4.5 years came to an end - and it was an amazing journey :) Thanks to all who accompanied and supported me along the way. A special thanks to my supervisors Stefano @manzonilab.bsky.social and Salim Belyazid, and all colleagues and friends at the Dept. of Physical Geography at Stockholm University.

New research showing a mismatch between projected spruce habitat suitability under climate change and current management practices in Sweden. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

New Nature Ecology & Evolution paper out today @natecoevo.nature.com! We find that models deviate from observations in the weighting of important soil processes. This mismatch has important implications for developing soil carbon models and improving predictions of soil carbon fate in the future 🌍

Soil microbes grow, respire, die. Because their biomass eventually becomes necromass, and necromass can be stabilized in soil, growth rate emerges as a powerful predictor of soil carbon: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

My colleague Christian Poll offers a PhD position in our group at University of Hohenheim, we would be glad if you share this opportunity with potential candidates. His project EcoFuture KAP4 is an interesting collaborative project with University of Tübingen. dbges.de/assets/Uploa...

Great Christmas opportunity if you search for a #PhD position in environmental sciences: #TERRA is searching for 15 doctoral students filling our first 5 Focus Unit (FUN) projects with life. Full post with all links here: uni-tuebingen.de/en/285483. MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY NEW YEAR from #TeamTERRA

A great (pre-)christmas gift: our synthesis paper in Ecology Letters just got published! 😊 Thanks, @elsa-abs.bsky.social, @arjunchakrawal.bsky.social, @lucianachr.bsky.social, Pierre Quévreux, and @manzonilab.bsky.social for the great collaboration!! Open access article: doi.org/10.1111/ele.70278

How do scientific ideas evolve and which paradigms in Earth system science deserve a fresh look? We welcome submissions to address these questions in our #EGU26 session “Re-examining Seminal Ideas in Earth System Science” www.egu26.eu/session/57516

#EGU26 session on climate change emulation for impact projections. Please share with anyone who works on simple climate models, statistical / ML / hybrid approaches, pattern scaling, emulators, real-world impact studies 🌍 📩 Abstract submissions are open. 🔗 Session info: www.egu26.eu/session/56612

Big congratulations to our deputy director Gustaf Hugelius, who was just awarded a ERC Syngergy Grant for the project “Northern Peatlands in the face of climate warming and abrupt changes (CLIMPEAT).” 👏

Open Letter by scientists to the Council: "Climate Neutrality Is Europe’s Greatest Economic Opportunity”. Ahead of the European Council meeting on 23.10.2025, 2,178 scientists urge EU Heads of States & Governments to take ambitious decisions for the 2040 targets. zenodo.org/records/1739...

Varmare och torrare somrar gör skogarna mer sårbara för granbarkborrar. En ny studie av bl a Caroline Greiser, Stockholms univ, visar att angreppen höjer temperaturen i drabbade områden. Men lövträd pekas ut som lösningen på uppvärmningseffekten. @bolincentre.bsky.social www.svt.se/nyheter/loka...

Latest at #FEMSMicrobiolLett: 🌱 Compost boosts fungal abundance in grassland soils, even under drought.💧 Microbial communities show resilience to reduced precipitation.📍 Site variation matters more than treatment! 🔗 buff.ly/lG7AK0y #SoilMicrobiology #ClimateResilience #MicrobialEcology

📣 New PhD student position opening in my lab! Soils are full of microbes, but how many are active? Surprisingly, we still lack reliable methods to answer this. If you are interested in microbial dormancy and are fascinated by the Alps and glacier forefields, contact me. 🏔️ 🦠 💤 🧬 🎓

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

The @ipcc.bsky.social has selected 3 Bolin Centre researchers as authors for the upcoming Seventh Assessment Report (AR7) – congratulations to deputy director Gustaf Hugelius, Ninis Rosqvist and Erik Kjellström! 👏 @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

Job Alert! The University of Tübingen is hiring a FULL PROFESSOR (W3) in FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY! Come and join our institute, and maybe our new excellence clusters @terra-cluster.org and @greenrobust.de. @gfoesoc.bsky.social @britishecologicalsociety.org @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social Please repost!

🧵 2/2 🔬 On 17 September we will explore how to account for microbial communities in soil carbon models with Elisa Bruni from Ecole normale supérieure and @manzonilab.bsky.social & @erikschwarz.bsky.social from Stockholm University ⬇️ holisoils.eu/holisoils-we...

Our ability to predict how biology will feed back to climate change relies on our ability to convert biological insights into mathematica formulations that can be scaled up in structured ways, within the context of Earth System Models (ESMs)...

#Prospects PhDs & postdocs of all disciplines note: Would you like to lead an independent junior research group? In our online talk you will get first-hand information about the aims and requirements of the DFG Emmy Noether Programme and more. Link to the meeting will be published here: fcld.ly/enp

A huge thank you to everyone that joined us at the first day of the re-launch & 75th Anniversary of the journal #Tellus! 🫶 Brilliant presentations, and we are more than excited for what day two will bring tomorrow. 🌍 @scienceacademyswe.bsky.social @stockholm-uni.bsky.social

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
