  1. Counting, sorting, identifying. 🤓
    Time to check all the collected #alpine #SoilFauna from soil samples and pitfall traps from the Ben Avon plateau in the #CairngormsNationalPark in #Scotland .
    After a nice sampling season, I am sitting in the soil labs of the #JamesHuttonInstitute in #Aberdeen . Very promising first results already! 🤞

    Soil aggregation (=erosion prevention), carbob storage, water purification, breakdown of pollutants, biodiversity, soil fertility for agricultural production...

    "fungal diversity can be protected no matter where it occurs. Land managers can allow more woody debris to remain on the landscape as a food source for fungi; anyone can improve their backyard’s soil health by composting."

    We take care for birds, thus let's take care for our fungi! :ecoanarchism_heart:
