- Building on pioneering, prize-winning work on the use of soil archives published in Science and Environmental Science & Technology (2nd best science paper, 2010) the authors generated a ‘buzz’ in Denmark, where Professor H.J. Kolos (clinical microbiology) (not involved in the study), described it as “exciting” (http://sciencenordic.com/manure-can-spread-antibiotic-resistance). Highlighting the importance of soil archives (Dolfing and Feng, Nature Reviews in Microbiology 2015) the work is used to build the case for preservation of the Askov Long-Term experiment and associated soil archive (Professor Bent Christensen, personal communication; reference on request). Resulted in an invited presentation at 125 years Askov long-term experiments festivities/symposium.
