Functional Ecology Lab at Uni. York, UK
@func-ecol-lab.bsky.social
Research group at the University of York, UK, focussing on functional ecology of terrestrial systems. Working on soil microbial and mesofaunal ecology, biogeochemistry, and the ecology of cryptogams, mainly in alpine, wetland, and forest ecosystems

Beauty and complexity in the forests of the Jura
Micro topography inducing thermal variation at the landscape scale. How will this influence the thermal sensitivity of soil enzymes?
There are 3 new papers from the Peatland team: Using testate amoebae to monitor #peatlands & #restoration bit.ly/47CeW0X How an LED torch monitoring #carbon exchange can be used in dark conditions bit.ly/4lQN0K8 Different management types affect the #vegetation composition bit.ly/47Rhs3e 🌏
The final version of the book should be available late next week (probably Aug 14th). I will let you know here when you can get the final paperback hardcover and eBook version!
Martin A. Nuñez@martin-nunez.bsky.social · last yr.Just got the final proofs of my book💓 Available on Amazon worldwide next week Very exciting! I’ve packed into it everything I’ve learned about writing and publishing over the past 20 years I really hope it helps many jump over the writing and publishing barriers💪
Happy #BogDay. The most misunderstood ecosystems on our planet have been ridiculed, drained, burned, and destroyed throughout modern history. These water purifiers, carbon keepers, storytellers, and beautiful places deserve our respect, today and every day.
Beautiful bog woodlands of the Cairngorms. New surveys and experiments to reveal the functional diversity of these special places is now under way. We urgently need to better value these habitats and understand their sensitivity to climate change.
Remnants of woodland in NW Lancs offer calm and cool in the recent extreme heat. More connectivity and open access would benefit all
@blindboyboatclub.bsky.social enjoyed the petrichor session… if you ever want to chat on soil ecology, and why soil organic matter is the most precious thing on Earth, drop me a line
Thrilled to announce our webinar series: 🌱📈 Quantifying Ecology 📈🌱 We are collaborating with our SIG friends to bring you quantitative methods in different ecological contexts. Kicking off with Dr @jamesaorr.bsky.social and @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social on 5th August. More details to come!
Congrats to Zheng Fang on his latest PhD paper. This one shows that #microplastics can reduce the toxicity of salinity to #earthworms and that salinity is a more significant environmental challenge to earthworms than microplastics. authors.elsevier.com/c/1lEy415DSl...

Update! @nadi-mi-ar.bsky.social & MSc Silje Steine @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social have now set up plots & OTCs, prepared and sowed seeds of 8 lowland species into the alpine, with/without warming & neighbours. Excited to see results over the summer!! #ITEX #ProudSupervisor #ProfLife #PhDLife 🍃🏔️🌐🌍📏🧪
