Is it just CO2? we suggest Land use is a significant driver of increasing floods & droughts. These changes lead to rapid water loss from runoff, causing both floods and water scarcity. HESS paper@ doi.org/10.5194/hess... #LandUse #Floods #Droughts #ClimateAdaptation @pfiener.bsky.social 🧪

HESS Opinions: Floods and droughts – are land use, soil management, and landscape hydrology more significant drivers than increasing CO2?

Abstract. Floods, droughts, and heatwaves are increasing globally. This is typically attributed to CO2-driven climate change. However, at the global scale, CO2-driven climate change neither reduces pr...

Recently I visited the Machakos area of Kenya and saw steep terraced hillsides, with the terraces protected by grasses and trees; maize being intercropped with leguminous perennials, residues being returned to the soil surface. And all this happening at scale, just so impressive!

Tramlines in fields can cause a lot of runoff, carrying soil and pollutants to water. 🚜🌧️ Our paper, dedicated to the late Martyn Silgram, found using very flexible tyres and a rotary harrow to break up compaction can reduce this problem 🌱💧 #farming #environment #soilhealth shorturl.at/lEPB8

There is an open discussion in SOIL on an article about plant physiology and global soil carbon research. If you click on this link you can add your views - egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20... Two assigned reviews are already posted, but the more comments the better the discussion.

Missing the input: The underrepresentation of plant physiology in global soil carbon research

Abstract. Plant processes regulating the quantity and quality of soil organic carbon inputs such as photosynthesis, above- and belowground plant growth, and root exudation are integral to our understa...
