Today at #EGU2026: Yihan Pu from @unituebingen.bsky.social presented on #RootWayS project about a pot. 4th pathway of #facilitation in living mulch/ #intercropping systems: the #AMF -mediated crop-crop nutrient exchange. Clear, that we've not yet exploited our potential for #sustainable #agriculture

Great having Duntao Shu from NW Agriculture & Forest University in China currently visiting our lab @unituebingen.bsky.social. Great talk at #EGU2026 on how organic fertilizer enhance #soil health + plant performance enriching the core #microbiome. Great time including pre-talk-Tafelspitz-Dinner!

Great Keynote talk from @michaeladippold.bsky.social who told us about the diversity of substrates and costs of enzymatic production by microorganisms. Questions from audience lasted long 🥳 It was really a 🔥 topic !

We are hiring! On the search for an ambitious post-doc with hot skills in metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and bioinformatics to join our EcoEnergeticS project with @michaeladippold.bsky.social Find the ad here: uni-tuebingen.de/zh/266340

At #DBG2025, our #SPP2322 & #Storage projects target #bioenergetics in #soils: @lingling1000.bsky.social assessed C & energy use efficiencies, @nbilyera.bsky.social the metabolic costs of enzyme production, & Yang Ding the interrelation of grassland C & N input on microbial storage: Excellent Job👋

Microbial dilution: revealing the functional value of microbial #diversity by experimental approaches. Phosphatase activity in P-rich #soils decreases more by microbial dilution than in P-poor ones --> higher #phosphatase diversity in #recycling #ecosystem tinyurl.com/32ezdjmt by @dfg.de #SPP1685
