#SoilWeekinBulgaria is taking place in the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia right now! 🪱🌱

The event will include presentations on the #SoilBiodiversity in Bulgaria, as well as a discussion on how to address regional knowledge gaps and bottlenecks 💭

💡 Did you know that nematodes are little worms highly abundant in forests, grasslands, and agricultural soils? In fact, they are among the most numerous soil organisms, with densities reaching up to 3 to 4 million per square meter. 🪱

It's #MiteMonday again! Here a picture of the oribatid mite Platynothrus peltifer, a geographically and ecologically widespread species. It dwells in forest soil and litter but can also be found in peatlands and various freshwater habitats. #Oribatida , #SoilBiodiversity

Just wrapped up my soil ecology course today. Despite my pessimism about the planet's future, I'm genuinely hopeful the next generation will do better. #SoilEcology #SoilBiodiversity

Biodiversity comes in many forms, some of which aren't always visible, but their importance in keeping ecosystems functional and healthy is clear.
