Greater plant diversity is positively correlated with the process of transforming nitrites and nitrates into nitrogen gas released into the atmosphere, according to a Chinese study. This discovery could contribute to planning the restoration of wetlands
Research conducted by the Beijing Academy of Sciences has defined a new framework for assessing the Microbial Carbon Pump in soil. It distinguishes between stable and non stable organic matter (that is more easily decomposed and released)
Mission Soil ambassador Matteo Mazzola will speak at Ecomondo’s States General for soil health: “We must support regeneration in opposition to agronomic simplification. On agroecology, Asia and America are doing more, but European rules can accelerate the spread of best practices”
Rising temperatures in Africa are driving plant species to spread at higher altitudes, a German study claims. But the process is too fast, and the risk of losing their habitat is growing as a result
A Swedish study shows the dynamics of this phenomenon. The process doesn’t necessarily happen where warming is greatest but, instead, where conditions are favorable for plant growth
On November 6, the Ecomondo exhibition in Rimini (Italy) will host the annual event organized by the Re Soil Foundation in cooperation with the event’s Technical Committee and the National Bioeconomy Coordination Board. Main themes are circular bioeconomy, regeneration, European policies, and ongoing projects
Climate change increases tree mortality rates, but figures are incomplete and a global estimate is hard to make. A group of researchers explains how to harmonize data
Soil sealing is a global problem affecting large urban centers. But new tools, explains the FAO, can now guide sustainable planning
When they come into contact with us, soil microbes can modulate key hormones and neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, Australian researchers explain. This is how they influence our emotional states
The event, organized by organized by the Italian Society of Agricultural Chemistry (SICA) and the University of Bologna will take place in February. Researchers can submit their contributions by December 12. The discussion will focus on sustainable agronomic strategies for the soil-plant-microbiome system
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.
