Happy forest floor Friday.

Want to gauge your #SoilHealth? Soil structure (and structural stability) is the foundation of high-functioning soils. We are working on a reboot of the Slakes app so you can get a proxy for aggregate stability in your kitchen. Beta testing the app with #UrbanSoils of #Bogotá. #Rstats package for multi-sample analysis coming soon. #suelo #SueloUrbano

A portrait of my babies for #FermentationFriday. Back in the fall of 2020, I started a culture with yeast blooms growing on wild grapes (Vitis riparia) in Saint Paul, MN. Inspired by #pulque, I've managed the system as an open #ferment for the last two years, taking it with me to California, Iowa, Texas, and Virginia. It'll happily eat whatever sugar source I give it, but grapes remain its favorite. #paleodrinking #sediment

Trivia for #WorldSoilDay: of all the geologic materials that evolve into soil, volcanic deposits produce the soils with the greatest capacity to sequester organic carbon. These road cuts reveal some of the gorgeous volcanic soils of Veracruz, Mexico #DiaMundialdelSuelo #Andisols #Andosols #Andosoles

Hello, world! I'm a #soil scientist from Iowa, US, working to support multifunctional landscapes and #climatechange adaptation. Moving to #Colombia in a few weeks.
Passionate about #fermentation that supports diverse rural livelihoods (see #pulque).
