There is a LOT of attention for soil health, especially in agricultural systems, but there is very little awareness of the value of intact, undisturbed, native soils. Here, I argue that applying the old-growth concept to soils will help their protection. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

It doesn't look like much. Just an almost completely empty room in a basement. However, this is hopefully going to be the starting point of the acoustic lab at Geisenheim University. Very happy to team up with the Department of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition.

Crop rotations have been around for 1000s of years--great for sustainability and climate adaptation, but can they deliver all the food we need? In short, yes! and even more calories, proteins and fats than cereal monocultures: www.nature.com/articles/s43...
