We're having this very fun science outreach project where we want to create awareness of the wonders of the world beneath our feet. The soil is alive!! You find us on our youtube channel at www.youtube.com/@Soilwatching #soilchip #microworld #biodiversity #microscopy #underground #hiddenworld

Tumbling between denial, rubbles and hope - Lund botanical garden's interactive exhibition of the Broken Greenhouses touched me deeply. Based on the UN's climate scenarios for 2100, created by MBigert and LBergström, involving amongst others my dear BECC colleague matsbjörkman. Really worth a visit!

Lund's Sustainability Week was a lot of Soil this year! Soil microscopy at the botanical Garden and Skylle, nanoplastics, and the documentary "Planet Soil" at a pretty full KinoLund with panel discussion afterwards. Thanks a lot all wonderful people who made this all happen!:) @BECC @Soilchipgroup

Listening tip (In Swedish): Varför vill svampar bryta ner människoskapade material av plast? Det och mycket annat får du svar på i detta avsnitt av Vetenskapsradion där @edithhammer.bsky.social, lektor i biologi och koordinator för BECC, dyker upp cirka 15.40 minuter in i programmet:

Wann entsteht in Solarparks ein Mehrwert für die Biodiversität? Welche Einflüsse haben die Modulkonstruktionen auf die Entwicklung wertvoller Lebensräume für Pflanzen und Tiere? Auf diese Fragen gibt es bisher kaum evidenzbasierte Antworten. (1/6)
