Such a great evening! 😃 I really enjoyed my first public science communication event! Talking about the importance of soils, its animals, and the carbon cycle to kids, parents, and interested people. Hopefully sparked some interest and made clear that soil is no dirt. Also got great feedback!

⚠️ New paper out in @journalofecology.bsky.social Our study highlights the mechanisms associated with the stronger drought resistance of subordinate species in grasslands 🌱☀️ @albertocanarini.bsky.social @andreasrichter.bsky.social @sydney.edu.au @westernsydneyu.bsky.social

Enhanced below‐ground functioning is associated with higher plant resistance against drought: Implications for ecosystem functions

The results suggest that the subordinate species achieves higher drought resistance in biomass and soil functions via increased below-ground functioning. The data presented here provide a basis to ex...

New World Economic Forum Global Risks data provides a stark warning: While short-term crises dominate headlines, "Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse" jumps to the 2nd highest risk over the 10-year horizon. The long term is sooner than we think. Science-based policies via IPBES are crucial.🌍

This infographic from the World Economic Forum shows global risks ranked by severity over two time periods: 2-year (short term) and 10-year (long term). The title reads "Global risks ranked by severity" with the WEF logo in the top right corner. The chart is divided into two columns, with risks color-coded into four categories: Environmental (green), Geopolitical (orange), Societal (red), and Technological (purple). In the short term (2 years), the top risks are: Geoeconomic confrontation Misinformation and disinformation Societal polarization Extreme weather events State-based armed conflict In the long term (10 years), the ranking shows: Extreme weather events Biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse Critical change to Earth systems Misinformation and disinformation Adverse outcomes of AI technologies Both columns continue to rank risks through position 10, with environmental concerns featuring more prominently in the long-term outlook. The source is cited as "World Economic Forum Global Risks Perception Survey 2025-2026."
