Halt soil salinization, enhance soil production. Happy #WorldSoilDay to all.

#WorldSoilDay is observing across the globe on___?
- 5th December

The 1st World Soil Day observed in?
- 2014

Who's birthday observing as World #SoilDay ?
- HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej

What is the theme of #WorldSoilDay 2021?
- 'Halt soil salinization, boost soil productivity'

It was mainly Gobi dessert in Aksu.
Land desertification & salinization was a major problem.
Yet, in 30 yrs, locals transformed it.
They built 768.6 million m² forest that includes shelterbelts, forest of economic values, like apples.

Another new #salinization paper out today in PNASNews! This paper represents the final portion of my dissertation. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Soil is in trouble: The #FAO & #UN estimated that 33% of soil is moderately to highly degraded through erosion, salinization, compaction, acidification, chemical pollution and nutrient depletion, hampering soils' function and affecting food production. #SaveSoil

I'm excited to attend #JASM22 next week and see some friendly faces!

If you'd like to hear me present not one but *two* talks, head to the 'Ecological responses to freshwater salinization - Day 2' session, Friday at 2 and 2:30 PM.

Our recent book chapter published in Springer Nature reports the diversity of soil processes in Mangrove forests like paludization, gleization, sulfidization, and salinization driving vital ecosystem services. Read more in link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

I'm thrilled to share a new article by a fantastic team about how freshwater salinization impacts not only the ecology, but also the biogeochemistry, of wetlands, especially understudied urban wetlands: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lo…

Coastal groundwater in DE is exploited for multiple uses and is under constant risk of salinization. In a recent paper, led by Mary Hingst, we analyzed salinization mechanisms related to complex interactions with surface water:

Are you interested in the salinization and warming of freshwater ecosystems?

If yes, we are looking for collaborators for a mesocosm experiment in Turkey!
When: Aug - Oct 2023

As always, we fund you to participate!

We are seeking a post-doc in AQUACOSM-plus for 2 years, to start in September 2022!

The focus of the post-doc is to quantify changes in phytoplankton comunity in saline standing waters subjected to salinization and eutrophication

This #pandemicbaby has fully developed & finally made its way into the world! We gathered info from 585 research articles to better understand how #salinization affects 7 #freshwater taxonomic groups around the globe.

Two team papers just dropped - the first led by Bill Hintz and Shelley Arnott showing the cost of salinization at concentrations currently considered 'safe.' PNASNews doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

'GMOs and gene editing can help prevent the erosion” that drives salinization and “make crops resistant to disease and pests,' thereby reducing the need for pesticides.

Soil salinization, excessive salt levels in soil due to poor water management among other things.
This has direct effect on the quality of food, thereby threat to food security.
More than 800 million htr of #soil already affected by salinization !!
