I don't blame santa.. the dragon would be easier.

New paper out! We review the effects of soil biodiversity on ecosystem functioning: www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Very happy to see my first PhD chapter being published 🤍 Take a look if you are interested in how tree species richness and mycorrhizal associations affect soil multifunctionality on a small scale 🌳🌳

Luckily these feelings go well with Christmas cookies <3

PhD's log: How to finish writing your thesis 1. Open the Word doc 2. Procrastinate for 3 months with a new hobby 3. Write a paragraph of the introduction 4. Procrastinate for 3 months with a new hobby 5. Stress finish everything in 3 weeks

Latin America’s feline species are losing their habitat and becoming trapped in small patches. Researchers say biological corridors are vital for their conservation. 🐆 Read more w/ @mongabay.com : https://news.mongabay.com/2025/01/conservation-corridors-provide-hope-for-latin-americas-felines/

Don't miss this talk at the GFÖ conference this year 💯

Think I have a better chance of seeing the Northern lights at this point 😅

🌳 Tree placement matters! A new study shows forests with diverse, non-clustered species boost biomass (+11%), nutrient cycling and decomposition. 🛠️ Line planting = sweet spot between ecology and management. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.idiv.de/the-right-mi...

Interested in how #forest #resilience to #drought depended on tree diversity and #mycorrhiza? The study by @lsachsenmaier.bsky.social in @journalofecology.bsky.social was just shortlisted for the Harper Prize🚨👏 Read more on the paper here👇 jecologyblog.com/2025/04/04/l...

🌴🌳 Tree species richness increases climate buffering 🌡️🥵 I am so happy to share our latest piece, now published in Ecology Letters! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

One for lab meeting! Congratulations 🍾

Boreal forests have been experiencing both gains and losses in recent decades. Liu et al show that boreal forest resilience is more sensitive to forest cover losses than to gains, indicating that functional declines due to forest loss outpace improvements following forest recovery. rdcu.be/d6T8l

Very excited to share my new paper, just out in Nature Reviews Biodiversity Global change refugia could shelter species from multiple threats @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

New study led by Ana Elizabeth Bonato Asato published in @journalofecology.bsky.social 🌱🪱 Plant diversity increases above- and below-ground ecosystem functioning and their phenological synchrony, but effects on traits vary across seasons. doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Hi Bluesky 👋🏼 I want to use the new year to introduce myself a bit ☺️ I am an ecologist in progress 📚 interested in biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships as well as tree-soil interactions on small scales 🌳🪱
