📰 #TERRA made the news! The Schwäbische Tagblatt covered our TERRA Cluster of Excellence kick-off. Great to see public interest around what we're building: 7 years of research into terrestrial geo-biosphere interactions, starting now. 🌍 👉 www.swp.de/lokales/tueb...

Fantastic talk from Eva Oburger on how to sample root exudes and rhizosphere soil from the same sample. Great methodological improvements to know more about life in the rhizosphere 😊

Wonderful talk at session SSS 4.7 ogöf @egu-sss.bsky.social on the role of AMF in the intercropping systems from @unituebingen.bsky.social !!!!

Today at #EGU2026: Yihan Pu from @unituebingen.bsky.social presented on #RootWayS project about a pot. 4th pathway of #facilitation in living mulch/ #intercropping systems: the #AMF -mediated crop-crop nutrient exchange. Clear, that we've not yet exploited our potential for #sustainable #agriculture

Very curious about the outcome of our search for a common language in Geo- and Biosciences. The TERRA-challenge, task 1)

TERRA's core hypothesis on links between geo- and biodiversity and stability- sometimes called our hypothesis generation machine ;-) you can discuss with Khatab now at #EGU poster X1.25 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-...

🔥We are starting our SSS4.2 session on emerging approaches in microbial interactions with the keynote talk of @edithhammer.bsky.social Edit Hammer. Such a great opportunity to listen about soil chips and touch them live🥰 @egu-sss.bsky.social

📢 We cordially invite Soil Science community to join our session on #SoilHealth under #GlobalChange and #HumanActivities tomorrow at #EGU2026 in Vienna! 💚 We are very happy to announce Diana Vieira as an invited speaker of our session! 🌍 @egu-sss.bsky.social

Soils and carbon: TERRA's Michaela Dippold discussing microbial life and death in soils at #EGU today meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/EGU26-... @michaeladippold.bsky.social @terra-cluster.org

🌏 At the EGU today? Dot not miss our SSS division meeting at 12.30 in Room K2. This is a great opportunity to learn more about our division and the members! ✨ 🥂 We will also have an ECS networking reception tonight at 6pm on the rooftop Foyer+Foyer C #EGU #EGUSSS #soilscience #networking #ECS

Great Keynote talk from @michaeladippold.bsky.social who told us about the diversity of substrates and costs of enzymatic production by microorganisms. Questions from audience lasted long 🥳 It was really a 🔥 topic !

It was my great pleasure to present my view on opportunities and challenges to study hidden and existing microbial life in hotspots at #EGU-2026 @egu-sss.bsky.social

Second keynote in session at #EGU2026 by @nbilyera.bsky.social from @unituebingen.bsky.social: Learning that #AI is very uneducated related to #soil hotspots and that high microbial dynamic in hotspot poses serious challenges on our follow-up studies. Great examples!
