Less than 3 weeks to go until the UK release of my debut book THE WORLD BENEATH OUR FEET! And only a month later, it'll hit bookshops all across the US and Canada 🥰 Reserve your copy today, and come join me on an awe-inspiring journey into the mysterious world of soil! 🪱🧪 #TheWorldBeneathOurFeet

A photograph of the hardcover copy of my book 'the world beneath our feet' laying on some brown autumn leaves on the ground.

Weekend field visit to the Tourbières de Prénovel (#Jura, France) – a textbook example of how substrate permeability governs landscape patterns. Impermeable layers retain water, forming peat bogs , while permeable zones drain quickly, favoring dry forested ridges.

🌵✨ When we say biocrusts are "the coral reefs of the desert," we mean it—just look at these vibrant colors! 🟠🟡🔵🔴 They're also reef-like in their roles stabilizing soil, reducing erosion, retaining moisture, and fixing nitrogen 🌿

I am a little late for #worldsoilday but here is my all time favourite: Latossolo Vermelho perférrico (Hyperferritic Ferralsol?), developed from itabirite - a hematite-quartz metamorphic rock that gives name to my hometown. These soils have up to 95% of Fe oxides and oxyhydroxides!! (1/3)
