Periodical cicadas influence food webs and N cycling, but how do they impact soil C fluxes? Emergence holes are ~1 cm in diameter but can be spatially extensive. We investigated how the 2021 #BroodX emergence holes impact C fluxes in the eastern US. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… 1/

Founded to improve the process of growing specialty mushrooms, @Myco_Logic originated in a microbiology lab at Kennesaw State. After earning honors at the @FarmBureau #AgInnovationChallenge last weekend, the future is bright for this small business.

With help from an undergraduate student, KSU professor Sarah Guindre-Parker has published findings that point to adult starlings, a small breed of birds, doing the heavy lifting of feeding and protecting their babies. @KSUCSM

In 1993 at age 11, my Christmas wish was for a ticket to see the world: a subscription to @NatGeo. I never imagined any work of mine could grace its pages. Today my mom bought out the bookstore in Oklahoma, and sent these pics. What a journey! Grab a copy to learn #WhatKillsTrees
