Orly has recently travelled to our collaborators in Brazil to collect soils for his project.
As part of the TilSoilC project, which investigates the relationship between tillage and soil organic matter dynamics, Orly and Yasmine (a UNIL master's student working on the project) recently traveled to Brazil to collect intact soil cores and bulk soil. Their work was conducted on a long-term tillage experiment located in ElDorado, Rio Grande do Sul, within a subtropical climate zone.
This initiative marks a valuable collaboration between researchers from the Soil Management and Low Carbon Agriculture (SOMALCA) group at the Universidade Federal de Rio Grande do Sul and the SOIL research team. Together, they aim to deepen our understanding of sustainable soil management practices. A huge thank you to our collaborators Deborah Pinheiro and Cimélio Bayer as well as Antonny and Junior!
