Chinese investigation shows how microbes play a relevant role in countering desertification through their ability to manage essential soil nutrients
According to a U.S. study, cyanobacteria or “blue-green algae” can be used to produce a biofertilizer suitable for iron-poor soils, thus turning into a valuable natural resource for farmers
Brazilian study highlights how the use of increased biodiversity of reintroduced species in restoration areas limits the colonization of invasive species
Airborne microplastics latch onto tree leaves, explains a Japanese study. In this way, forests act as sinks thereby limiting their uptake by humans
This is supported by an Australian study: in protecting biodiversity it is better to target smaller but more at-risk areas. The goal is to achieve greater convenience and better results
In Southeast Asian peatlands, man-made channels to drain soil contribute to carbon leakage into the atmosphere, research says
Combination of spring and summer irrigation “reduces the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events by 6.5 days and 1°C,” according to a Chinese study
The Knowledge Hub is an initiative implemented as part of the European Prepsoil project with the goal of building a multilingual online library to aggregate soil knowledge by engaging the communityby
An experiment shows that in peatlands all organic soil components decompose more rapidly when temperatures are higher
Subsidence, or the lowering of the land surface due to the removal of material from underground, impacts 25 percent of the Planet’s population, U.S. researchers have found
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.
