An international team of scientists has drilled one of the oldest ice cores yet, reaching Antarctic bedrock nearly 2 miles deep to retrieve ice estimated to be 1.2 million years old.

The analysis is expected to reveal how Earth's atmosphere and climate evolved, shedding light on changes in Ice Age cycles and the role of atmospheric carbon.

The project, led by Carlo Barbante of Italy’s National Research Council, involved four years of summer drilling at Little Dome C, near Concordia Station, in temperatures averaging minus-35°C.

Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) measures the ability of soil to hold and exchange positively charged ions (cations). the total capacity of soil to retain exchangeable cations, essential for plant nutrition.

Knowing how to manage water sustainably and maintain effective soil moisture is important for plants' growth.

Here are 4 actions to preserve soil moisture👇

Fresh Litter Surfaces
In soil Fresh Litter Surfaces are hotspots of microbial activity, facilitating the formation of organo-mineral associations and serving as nuclei for soil aggregate formation.

Key processes influencing soil carbon dynamics include:
A. Higher mineralization of organic matter in coarse-textured soils, resulting in increased CO2 emissions.
B. Fungal hyphae facilitating litter-derived carbon translocation in coarse-textured soils.
C. Microbial products (EPS) gluing fine-sized minerals onto fresh litter surfaces, regardless of texture.
D. Subsequent formation of soil aggregates at the plant-soil interface.

Reducing N₂O emissions must be grounded in a sustainable nitrogen management approach. ​

Ambitious action using this approach could move the world closer to meeting its 1.5° C temperature goal, protect the ozone layer, and improve air and water quality.​

Trees play a crucial role in our urban environments 🌳.

They offer shade, lower temperatures through evapotranspiration, and enhance air quality, helping to mitigate the urban heat island effect as city temperatures continue to climb.
