Severe drought is worsening the humanitarian and environmental crisis in Southern Africa, and its impact on agriculture is leading to acute food insecurity.
We are monitoring the situation with @ACMAD_org, @G20_GEOGLAM and other partners.

Unleash your creativity! Super excited by this opportunity to get some really novel and innovative thinking about how we can solve nature and climate problems with the power of AI. Note one track specifically on alternative proteins. Get your thinking caps on and apply!

First-of-its-kind global analysis
Size, distribution, and vulnerability of the global soil inorganic carbon.
Outstanding work by @YuanyuanHuang18 ++

"Permanganate-oxidizable C" or "POXC" is widely used as a measure of "labile" or "active" C. However, incorrect or simply unknowable redox assumptions prevents calculation of C oxidized by permanganate:

Claims of "mg C/kg soil" are not possible. A thread

The African GHG Budget published, led by @yolandi_ernstagupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…
The African continent is now estimated to be a net carbon source to the atmosphere from both its land systems (e.g., savannas, forests) and human activities (e.g., use of combustion fuels).
Great #openaccess study @ejsoilscience 👏 !
Each % unit increase in SOC:
+ 16% maize 🌽 yield
+ 15 mm water storage capacity
"about 2/3 of the yield increases in response to SOC change could be ascribed to associated changes in soil physical properties"
