Attended the @bexplo.bsky.social conference last week. Presented my work on Variation in plant functional traits, part of @formula-research.bsky.social as a poster, at the conference. @joanabergmann.bsky.social @elsaelsam.bsky.social @janaduchoslavova.bsky.social @nahidrasa.bsky.social
🌾🌳News SP4 – @azmisheriff.bsky.social is currently focusing on the establishment of a growth chamber experiment investigating plant–mycorrhiza interactions using different crop and forb species under contrasting soil treatments. #FORMULA #Agroforestry #Mycorrhiza
#GoBelowground course is over! Huge thanks to all participants and lecturers! We hope you made it home safely and found the course useful. And also big thanks @czechacademy.bsky.social and @ibotcz.bsky.social for their support. Until next time! #ExFuMo #functional #morphology #clonality #roots
It was an amazing lab science day at SGS! As a person pretty new to the topic, it was interesting to get insights on topics like root exudates, mycorrhizal colonization, wetlands and a bit of statistical approaches on ecological studies. I encourage all research groups to do such events more often.
Joana Bergmann@joanabergmann.bsky.social · last yr.We did a #SustainableGrasslandSystems group internal mini conference last week. It was super interesting and fun and I am just deeply grateful to work with such amazing people! among others are @elsaelsam.bsky.social @azmisheriff.bsky.social @milosbielcik.bsky.social
Next up at #rhizosphere6: @elsaelsam.bsky.social takes us on a journey about the extensions of the Root Economics Space! 🤩
SP4's greenhouse experiment at @zalf.bsky.social wrapped! 🌿 Studying root, leaf & hyperspectral traits across crops, phytometers & arable weeds - grown with or without mycorrhiza. Now analyzing individual plants and their leaves and roots to uncover trait variation. #formula #agroforestry
@nahidrasa.bsky.social @zalf.bsky.social expertly presenting her results on Silicon and Calcium dynamics in managed grasslands of the @bexplo.bsky.social.
Seminar: "Fungi and Bacteria in Agricultural Systems: From endosymbionts to metacommunities" Dr. Greg Bonito is an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences at Michigan State University. 🍄 🌳 4pm, Thursday February 20th In person: ALS 4001 On Zoom: beav.es/cs2
Experimental setup: done! Fingers crossed now for all the little seedling friends to grow strong. First PhD experiment of @azmisheriff.bsky.social @zalf.bsky.social very well started! Thanks @elsaelsam.bsky.social, @karlabarfuss.bsky.social, Grit and Tilo for support!
