El 07/11 estaremos en EXPOSAGRIS hablando sobre el proyecto GRASS4FUN en un taller organizado por @upafederal.bsky.social & @csic.es Pásate si te interesa saber si las áreas protegidas protegen el suelo www.ifema.es/exposagris @biodiversa.eu @manudelbaq.bsky.social

La @upafederal.bsky.social ha publicado un artículo sobre el proyecto GRASS4FUN financiado por @biodiversa.eu centrado en responder a la pregunta: ¿protegen las áreas protegidas la biodiversidad y el funcionamiento del suelo? www.upa.es/upa/_depot/_... @manudelbaq.bsky.social

Study out in Science Advances today finds that using even 1% of "suitable areas" for offshore wind and solar power could yield 30 percent of global electricity needs in 2050

Dream job 👇

It's tomorrow at 16:30! @manudelbaq.bsky.social ( @irnase.bsky.social ) will inaugurate the Iberian Group of Urban Ecology's (AEET) online seminar series here: teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-joi...

JOB ALERT! We are looking for a LAB MANAGER (7-year position!) to help us build the MOLECULAR BIODIVERSITY lab in our @terra-cluster.org at @unituebingen.bsky.social. Are you a NGS wet lab expert, and you like the idea of supporting research on natural biodiversity, then apply! Please re-post!

Very happy to share that @migueldc1.bsky.social, a lab postdoc and JdC researcher, has been awarded an @eco-aeet.bsky.social grant to study microbial community assembly in the rhizosphere. Great news!!!🎉🎉🎉 www.aeet.org/es/convocato...

As an Associate Editor, I have already invited 16 reviewers for a ms, and just one accepted. Is this the new normal? I am just sorry for the authors whose paper assessment will be slow

In #drylands, plants don’t grow randomly — they self-organize into disordered hyperuniform patterns that help them use water wisely & endure extreme aridity. A beautiful hidden logic of nature, revealed in a new @pnas.org study doi.org/10.1073/pnas... including #Maestrelab alumni

Over the past two years, the land carbon sink appears to have weakened dramatically, driving the largest one year jump in atmospheric CO2 on record in 2024. Is this the end of the land carbon sink? I asked around for @newscientist.com.

Everybody makes money out of academic authors except the authors...News. Wiley is the latest academic publisher to reach a multi-million deal to allow access to its content to AI developers, with no opt out, let alone payment, for the authors who created that content.

Rooting for function: community‐level fine‐root traits relate to many ecosystem functions

Maybe the land carbon sink is weaker than we thought. Big implications: "A lower-than-expected land carbon sink would also imply that the land biosphere may be closer to transitioning from a net carbon sink to a net source than current models predict" Randerson et al. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
