We have #LTESiteOfTheWeek going on Facebook at the moment.
So if you are a PI who works at an ECT-registered #LTE, head over there to follow us, find the #LTE you work at, & share that with your friends & family!

(We’re currently on the L-named LTEs.)
By looking at different fractions of carbon & mineralisation potential, a new paper from the BIFoR-FACE #LTE at the @unibirmingham.bsky.social has found that different tree species & seasons can affect #CarbonSequestration.

Rights of Nature - a growing movement?
We explored what Rights of Nature means, where the concept comes from, and what role ecologists can play.

2/2 Today the Electronic Rothamsted Archive complements the physical one which is constantly being updated with digital data.
Read about the time when the London @rsb.org.uk group visited the Park Grass #LTE & saw the archive bit.ly/4aJ8RNW
#InternationalArchivesDay 🌏
1/2 For #InternationalArchivesDay, we want to highlight @rothamsted.bsky.social’s archive.
Started by Sir John B. Lawes & Sir Joseph H. Gilbert, this archive contains 300,00 crop & soil samples from many experiments, including the Broadbalk & Park Grass #LTEs & from around the world!
The Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Committee has launched a call for evidence on how Government should nurture #upland farms & #landscapes.
Their goal is to understand the challenges facing upland #farmers & land managers, & how to support them.

Peatlands are powerful. Here are just a few reasons why…
1. Peatland vegetation slows the flow of rainfall which helps reduce the risk of flooding in nearby towns and villages. Peatlands only cover around 3% of the world's surface but contains more carbon than all the world's rainforests.

Predicting soil carbon sequestration after reforesting former farmland requires understanding how tree types and seasons influence fast- and slow-cycling carbon in the rhizosphere. This study investig...

What does Right of Nature mean and what role can ecologists play in the movement? We explore from a UK perspective.
The EFRA Committee has launched a call for evidence to find out about the challenges facing upland farmers and land managers, and how the Government can best support them.
