#SoilOrganicCarbon (organic matter / plant and animal residues at various stages of decomposition) is one of the key indicators of #soilhealth / soil ecosystem services. But how do you measure and report SOC? We advocate that SOC density [kg/m3] is the central variable to monitor SOC dynamics [1/5]

Was great to catch up with Koen van Seijen to chat about the future of tech for monitoring soil / 1hr podcast (it will be interesting to come back to it in few yrs to see what we got wrong!). investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/2025/03/04/t... @ai4soilhealth.bsky.social

BREAKING: In recent days, the #TrumpAdministration has taken significant actions to slow U.S. #ClimateAction. They have frozen most U.S. foreign assistance, moved to abolish USAID, and withdrawn from the #ParisAgreement, among other actions. Read the statement from Ani Dasgupta: buff.ly/3WP2R28

I made long-term estimates of soil moisture at 1km for EU (quarterly 2014-2024) based on Copernicus Land Monitoring Service. I tried also producing monthly/bimonthly aggregates, but these have too many artifacts. You can assess data under CC-BY at: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... @ai4soilhealth.bsky.social

It is estimated that humans have cut down about 1/3rd of the global forests since pre-industrial times. Another 1/3rd is degraded. We tragically ignore how much nature we have consumed, as it is infinite. This is an estimate of the tree cover loss for the period 1985 to 2022: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Last 12+ months we've put an effort to try to process GLAD Landsat (1.4PB) to try to make complete consistent global cloud-free mosaics (as open data) / part of the #LandCarbonLab project. Stay tuned as we plan to release 10× more data in 2025. peerj.com/articles/18585
