Such a great evening! 😃 I really enjoyed my first public science communication event! Talking about the importance of soils, its animals, and the carbon cycle to kids, parents, and interested people. Hopefully sparked some interest and made clear that soil is no dirt. Also got great feedback!

Congrats to Yujia Luo on a Marie Skłodowska Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship! Her Grow C project with @ter-cemess.bsky.social at #CeMESS will trace microbial carbon allocation in soils and improve understanding of soil carbon and climate feedbacks. 🔗 cemess.univie.ac.at/news-detail/...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal families and exploration-based guilds exhibit distinct responses to long-term N, P and K deficiencies and imbalances 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... by Jenab et al. @christinakaiser.bsky.social @ter-cemess.bsky.social #PlantScience

Why do we only study soil CNP? This study shows the importance of K for root-associated AM fungi. Great work by my PhD colleague Kian Jenab 👏 @cemess.bsky.social @ter-cemess.bsky.social @univie.ac.at Let me know your thoughts on the diversity of soil nutrients in the comments! 🌱🦠
