Still buzzing after Woody Roots 9 conference! Thanks for having me and I’m already looking forward to the next @woodyroots.bsky.social And, if you missed it, check out my science outreach video on the split chamber experiment 🎬🍿 drive.google.com/file/d/1EsLr...

Join us for a walk to learn about forest resilience and more! Begleite uns auf einem Waldspaziergang und erfahre Spannendes über die Widerstandskraft des Waldes und mehr! www.uni-goettingen.de/de/699412.html #forestecol #wald #goettingen

We've officially done the real-deal fieldwork after tree climbing course @rschwutke.bsky.social and @kieuthuyquynh.bsky.social completed their very first tree climbing work after the training to collect leaves samples. It was a huge, upward-bound step for our research, and we're so ready for more!

It's official! Huge congratulations to @christina-hn.bsky.social on her successful PhD defense! Her research reveals crucial insights into how trees in mixed forests handle drought, tackling vital plant-water relationships for climate resilience🌳🌲💧 We're celebrating your amazing work, Dr. Hackmann!

🌲🌳💧 Researchers have investigated the water uptake depth of spruce, copper beech and Douglas fir. Beech and Douglas fir had access to water from deeper soil layers, unlike spruce. Whether it is a pure or mixed stand also makes a difference. doi.org/10.1111/plb.70058 @christina-hn.bsky.social

What an amazing Night of Science! We had a fantastic time sharing our research from soil to canopy. Huge thanks to everyone joining us to play the "House of Animals" game, ace the bird song challenge, and create awesome origami! Your enthusiasm for nature and science made the night truly special!

Field work can require rising to new challenges! Members of the third cohort participated in a tree-climbing course to be able to install wildlife cameras and collect samples in the tree canopy @rschwutke.bsky.social @kieuthuyquynh.bsky.social @jmanjie-z.bsky.social @MicaelaPineda 📸: Björn Lüdecke
