How do earthworms impact #soil processes and provide #EcosystemServices ? It depends on the type of worm. 🪱 🧪 🌍 #earthworms #ecology #SciComms #NaturalHistory #Science #Biology #Nature @ukceh.bsky.social @thegsbi.bsky.social @soilassocscot.bsky.social

Diagram showing how three different categories of earthworm (anecic, epigeic and endogeic) contribute to different soil processes and therefore ecosystem services to different degrees.

Epigeic earthworms contribute predominantly to decomposition which provides waste recycling and detoxification services. Anecic earthworms contribute predominantly to soil pore creation and provide water flow regulation services. Endogeic earthworms contribute predominantly to soil aggregate formation and provide soil structure maintenance. All types of earthworm contribute to nutrient cycling and therefore help regulate carbon and nitrogen in the soil. All earthworms also contribute to the biomass within the soil and are an important food source for many other animals.

Trees in Christchurch's parks and reserves have a replacement value of $386M. They store 90K tonnes C, sequestering 4K tonnes C each year. They intercept 165M litres of rainfall every year, reducing the burden on stormwater infrastructure. doi.org/10.26021/16387 #ecosystemservices #urbanforest

🌊💰 Mediterranean #seagrasses provide $11.6B in #EcosystemServices annually—but remain undervalued! Our new study maps their benefits, from coastal protection to carbon storage. Time to protect this natural capital! www.sciencedirect.com/sci…. #MarineConservation #MarineEcology 🧪🌍🌐

Hello BlueSky! I'm new here & looking to reconnect with others who've just moved across... I'm a researcher at the Natural History Museum, London, working on #biodiversity, #foodsecurity, #ecosystemservices, #agroecology, #agroforestry. Current project: www.educationnaturepark.o…

An alley-cropping system in autumn: rows of trees with alleys of bare soil between them. The soil is prepared for sowing the next crop. There is grassy vegetation in the tree rows. The tree leaves are just starting to turn yellow and brown and some leaves have fallen. Hills in the distance.

Ginkgo sequesters carbon & ozone, and produces oxygen from photosynthesis #EcosystemServices, but as ozone concentrations in the atmosphere increase, Ginkgo's ability to sequester ozone gets worse, water efficiency gets worse, & ability to photosynthesize gets worse (Chen et al. 2022) #2025MMM

Turning Farmland Back to Peatland: Can It Slow CO2 Emissions?

Farmers have long drained peatlands for agriculture, but the dried-out soils release vast quantities of CO2. To halt this process, new initiatives in Germany are not only rewetting peatlands but also ...

A sad indictment of a nation with a pervasive culture of human entitlement. But the Earth is not a food pantry for humankind. Its ecosystems can’t simply be commodified for profit or recreation. #rivers #riverhealth #biodiversity #ecosystemservices #ecologicalprocesses www.earth.com/news/most-am...

Most American rivers are still not properly protected

A new study reveals that most U.S. rivers lack real protection, putting clean water, wildlife, and communities at risk.

We don't spend money protecting wetlands. We save it. Coastal marshes are the flood walls we never had to build, and during Hurricane Sandy they blocked over $625 million in flood damage. #wetlands #naturebasedsolutions #ecosystemservices #floodresilience #naturalinfrastructure

🏖️ Beach access is a right, not a luxury. Our new study led by @stamatiadouv.bsky.social reveals €57M lost yearly in Greece because many #wheelchair users are excluded from the coast. Time to invest in truly inclusive beaches. 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.ma... #MarineEcology #EcosystemServices #GES4SEAS 🧪🌍🌐
