💯 the invisible ecosystem services provided by the soil microbial community is difficult to overstate.
Soil aggregation (=erosion prevention), carbob storage, water purification, breakdown of pollutants, biodiversity, soil fertility for agricultural production...I liked this part
"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:

If you go down to the woods today, you might see a GIANT EARTHWORM! 🪱
In New Zealand it’s time for the second round of the global soil biodiversity monitoring project ‘SoilBON’, and some incredible native earthworms turned up during fieldwork yesterday!

“.. A new study by Dr. Angela Harris from The University of Manchester and Professor Richard Bardgett from Lancaster University has revealed that scientists can now detect the hidden world of microbes living in the soil—from the air. ..Published in New Phytologist, the research shows that detailed airborne images capturing many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used to predict the abundance and diversity of microbes that live in the soil beneath plant canopies. This offers a new way to monitor soil health and biodiversity…Our findings show that the detailed spectral information captured from airborne sensors can tell us a lot about the microbes living in the soil. With advanced hyperspectral satellites planned for launch soon, this approach could make monitoring soil health and biodiversity at continental and even global scales possible and affordable," says Dr. Harris…

@frankashwood Ooooh... It looks great! Tagging for #SolarPunkSunday!

It's week 3 of fatherhood, and today I was granted special dispensation from shopping, housework, nappies and feeding, to do a brief spot of macrophotography in the sunshine, brilliant!
The highlight was this incredible Oribatid mite, sporting long defensive spines (Neotrichozetes spinulosa). I've nicknamed it the Hellraiser mite, which seems to be catching on - feel free to use it too!

Identifying soil insect larvae is tricky sometimes. The next time I get a comment by a reviewer asking "Why only to family level?" I send him/her this photo. 😋
Left a Hydrophilidae larva (#Coleoptera), without legs...
Right a Scatopsidae larva (#Diptera)... -
My slightly late offering for day ten of #invertober (common earthworm) 🪱
Did you know earthworms have a special lip-like first head segment called a prostomium (meaning 'before the mouth')? They use it to sense and manipulate food, and move through soil!

I've been largely absent from social media lately, as it would be an understatement to say I've got lot on at the moment... with a draft book manuscript due in two weeks (Eeeeek!), and a lot of research work to complete before a brand new baby Ashwood arrives in five weeks (even more Eeeeeek)!!
Time is a scarce commodity right now, send positive vibes please!

A new study connects recent regionally confined warming in China 2010ff to their strive for healthy air by scrubbing SO2 from their coal chimneys. *
In other news, India is lambasted by a politician for excluding most of their coal chimneys from SO2 scrubbing regulation. **
And here's a curious side effect of acid rain from SO2:
it reduces CO2 emissions from soil 💡
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0341816221005725 "Acid rain reduces soil CO2 emission and promotes soil organic carbon accumulation in association with decreasing the biomass and biological activity of ecosystems: A meta-analysis" by Ziqiang Liu et al 2022So when large areas simultaneously get rid of SO2 pollution
, CO2 emissions start to rise noticeably? Europe's SO2 reduction was fastest, USA is her typical laggard, and China began 2010ff and is now already on par with a mid-1990s Europe, much faster than USA.
My musings:
I guess, it means, once the soil removes the acid, CO2 emissions start to rise.
AFAIK, acid removal is no automatism in forest soil but I can imagine, removal from agricultural land happens automatically bit by bit during subsequent harvests? (Yum!)Germany distributed chalk or something to her forest soils to counter the acidification and to rescue dying forests.
But. Plants and other beings suffer during acidification. And when forests recover they raise their carbon uptake. Crop yields also recover when the soil does, I reckon. (Indeed! see *** and pic 2, and also ****. Now I wonder whether the elsewhere celebrated yield gains are more due to cleaner air than genetical engineering and pesticides!)
Maybe, CO2 emissions from soil are balanced out by increased carbon uptake from healthier beings.
Does the paper say anything about all these musings?"Overall, the responses of soil GHGs emissions to acid rain vary across different ecosystems, climates, soil types and experimental duration, and thus no consensus has emerged yet" 😁

Did someone bury a tiny lemon?
Nope, this is an earthworm cocoon!
After mating, both earthworms will produce a cocoon like this (they're hermaphrodites), containing a fertilised egg. Inside, a baby earthworm will grow, before hatching out the end like a tiny pink noodle. Inside the cocoons, wormlings are protected from drought, flooding and low oxygen conditions, and will hatch when conditions are good again!

Hey, as I do love soil animals and critters, I did support an artist who draws very nice pictures of the vast variety of #SoilBiodiversity (mainly #SoilFauna). Stickers for the kids 🤩
If you love #soil too, give it a try and support Svenja Meyer (https://bsky.app/profile/fminifera.bsky.social) and check out her store at https://smartwork.bigcartel.com/
