Hey soil friends🤎

European Commission Horizon Europe🇪🇺 2024 SOIL research funding calls open tomorrow, 8th May🥳

Among topics you’ve soil erosion, biodiversity, carbon and soils in Africa… you’ll be spoilt for choice🤩

Great ideas?It’s your moment😎🤓

Details➡️ec.europa.eu/info/funding-t…

The power of fungi🤍❤️🍄 #SoilBiodiversity

Is #ThrowbackThursday #TBT still a thing?🤔

2017, when we packed, loaded and shipped thousands of soils from 🇪🇺 #LUCAS18 survey for lab analysis.. memories, sigh🥲🤎

🇪🇺🤎EU_ScienceHub's European Soil Data Centre has a new look💇🏼🤩

Check it out➡️esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu

There you'll find all you need to know about soils in Europe and beyond!!!

Globally 226 million people are exposed to Arsenic (As) contamination from drinking-water or food. in EU 🇪🇺 EU_ScienceHub assess the As in topsoil and 98% of samples are less than 20 mg per kg. Just few hotspots due to fertilization and mining activities. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
