We are so excited to share the results of this work! Annalise Guthrie’s hard work demonstrates how the loss and regeneration of deep roots can change the way deep soils are structured at a continental scale. This was such a joy to work on! @agu.org

Deep Root Loss and Regeneration in the Anthropocene Drive Continental‐Scale Changes in Deep Soil Structure

Deep root dynamics imposed by land-use change are modifying deep soil structure at the continental scale well below zones of tillage As deep roots disappear, structural unit size increases and ro...

Excited to see this paper out! We used NEON data to explore the relationship between fine root and soil carbon stocks. With @sr-weino.bsky.social @katerinageorgiou.bsky.social @aaberhe.com @josephtumber.bsky.social @mingzhenlu.bsky.social et al. doi.org/10.1038/s432...

Fine root and soil carbon stocks are positively related in grasslands but not in forests - Communications Earth & Environment

A positive relationship between fine root carbon and soil organic carbon stocks is well established in grasslands, particularly at greater depths, but the relationship varies across forests, based on ...

New commentary paper out this week with @gruberte.bsky.social and Sara Warix in WRR - we argue that temperature overshoot has consequences for regional hydrology and water resources that bear consideration. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Drawing of the water cycle in a landscape with and without temperature overshoot. Impacts include forest cover, glacial contributions, infrastructure, geomorphology, water use for carbon dioxide removal, groundwater depletion.

So excited for our lab at #AGU Come see Lola Klamm reveal how microbes 🦠 change soil structure and Ksat 💧(B43F-1619) and Rachel Keen explain how preferential flow 🌊 varies across space (H44B-05)! All with Pam Sullivan, Dan Hirmas, Li Li, @hooriajami.bsky.social @hydrolejo.bsky.social et al!

Do you investigate the critical zone using remote sensing as one of your tools? Consider submitting an abstract to our session @theAGU in December! tinyurl.com/mrad7me2

Projecting Whole-Critical Zone Functioning by Leveraging Remote Sensing Tools

The critical zone (CZ) extends from the top of the vegetation canopy into circulating groundwater, and is examined via diverse disciplines such as biology, geology, hydrology, geomorphology, pedology,...

You'll work with Pam Sullivan, Kamini Singha, Hoori Ajami, Li Li, Leno Flores, Daniel Hirmas, Jesse Nippert and my labgroup to help understand these interactions across multiple biomes, and you'll have post-doc colleagues at multiple institutions.
