Fieldwork in the Tatras! We collected peat cores and installed water table and temperature loggers to investigate how climate extremes shape the resilience of upper treeline ecosystems. Funded by the @ncn.gov.pl ; project PI: Michał Słowiński @calliergon.bsky.social @igsopas.bsky.social

After a fantastic conference in Montpellier with @mebconf.bsky.social, where we shared #MIRECLIM results, we’re back in the field on our peatlands. Blooming cottongrass, cranberries, and stunning peatland views remind us why we love this work. And pesticide-free cereal field, simply beautiful!

👉🔬Tomorrow, Polish scientists will be protesting in front of the Polish parliament. We are calling for fair salaries and proper funding for research that strengthens our country and global science. #3procentnanauke

A good end to the year for Mireclim! A paper has just been published that highlights the role of peatlands as climate-change refugia in Central Europe and the importance of microclimate. It is part of the special issue *Climate Change Refugia Conservation* in *Conservation Science and Practice*.

💧🌱 Got #peatland microclimate data? We need you! The MEB Peatland Initiative calls for contributions to build the first global synthesis of peatland microclimates. 📅 Submit by Oct 31, 2025 👉 Details: drive.google.com/file/d/1JPlv... @mebconf.bsky.social

Heather in bloom, the buzzing of bees and bumblebees… autumn is just around the corner… #peatlands @mireclim.bsky.social @calliergon.bsky.social

We collected some peat cores for physico-chemical analyses. Our #Mireclim sites are very diverse. And the last photo – that used to be a Tomst logger. Looks like the animals had a party. Again 🙂 @igsopas.bsky.social @calliergon.bsky.social @aghalas.bsky.social

We cordially invite you to join the Peatland group within the MEB-network!

The word is out officially, now: SoilTemp has finished its transformation into 'The MEB-network' - a fully-fledged research network that goes far beyond just being a database. And boy, does that make me proud! Let me show you all the ways you can get involved here: the3dlab.org/2025/05/31/s...

Another field trip behind us! This time, we retrieved our 1-year tea bags (@TeaBagIndex) and replaced them with a fresh set. Nature treated us to the blooming of **Ledum palustre** and **Eriophorum vaginatum**—a truly picturesque time of year!🐍 @calliergon.bsky.social @igsopas.bsky.social

First field trip this year, checking and maintaining equipment and reading data. Unfortunately, we start this year with worse moisture conditions than last year. If last year at the end of the summer on some sites the ground water dropped to -80 cm, I don't know how it will be this year...

Research stays in Poland: the open call for the Ulam Nawa programme, coordinated by NAWA, is open until 12 May. The programme enables researchers to come to Poland for a period of 6 to 24 months. You can find more information here: nawa.gov.pl/en/scientist... #scholarphip #research
