Good news! ✨ The deadline has been extended – you can still submit your abstract and secure the early-bird rate. Look forward to inspiring keynote speakers and join us for an excursion to the Exploratorium Schorfheide-Chorin! 🌱🌿 Share the news with your scientific community. #BE20conference #🌐

Spent last few days attending the annual assembly of Biodiversity Exploratories (@bexplo.bsky.social) as an advisory board member. The quality of science produced by this long-term research programme is truly impressive. If you act quickly, you can still register for #BE20Conference to learn more

⏳ 1 week left to apply! Passionate about #plant #ecology and curious about the functional diversity of #root #exudates and their effect on species occurrence and ecosystem functioning in grasslands? We’re seeking a #PhD researcher who loves both lab work and data analysis.

Joana Bergmann@joanabergmann.bsky.social · 6mo ago

We are searching for a PhD student! Are you curious and excited to unravel how #root #exudation varies between species, how this relates to the root economics space and if and how it explains ecosystem functioning and species distribution in #grasslands?

The BE20 Conference in Berlin, June 8-12, invites biodiversity researchers from around the world to discuss challenges in long-term and large-scale biodiversity science, and foster interdisciplinary collaborations. www.biodiversity-exploratories.de/en/be20/

A new fossil fungus discovered in Scotland shows evidence of plants and fungi sharing nutrients to survive on land. The fossil, more than 400 million years old, offers hints about the origin of one of the greatest partnerships in the history of life on Earth. www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

We are excited to have @janaduchoslavova.bsky.social with us here @zalf.bsky.social! In her MSCA postdocoral fellow project she will investigate fine-root variation in respect to plant clonality. Quite an in-depth study on morphology, anatomy and uptake/transport. First results to be expected soon!

Jana Duchoslavová@janaduchoslavova.bsky.social · 9mo ago

My project, HiddenFun, at ZALF (Germany), started in September, and I have been very busy since arriving here. All of these experimental plants have now been harvested, and I am looking forward to comparing the transport and acquisitive functions of their roots using various measures!

Do you study effect of disturbance on large scales? Use Belowground Persistence Types of plants! We hope that they will help us to understand better ecosystem resilience than only plant traits.

Charles University, Faculty of Science@sciencecharles.bsky.social · 10mo ago

🌱 New framework in plant ecology! Researchers propose 6 Belowground Persistence Types (BPTs) — classifying plants by woodiness, clonality, and resprouting ability. This whole-plant view reveals how species persist after disturbance and could reshape how we study resilience. 🔗 buff.ly/LgaPglR (MK)
