Australian research has highlighted the correlation between the complexity of noise produced by invertebrate communities and the level of soil biodiversity
A new Chinese model based on bacterial analysis allows to estimate changes in grasslands. By 2100, soil acidity will decrease especially in North-East Asia, Africa and Oceania
Drought leads to a prolonged lowering of river levels in the Amazon causing local communities to become isolated, a study by the Autonomous University of Barcelona has found. This problem affects more than 50% of indigenous villages
A circular use of phosphorus could reduce the environmental and economic risks of its dispersion, a report by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim explains
In some Asian countries, says research, the frequency of sudden drought events has increased from 20 to 80 per cent in just two decades. But the phenomenon is now global
A new study revises estimates for miombo forests upwards. Carbon from these ecosystems in Mozambique could be 2.2 times higher than previously assumed
A Chinese study reported an increase in atmospheric phosphorus flux in a global annual average temperature range of 20°C to 23°C. With potential consequences for agriculture
In the first decade of the century, the Amazon experienced a sharp decline in deforestation, explains an international study. But the economic benefits for the indigenous people have been limited. This is why new initiatives are needed
The world’s forests, an American study notes, absorb between 3.5 and 4 billion tonnes of carbon each year. Equivalent to “nearly half of the carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels between 1990 and 2019.”
A Chinese study found that mixed forests are able to store a higher amount of carbon due to the greater accumulation of wood debris
It’s beneath our feet but we never think about its value. We tread on it, we mistreat it, but a healthy, fertile soil means life. It’s time to take care of the soil and each one of us can and must make a difference.
