Depiction of reality: Just under 3.5 % of Switzerland’s land area is permafrost. #SLF ’s interactive permafrost map (photo), based on modelling, shows where permafrost is located and how cold it is. More in the #WSL #magazine #DIAGONAL 2/25: www.dora.lib4ri.ch/wsl/islandor... 📷️ SLF

How to not be swamped by your microclimate data? The rise of microclimate data may have opened Pandora’s box. Gone are the days of simple bioclimatic variables — now heads spin trying to summarize these timeseries. A much-needed paper by @krystofchytry.bsky.social: 🔗 the3dlab.org/2025/11/11/h...

🌳This #WorldEcologyDay, remember: forests are Earth's ecological backbone! They regulate climate, purify water, house 80% of terrestrial biodiversity & sustain 1.6 billion livelihood.

📘 Kicking off our series of #CRC1502 DETECT’s most-cited papers with 285 citations to date: Vereecken et. al. (2022) “Soil hydrology in the Earth system” (Nat Rev Earth Environ). This review discusses how soil-water processes steer water–energy–carbon cycles and extremes. 📝 doi.org/10.1038/s430...

Excited to be at the 2025 Soil Science Society of America Meetings in Salt Lake City, UT. I have three talks to share: 1) multi sensory approaches to teaching hydrology, 2) mass and chemistry of periodical cicadas, and 3) the Sergei A Wilde Lectureship in Forest Soils. If anyone is here, look me up!

New paper! I'm particularly excited about it We know very little about mycorrhizal fungi invasions, and our idea was that the few that could do free living, would be better at invading As often happens in science, we were wrong & learned a lot:) I❤️Science link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Decades of ship-breaking at Alang-Sosiya have left a microbial fingerprint. Polluted coastal samples show fewer species but more heavy-metal and antibiotic resistance genes—evidence that local microbes are adapting to long-term industrial stress. 🌐🧪

Across six climate periods, modeling shows Northern Hemisphere permafrost shrinking by up to 55%. Using a surface frost index model and multi-model ensemble, researchers reveal permafrost’s high sensitivity to warming, with major implications for climate feedbacks and policy. 🌐🧪

Fertilizing alpine meadows isn’t just about greener grass—it changes the underground engine. Nitrogen and phosphorus boost fast-growing microbes and nitrification but reduce stable carbon compounds, reshaping how these high mountain soils store carbon. 🌐🧪

At Germany’s Hunsrück-Hochwald National Park, a three-part method—historical records, LiDAR mapping, and field surveys—reconstructs past forest wetland drainage. Integrating these tools reveals hidden ditch networks and guides climate-resilient wetland restoration. 🌐🧪

From mountaintops to microbes, it's all a part of the Critical Zone. The Critical Zone Network of Networks project is dedicated to bringing researchers together to better understand this part of our world. Learn more on the CZ-NoN website: bit.ly/CZ_NoN_main 🌐🧪
