🌍 Earth Hour reminds us to pause and spend time with nature. At 🏡 #IPBES12, we asked attendees to share one action people can take for biodiversity this year. Watch the video and discover their ideas. 🧪 Explore #MyHourForEarth: https://www.earthhour.org/take-part/give-an-hour

Belated paper update from February: A new study by @sarawinterfeldt.bsky.social et al shows that higher plant diversity boosts microbial drought resistance and promotes soil carbon storage 🌱🦠 doi.org/10.1111/1365... @rousklab.bsky.social @journalofecology.bsky.social

Plant diversity increases microbial resistance to drought and soil carbon accumulation

We investigated how plant diversity influenced soil microbial processes during moist conditions and an experimental drought. Higher plant diversity increased below-ground plant input. This increased ...

It has been fun! 👍✨ Thanks @rousklab.bsky.social @seritafrey.bsky.social and MelKnorr

This suggests microbial trait optimisation can moderate carbon emissions, offering a simple mechanistic explanation for global observations and highlighting the need to integrate microbial dynamics into #climate models 🌍🧮

In SWaN #HarvardForest, we show that #microbes initially accelerate carbon release but then adjust their thermal traits, improving CUE and slowing SOC loss. Microbial #adaptation can buffer soils against long-term carbon loss 🔥🦠

In this new #GlobalChangeBio paper (doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70579), we investigate why #warming initially boosts soil #CO2 emissions but losses stabilize over time, limiting impact of chronic warming on #SOC stocks

Shifts in Microbial Thermal Traits Mitigate Heat‐Induced Carbon Losses in Soils

The impact of global warming on soil carbon stocks remains uncertain. While warming initially accelerates microbial decomposition of organic matter and CO2 release, long-term field studies consistent...

Last week I defended my PhD thesis 🎉 Big thanks to @frantecol.bsky.social for all the great questions, and for putting my thesis into a bigger picture! Also to everyone that made my PhD so much fun and specially to my supervisors @rousklab.bsky.social @albertbrangari.bsky.social and Lettice Hicks 🌟

We’re delighted to host a symposium on ”Ecosystem stability to global change” tomorrow @biologylu.bsky.social , including a keynote by @frantecol.bsky.social . Join us ! www.becc.lu.se/calendar/eco...

We’re back in #Abisko, for our early summer campaign! We’re maintaining a series of #fieldexperiments that simulate different aspects of #arctic #climate #change, including #shrub #encroachment and arctic #greening, accelerated nitrogen cycling, summer #drought, and #warming! Stay tuned!

Fantastic news!! Congratulations! #MossJourneyContinues now with #Succession thrown in the mix! Looking forward to the collaboration (between us and between moss and #Cyanobacteria)
