Are soil & vegetation responses to increased/decreased precipitation coupled? You can find out just before lunch today at EGU26! Stefano Manzoni presents our cool and super collaborative research project funded by @bolincentre.bsky.social

Little break from the parental leave silence: Check out our new study led by the amazing @danielaguasconi.bsky.social! We found that integrating microbial diversity information with abiotic drivers enhances the prediction of respiration rates in managed Scots pine forests.

Happy to see that our paper on the role of microbial community composition on decomposition rates in forest soils is finally out! Written with @mpalla.bsky.social, @tijanamartin.bsky.social and @manzonilab.bsky.social for @holisoils.bsky.social 💛 available here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Reminder! The #HoliSoils webinar on the integration of microbial processes into SOC models starts today at 2 pm CEST.

Elisa found that respiration rates scale as the product of organic carbon and microbial biomass, with minimal effects of microbial diversity. This is a cool result, supporting the use of nonlinear kinetics to interpret data at small scales (lab incubation). Great @holisoils.bsky.social team effort!

Scientific identity crisis: "So, what do you do?" A simple question, but I struggle to answer after changing fields several times. Am I a vegetation modeller? Soil modeller? Does that then make me a land surface modeller? But my postdoc isn't like that, I'm analysing soil respiration datasets (1/2)

🚨 #AGU2024 alert! Come check out work from the @manzonilab.bsky.social with #HoliSoils data. @danielaguasconi.bsky.social presents our joint work on the relationships between microbial diversity and soil respiration in managed forests. Starts at 4:10 pm in room 149A-B, session B34A. See you there!

Can we disentangle climate and microbial diversity effects on soil respiration? Daniela Guasconi and I showed our first insights from the #HoliSoils project at the #BolinDays organised by @bolincentre.bsky.social). Exciting two day event with climate scientists from different disciplines!

I'm learning about non-linear multiple regression and mixed effects models in #R. What are your preferred packages and functions? Any recommended reading?

This week I attended the fantastic #HoliSoils annual project meeting in Freising. The wonderful people, two site visits, posters and keynote presentations gave a great overview of the sites, management/disturbance types, and tremendous amount of measurements. Looking forward to analysing the data!

Here's what I do according to my scholar profile. Something with models, carbon and water, soils and plants. With my new project, to be followed by the link with microbial diversity. Exciting times :)

My beautiful new workplace at Stockholm University! The building looks a bit dark in the morning, but what a warm welcome I received. It felt great to meet everyone in person. I can't wait to submit my PhD thesis and prepare to move our family to Sweden over the next few weeks.
