Andrea Bravo-Escobar presents innovative research at #EGU2025, advancing methods to measure microbial biomass. Key to unlocking soil carbon dynamics and enhancing climate models! 🌱🧪🌏 #SLSL#CurtinUniversity#SoilScience#Soil#HealingCountry
Nathan Wells shares his PhD research at #EGU2025, linking Australian native plant diversity to enhanced soil carbon storage. Vital insights for landscape #restoration! 🌱🧪🌏 #SLSL#CurtinUniversity#Soilscience#Soil
📢 New research identifies the main environmental drivers of soil organic carbon in Australia’s rangelands—an extensive and ecologically significant part of the continent.
📢 MIR spectroscopy characterises C fractions & organic-mineral associations, improving understanding and assessment of soil C stability. It enhances fractionation quality, strengthening soil C analysis. 🧪🌏🌱 #SoilScience @lewiswalden.bsky.social
New paper from @slsl-curtinuni.bsky.social uses a compositional transforms & multi-output CNNs to model POC & MAOC with mid-infrared spectra. A useful complement to fractionation methods for spatial analysis & monitoring 🧪🌏 #SoilScience#Spectroscopy#MachineLearning@curtinuniversity.bsky.social
Combining a compositional transform with MIR spectra & multi-output CNNs improves SOC fraction estimates. Interpreting models with SHAP boosts confidence. A more efficient way to study SOC dynamics 🧪🌏 #Soil
How to characterise the SOC fractions (the particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon ) compositionally and identify important organic and inorganic functional groups that differed by fraction simultaneously? Here is our solution. 🧪🌏#Soil
