According to Brazilian research, the valuable black soil found in parts of the Amazon retains unique characteristics that promote the rapid recovery of deforested land
International study shows how, at one meter depth, soil gives up more than one-third of its pyrogenic carbon after experiencing a 4°C temperature rise in less than five years
According to a Canadian research, silicon, a widespread and cheap element, helps plants fight clubroot. But it also helps them withstand drought and extreme heat
The PrevisIA system uses artificial intelligence to rapidly analyze satellite imagery detecting critical variables that can promote deforestation. “Its predictive ability is fantastic,” according to its creators
By combining old deforestation survey methods, U.S. Geological Survey researchers have developed a new large-scale representation which increases efficiency and accuracy. The hope for the future is real-time mapping
Alaska, which has always struggled with cases of oil contamination, may find new solutions in phytoremediation. According to researchers at the University of Fairbanks, grasses and fertilizers shape microbial communities responsible for disposing of toxic substances
A study highlights the potential of ecoacoustics: by listening to ecosystem sounds, it is possible to monitor and restore forest soil health. And better assess the effectiveness of interventions
There is more than just the force of nature behind the widespread building collapses experienced during earthquakes in Turkey. Poor construction practices and bad choices in fact foster soil fragility
Bacteria isolated in contaminated soils appear to be more antibiotic resistant, says a study from New Zealand. A phenomenon that is still unclear and worrisome because of the risks to human health
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.
