🧵 1/ My first school room in #nature was a loose rock in a dry stone wall: cronenburg.net/naturematchcuts

For many years I missed some species of that #soilLife until I built a box for making photos. Home to #woodlice and their roommates to show people the adventures happening in #compost and being able to photograph better. At irregular intervals, I'll take you on a tour, as for all things nature without #CW.*

Inside a brown flower box: a big part is covered with dead chickweed plants Under these plants I place fresh food like salad, tomate, apple or potato peels. Next to it a mix of flat stones, salad and a tomato slice. The flower box is placed in absolute shade (I open a shutter for photographing) and kept humid. It is home to soil life, similar to that found in compost heaps. Because space is limited, I have to keep adding soil and releasing some of the soil onto the compost heap, otherwise the animals reproduce so rapidly that some of them become cannibalistic.
The right part of the flower box showing the stones, salad, a tomato slice and some chickweed seedlings. The stones are placed loosely layered for giving place to the animals. And I don't disturb too much when I lift one up to take a photo of the life underneath it.

Forest #trees and #microbes choreograph their hunt for a balanced diet under elevated CO2 birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/for

"In conditions mimicking a future atmosphere, 180-year-old #EnglishOaks traded-off do it yourself ways to access nutrients with outsourcing to #soil microbes... a 63% increase in the release of a cocktail of small organic molecules early in spring and autumn, which prime soil microbes to release nutrients... a 17% increase in the amount of symbiotic root-associated #fungi in autumn"

A small grey #woodlouse on fertile #soil, a true member of nature’s clean-up crew. These tiny, ruffled creatures prefer to go about their work undisturbed, and when threatened, they have a quirky defense mechanism playing dead.
Woodlice play a crucial role in #composting by breaking down decaying organic matter, turning larger pieces into smaller fragments that microbes can further decompose. Their burrowing helps aerate the compost, improving oxygen flow for microbial activity, while their waste contributes valuable nutrients to the soil. In short, woodlice accelerate decomposition and enhance compost health, making them essential allies in creating rich, fertile soil.

Something truly #precious on our planet: fertile #soil made from solid mature cow dung #manure, resting in the railings beneath willow trees and a towering cyclopean wall. Nettles, dandelions, sorrel, and Lincolnshire spinach thrive in this rich, nurturing earth.
Last year, we spread a few tractor loads of aged manure from the road above. The location seems perfect for composting situated in the semi-shade under the trees, which shed their leaves in autumn, providing natural protection to the compost throughout the winter and food for the earthworms in spring.

Ranching and farming have eroded almost all the soil in the Alps.

Grazing livestock and farming over the past 4000 years have rapidly accelerated the rate of soil loss in the Alps, jeopardising the ecosystem and putting the mountains at risk of further erosion.

Life on the Moon?

#Soil on #Moon might sustain life

Researchers from University of Hong Kong developed technology to extract #water from #lunar soil & use it to convert carbon dioxide into #oxygen & #chemical #fuel

The #research could “potentially open new doors for future deep space exploration” because it could mitigate the expensive costs needed to bring essential resources such as water to the Moon.

A Belgian company unveils a breakthrough process to decontaminate soil.

The head of Haemers Technologies claims to have developed a method that eliminates forever chemicals (PFAS) by heating soil with an oxidation technique.

He aims to eventually offer his solution worldwide.
