New high‑resolution soil maps for Great Britain are here. Built through AgZero+, they offer finer detail, consistent coverage and easier updates as conditions change. Will support tools like E‑Planner, help farmers benchmark soil health & improve habitat mapping. www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med... 🧪

New high-resolution soil maps will support on-farm decision-making

A new set of high-resolution soil and landscape maps for Great Britain have been developed, to support online tools used by farmers and land managers, and future research across environmental science.

I had no idea that butterflies can shout! Turn the sound up to hear this hibernating Peacock in my shed telling me off for approaching - after a quick recording I bid a hasty retreat to let it go back to sleep until the spring #nature

Swallows are incredible creatures. It's been a joy to watch the babies emerging this summer. The changing day length and reduced food supplies will trigger migration soon, though some individuals have been seen overwintering in the UK in recent years with warmer winters 🧪🐦☀️🪳🐝

The wildfires in southern Europe are off the scale, burning an area the size of Cyprus. This affects all of us; the CO2 from those fires is now in the air, and 1 million hectares of vegetation that was storing carbon has been decimated.

Really interesting research from @wouterpoortinga.bsky.social on actual public opinion of net zero policies vs perceived public opinion 🧪

Wouter Poortinga@wouterpoortinga.bsky.social · 12mo ago

I wrote about this in @theconversation.com, in which I also mention work by the Net Zero partnership between ‪@ipsosintheuk.bsky.social and @cast-centre.bsky.social, and the ‪@climatebarometer.bsky.social‬ tracker. Read about it here: theconversation.com/why-some-cli...
