Peatlands urgently need to be restored for UK to meet emissions targets
Peat restoration is an important nature-based solution that can mitigate climate change and will be an essential part of reaching the UK’s legally binding emissions targets.

Awesome paper about the central role of #soil texture on ecosystem water & #climatechange! It magnificantly shows that, although vegetation-atmosphere exchanges are driven by atmospheric conditions and mediated by plant adjustments, their fate is ultimately dependent on the soil
#HowWeAreConnected
Yeterday, our paper on the role of soil texture on ecosystem transpiration limitation was published in the last issue of Nature. Interested by a short summary? That's here 👉

When is a soil too dry for plants to take up water?
The hydraulics of sandy soils make their ecosystems more sensitive to soil drying.

Published a couple months back before joining this platform. Microplastics = micropores, which may boost physical stability but also provide a microbial habitat where it’s probably bad news. We just started a new @ukri.org project to explore more. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Microplastics alter soil structural stability as quantified by high-energy moisture characteristics
Microplastics (MiPs) can potentially influence soil structural stability, with impacts likely dependent on their chemistry, concentration, size, and d…
