New paper out in Soil Biology and Biochemistry! “Eco-evolutionary controls of microbial extracellular enzyme production in soils” doi.org/10.1016/j.so... Work on this paper began 5 years ago when I first started my PhD and it has taken many turns since then. Very happy to see it out eventually! 😊

New Nature Ecology & Evolution paper out today @natecoevo.nature.com! We find that models deviate from observations in the weighting of important soil processes. This mismatch has important implications for developing soil carbon models and improving predictions of soil carbon fate in the future 🌍

Soil microbes grow, respire, die. Because their biomass eventually becomes necromass, and necromass can be stabilized in soil, growth rate emerges as a powerful predictor of soil carbon: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Varmare och torrare somrar gör skogarna mer sårbara för granbarkborrar. En ny studie av bl a Caroline Greiser, Stockholms univ, visar att angreppen höjer temperaturen i drabbade områden. Men lövträd pekas ut som lösningen på uppvärmningseffekten. @bolincentre.bsky.social www.svt.se/nyheter/loka...
