Published today in @nature.com, our study shows that the #foodweb trophic structure is critical for #ecosystemfunctioning. Read it here: rdcu.be/frxEl This has been an incredibly rewarding collaboration with many amazing scientists! 🌐🧪🦑🍁🌱 @waikatouniversity.bsky.social @idiv-research.bsky.social

Das Thema [historische Hitzewelle] zur "Chefsache" zu machen, werde "das Wetter nicht ändern." Der Satz des Regierungssprechers wird in die Geschichtsbücher eingehen. Als Moment, da inmitten der Folgen der Klimaerhitzung noch immer nicht verstanden wurde, was der Klimawandel für Auswirkungen hat.

What *actually* works — right here, right now — to address climate change? Here you go. This is the result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and analysis from the Project Drawdown team.

Fortunate to be a part of this exciting study lead by Bingbing Wan in @pnas.org - Aridity drives changes in soil food web energy fluxes that explain variation in soil C storage: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🌏🌐🧪🌿🍄🦠🪱🪳🕷️

Effective conservation requires knowledge. Our recent paper led by Hendrik Mohr highlights knowledge gaps in our understanding of global change drivers on above/belowground organisms. These closely related and interacting systems require simultaneous study to untangle anthropogenic impacts 🦋🦗🕷️🪱
