Microbial growth rate is a stronger predictor of soil organic carbon than carbon use efficiency - Nature Ecology & Evolution Microbial carbon use efficiency is a strong predictor of soil organic carbon stocks. Here the authors reveal that the microbial growth rate is a more reliable and informative predictor, and that model...

Soil microbes grow, respire, die. Because their biomass eventually becomes necromass, and necromass can be stabilized in soil, growth rate emerges as a powerful predictor of soil carbon: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#StopBillionaireSummer #ScienceWeek

A street scene in San Fransisco showing the Tesla dealership. Two people in labcoats stand with with their backs to the camera and raising their middle fingers to the building. The backs of their labcoats are spray painted with the words Scientist Rebellion and colorful logos. Projected on the building are the words Tesla Sucks in the Tesla font.

A bunch of scientists 🧪 🥼 are in the Bay Area this week for #GoodTrouble as part of #StopBillionaireSummer and we have warnings about billionaire #oilygarchs. Some of us brought our free speech to the local Tesla dealership last night.

The Forest Service Wants to Hear from You About its Staffing and Reorganization Plan — Outdoor Alliance Before August 26, the USDA is accepting public input on its staffing plan, in the wake of massive layoffs over the spring and summer.

Since February, the Forest Service has lost nearly 15,000 employees. Now it's planning on a reorganization, and the public has a chance to comment before the end of the month:

It was indeed a very fun and productive workshop with participants from Africa, Europe, Asia and North America!
