESERT-ADAPT project tackled this challenge head-on.
It promoted adaptive methods like agroforestry, permaculture, and regenerative agriculture…
It also brought together local stakeholders and encouraged policy changes to spread these solutions across the Mediterranean.”
