Perfect ending to a great conference. After many inspiring talks, posters, and conversations at the #SOM26, we traveled today to an Embrapa field station to see how tropical agriculture is being transformed through integrated crop–livestock–forest systems aimed at improving soil conditions.

Sometimes soils remember what we forget. 🌾 Over 40 years ago, researchers in the former GDR carried out large-scale experiments with meliorative fractional deep tillage (mFDT) — designed to loosen compacted soils and improve rooting conditions. A Thread on our new publication.

Root-Pore Interactions, the Underestimated Driver for Rhizosphere Structure and Rhizosheath Development Online now: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🔑 Takeaway: In soils, roots shape their rhizopsphere more by where they grow than by what they do to soil structure. 🌱 Insights:

Root‐Pore Interactions, the Underestimated Driver for Rhizosphere Structure and Rhizosheath Development

Using X-ray computed micro-tomography, we show that root growth preferences, rather than root-induced modifications, primarily shape rhizosphere porosity in intact soils, while rhizosheath formatio...

Brilliant tips for explaining research to non-scientists. Having to answer the "So what do you ACTUALLY do?" question at family gatherings is what got me into #SciComm in the first place - I wish this was the case for more researchers. #AcademicSky

Every year around now, I start to see grad students on social media bemoan that they’re going home for the holidays to a family that doesn’t understand their research, or what they do in general, and it breaks my heart. 🧵 🧪 #SciComm
