On the relationship between root economics and plant hydraulic traits Sanaei et al. @anvarsanaei.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Last week #root #science went to Como 🌱🇮🇹 Srijna Saxena, Michelle ter Huurne and Dr Anvar Sanaei joined #WoodyRoots9 @woodyroots.bsky.social to share fresh work on root economics, drought responses and plant hydraulics.

This week, we had a great retreat with our PhDs, Postdocs & PIs in Leipzig @idiv-research.bsky.social Apart from sharing our progress, we hosted a session on extreme events with guest speakers @sebastian-sippel.bsky.social & @miguelmahecha.bsky.social Thanks for the insightful talks & discussion!

🌱 #Fieldwork days at The Jena Experiment - @jena-experiment.bsky.social! Scanning roots with a minirhizotron, tracking seasonal changes & traits, plus plant surveys & soil checks. Led by PhD candidate Srijna Saxena with support from Tom Künne. Can’t wait to see what the data reveal! #RootTraits

With the fieldwork season ahead, we assembled for our #spring retreat, sharing progress and plans 🌞 Right on time, we celebrated the publication of a videopaper on our JenaTron experiment, manipulating soil 🪱 and plant 🌱community history, led by Anna-Maria Madaj dx.doi.org/10.3791/67496
