Winter wheat increases agroecosystem stability and resiliency mediated through improved #soil health. Intercropping winter wheat with squash diversifies income streams for #farmers. A diverse system also includes animals. Learn more: wp.me/pclOv9-f1

How does heavy rainfall affect soil properties & processes? In this Editors Choice, Dr. Thidarat Rupngam et al. examine how waterlogging influences enzyme activities in soils cultivated with ryegrass. Find it on Canadian Science Publishing's home page! ow.ly/iZNo50Sv2fH @csss_soils

The motto of “leave-no-trace” when #hiking and #camping is more than just packing out your garbage! Learn how you can reduce #soil compaction while enjoying nature in this #GroundedInSoils blog: wp.me/pclOv9-fj

Soil structure is a very important property for #water flow and proper aeration in #soils. Yet, it is easily subject to deterioration when stresses are applied to the soil. Read our blog post to learn more: wp.me/pclOv9-f9

Congratulations!

A study in PEI emphasizes the value of site-specific #soil testing to quantify #nitrogen mineralization potential. Learn more in this #GroundedInSoils blog post! wp.me/pclOv9-u2

Hiking, mountain biking and tenting can all have significant impacts on the soil. Just by walking, our body weight compresses the soil. Soil compaction reduces the soil porosity and increases soil bulk density. Learn what you can do here: wp.me/pclOv9-fj

Blake Weiseth's work is to evaluate different agricultural beneficial management practices for their ability to mitigate phosphorus losses in runoff water. Learn more here: wp.me/pclOv9-uc Blake Weiseth

Soil horizons differ from each other in colour, structure, texture, and many other properties. Studying the horizons in the #soil profile helps soil scientists create a picture of the #organic matter and minerals that make up soil in that location. wp.me/pclOv9-um

Modern soils developed over billions of years. While life on earth today relies on #soil, the development of the first soils relied on interactions with evolving life forms and a changing environment. Read this #GroundedInSoils blog post to learn more: wp.me/pclOv9-uo
