🟥Is it safe to estimate enzymatic activity from frozen or dry stream sediments?

✅In our new paper, led by Rebeca Arias, we demonstrate that both methods are able to accurately predict enzyme activity

Great thread on our recent lab paper in @geoderma.bsky.social on how SOC fractions regulate ecosystem services in global drylands

Our new article is out in @geoderma.bsky.social! Drylands, which cover 40% of Earth’s land, store ~30% of global soil organic carbon. But how do different carbon fractions support ecosystem services under rising aridity? 🏜️
