๐จNew in @PNASNews ๐จ we show that mature oak trees under elevated carbon dioxide choreograph their investment into "do it yourself" and "outsourcing" to support nutrient acquisiton @BIFoRUoB @samdeolai pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.25โฆ 1/6

The changes we reveal in belowground nutrient acquisition may respond to rising atmospheric carbon dioxide, with implications for continued carbon sequestration in mature temperate forests. 5/6

Really pleased to see this paper published, led by @KaiWangCAU on the @soilplastics project. We contextuliase negative tradeoffs of agricultural plastic use with the societial benefits delivered, showing the need for "zero-leakage" rather than "zero-use".

Chapter Two of The Devil in the Details has just dropped and in it we find Dr. Kelsey under pressure to approve thalidomide. With reports coming from Europe of babies being born without limbs, the fate of America rests on Dr. Kelsey's shoulders lostwomenofscience.org/podcaโฆ

We're proud to announce that we've been awarded Athena Swan Silver in recognition of our gender equality work! ๐
A key component of our proposal is the future action plan, which lays out an ambitious 5 year vision of how we can further address gender inequity within the school.

Global assessment of additive degradation in soils incoming! Looking forward to analysing these soils and great to collaborate with so many partners to give a truly global view of how our agricultural soils process common plastic co-contaminants ๐

We started the 2nd round of our additive degradation experiment today, comparing the effect of soil types from around the world ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ป๐ณ ๐ช๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐บ ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ง๐ท All made possible by our great partners collecting & providing the soil ๐ So cool seeing the differences in soil types! ๐
