Only a couple weeks left to apply for this postdoc opportunity with me and @michael-gundale.bsky.social. If you're interested in biological nitrogen fixation and interactions among diazotrophs, fungi, and plants in boreal forests, then this could be for you!

Stefan Hupperts 🌲🍄🦠🏳️‍🌈@stefhupperts.bsky.social · 2mo ago

We're searching for a postdoc fellow to conduct research on biological nitrogen fixation in boreal forests! The postdoc will join a dynamic and fun research group in Umeå. Deadline Aug 27th. Reach out if you have any questions! www.slu.se/en/about-slu... @michael-gundale.bsky.social

Comment les communautés d’arbres façonnent le fonctionnement souterrain des forêts européennes

Ce qui profite aux arbres en surface ne profite pas toujours au réseau trophique souterrain, peuplé de microbes et d’une faune détritivore, herbivore ou carnivore.

theconversation.com

Il se passe énormément de choses qui échappent à nos yeux dans les sols des forêts. De la matière et de l’énergie y sont transférés en permanence entre différents organismes. Comment les essences d’arbres présentes dans une forêt influencent-elles ces processus ?

Seminar 📅 Join us on the 20th of May 13:00 BST to hear about multiple combined global change drivers and their effects on soil function and biodiversity from Rebecca Rongstock (@freieuniversitaet.bsky.social) and @irene-cordero.bsky.social (@wslresearch.bsky.social) us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Excited to share our new paper on how tree community resource economics shape soil food web multifunctionality across European forests! 🌲🌍 We quantified how energy flows through microbes, fungi, detritivores, herbivores and predators beneath the forest floor. rdcu.be/fhmF2

🎉Good to see that ecological research can still make it to the pages of @nature.com 🎉 Congratulations to Ludovic Henneron & @paulkardol.bsky.social and the whole team! 🌳Forests dominated by fast-growing, "resource-acquisitive" tree species turn out to be hotspots of soil activity rdcu.be/fhmF2

What happens beneath forests may be just as important as what we see above ground 🌲 A new study published in Nature from @paulkardol.bsky.social and colleagues shows how tree communities shape hidden underground energy flows through roots, fungi, and microbes. www.slu.se/en/news/2026...

Beautiful mossy forests in Victoria, BC! 🌳🌲 #gsb2026

I am really excited to share our new paper, published today in Nature. We show that rising atmospheric CO2 is linked to decling nutrient availability in boreal forest, with implications for the future carbon sink. Kudos to lead author @kelleyrbassett.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
