FAO: FAO launches CropSuit app to help farmers grow the right crops in the right places. “The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) today launched CropSuit, a free web-based application that combines soil information with climate information, topography, land cover and other environmental data to identify the crops most likely to perform well in a given location.”

We built our #opensource LandPKS Soil ID's color tool around a specific yellow Post-it note. Turns out that was a very U.S.-centric assumption, and users around the world have told us so.

So we're rethinking it. If you measure soil color in the field, we'd genuinely like to know what you use and what you can actually get locally. Your answers shape what we build, and we'll give you early access to the result.

Amazing and reassuring research. There is a global network taking care of the planet. We just need to get out of the way.

'Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi form symbioses with ~70% of plant species, building hyphal networks that exchange nutrients for host-derived carbon. These tubular networks move ~1 billion metric tons of carbon per year into Earth’s soils... We estimate that global topsoils contain 1.10 × 1017 ± 0.13 × 1017 SD kilometers of living hyphae, weighing ~300 ± 60 SD megatons, ~4- to 6-fold the biomass of humans. Our uncertainty analyses identified undersampled ecosystems that require additional empirical attention.' - Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN)

Cranfield University: UK’s national soil database goes open access. “In collaboration with Defra, Cranfield’s Land Information System (LandISPortal) – which includes the National Soil Map of England and Wales (NATMAP) – is now on a new platform and open access, free and available for everyone to use. The initiative delivers the commitment in the government’s Land Use Framework to make this […]

🌳 Brazilian study used small amounts of Amazonian dark earth (ADE) in forest restoration and found it supercharged tree growth.

🚜 In land that had been worn down by deforestation, pasture use, and poor soil management, the ADE was found to enable faster beneficial fungal growth which enriched the tree rhizosphere.

🍄 Fungi turned out to be more important for establishment than other soil components.

👉 Good News for Restoration Science: Small-volume inoculum can be developed to help native trees establish faster without relying on fertilizers or herbicides.

University of Waterloo: Canadian Peatland Data Portal debuts as a landmark tool for climate research and policy. “Peatlands cover upwards of 12 per cent of Canada’s landscape and store more carbon than all other ecosystems in the country combined… Yet until now, information on these critical ecosystems has been difficult to find. To address this gap, the Can-Peat Network at the University […]

Iowa State University: Digging deeper on how tillage methods affect soil health, yield. “Tillage’s impact on soil carbon is also important to companies that pay farmers to reduce tilling to help meet corporate carbon emissions goals…. A database built by Iowa State researchers aims to provide more certainty by digging deep into the effects of tillage, integrating the results of more than […]

DECOY MOLECULES PROMPT SOIL BACTERIA TO TARGET POLLUTANTS

Nagoya University researchers found a new way to make soil bacteria clean up pollution using decoy molecules without changing the bacteria's genes. This could help clean contaminated sites.
