Forest biodiversity experiments test how tree species richness improves the productivity & functioning of forests. After 30 years, there are now 45 experiments worldwide! A new synthesis on 30 years of research: Liu et al. 2026: doi.org/10.1038/s443... #TreeDivNet #BEF-China #MultiTroph

Wie lassen sich Europas #Agrarlandschaften so wiederherstellen, dass die #Ökosysteme und auch die #Gesellschaft profitieren? Forschende haben Empfehlungen für eine sozial inklusive Umsetzung der neuen EU-Verordnung veröffentlicht. Mehr: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html...

New study on arthropod declines @natecoevo.nature.com 🪲 In two time series @jena-experiment.bsky.social & @bexplo.bsky.social we show how community (dis)assembly underpins local biomass declines. It mostly boils down to species loss, with identity losing relevance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hey plant guys. Just remind you that wild bees are sleeping now. Or is climate change pushing you to flower?

Dominique Gravel from University of Sherbrooke explained how to predict the effect of species loss on ecosystem functioning in complex systems. #redundancy vs #complementarity. What a pity, he could not be with us in person!

Georg Albert, our synthesis postdoc, shiws how species interactions shape (multi) functions in the BEF-China experiment.

Freiburger Doktorand*innen Alessandro Mainardi & Claudia Viganò klettern in #Ecuador in die Baumkronen, um das „geheime Leben“ tropischer Wälder zu erforschen. Dabei untersuchen sie ökologische Mechanismen & erste Auswirkungen des Klimawandels. ufr.link/regenwald-ecuador #Forstgenetik #Klimawandel

The start of a hopefully successful week of collaboration and research exchange 🔥 at our joint conference of #TreeDi 🌳and #MultiTroph 🐜🪲🕷 at the #idiv, Leipzig.

Helge Bruelheide @idiv-research.bsky.social uses Confucius show how learning wisdom.

Excellent keynote talk by Yi Li showing eg that multidiversity is more important in forests than in grasslands @treedi.bsky.social

@entomassi.bsky.social explains how tree diversity influences parasitism of bees and wasps using long-term trap-nesting data in BEF China.

We also visited the experimental fields at IRTA Mas Badia, where we were able to see the #LivingLabs and the experiments currently being carried out. On our way to #BaixEmpordà, we visited Fructícola Empordà orchards and Mooma’s facilities 🍎🍷

Over two days, we exchanged updates on the project’s progress and worked collaboratively across the different work packages, covering #research, cooperation with #farmers, #communication, and much more 😍🍏

This week, the partnership of the #EUproject RESTPOLL 🐝 @restpoll.bsky.social came together to share knowledge and experiences during the Annual Meeting in #Barcelona.

RestPoll is today learning from IRTA Institut de Recerca i Tecnologia Agroalimentaries in Catalunya about their research about sustainable food production 🐄🍓🍇🤠

@uni-freiburg.de explains RestPoll members the Nagoya protocol and it's implications.

Wildbienen, Hummeln und Schmetterlingen fehlt Lebensraum. Auch das Ziel der EU-Biodiversitätsstrategie, den Anteil naturnaher Flächen in der Landwirtschaft auf 10 % zu erhöhen, reicht nicht aus. Das zeigt eine neue Studie in Science mit Beteiligung der #UniFreiburg. ufr.link/bestaeuber-lebensraum

We are starting our group retreat to work on overarching group goals, communication and connections to other researchers and stakeholders.

„Wildbienen sind die Versicherung unserer Ernten“, sagt Prof. Alexandra-Maria Klein in unserem Interview zum heutigen #Weltbienentag. Neben #Honigbienen sich #Wildbienen die wichtigsten Bestäuber von Obst und Gemüse und sorgen für deutlich bessere Erträge. Mehr dazu: ufr.link/weltbienentag-klein

Toller #Krautschau Auftakt in Freiburg heute. Vom Mastkraut bis zum Götterbaum und manche Teilnehmer habe alle Krautschabzeichen bekommen und Samentüten ergattert 😊

Renegate Ringelblume (Calendula officinalis) mit Grüßen aus Bochum #Krautschau #WildeKräuter

Schön wild, die wilde Malve .. eine besondere #Ritzenschönheit PS: haltet immer die Augen aufhalten, jeder Gang wird dann zur #krautschau

Cymbalaria muralis - Zimbelkraut In meiner Nachbarschaft an einer Mauer #krautschau #mauerblümchen #urbanflora

Freiburg geht gleich los auf Krautschau 😊

These books just arrived. Our new crop pollination book with info about fruits, vegetables, bees an conservation measures came out 😊 I hope we will also produce versions adapted to other countries.
