🚀 The #EROSINK project is in full throttle!
This week, we (@imibasturias.bsky.social - @csic.es) have been out in the field installing the last set of plots to study post-fire #soil organic #carbon #erosion, working closely with our amazing colleagues at @mbgcsic.bsky.social Stay tuned for results!🔥

La semana pasada, investigadores del @imibasturias.bsky.social, como parte del Grupo de Asesoramiento en Emergencias (GADE) del @csic.es , estuvimos evaluando el #riesgo de #erosión post-incendio en la zona afectada por el #incendio de #Yeres (León), que alcanzó parte del entorno de Las Médulas.

🌲🧯Forest fires are increasing. Does climate change play a role?

The short answer? Yes, it does.

The hotter, drier conditions create the vicious "climate-fire feedback loop," leading to more devastating and frequent fires. Get the long answer👉 go.wri.org/climate-fire-loop-bs

5 Graphics Explain the Climate-Fire Feedback Loop

Climate change is making forest fires worse, and vice-versa — creating a vicious "climate-fire feedback loop" that has helped fuel record burns in recent years.

🔊 Soils make noise!

Scientists have recorded the sounds of roots growing and worms moving underground.

The research, led by the University of Warwick, was even featured by the BBC!

It’s a hidden symphony of soil life!

Back from the XV Soil Meeting of the Galician division of the Spanish Society of Soil Science in #Asturias. We dug into everything from mine-affected #Cambisols to #Technosols, with some stunning #Podzols in between. Always a joy to learn in the field and connect with passionate #soil scientists
