On #mountain slopes, we previously found strong feedbacks between #geomorphic processes, #landforms and #plants. But what about #sediments? Do they matter for #biogeomorphic feedbacks? If yes, which sediment properties should we measure and how? Have a look! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

🌍 Wissenschaft, die in die Tiefe geht: Prof. Dr. Sonia Seneviratne erhält den #uwp25 für ihre Forschung. Sie zeigt, wie eng Boden, Pflanzen und Atmosphäre verbunden sind – und warum Bodenfeuchte über Hitze, Ernte & Klima entscheidet. 👉 www.dbu.de/umweltpreis-...

Bei uns auf dem #Campus Bernburg ist der trübe Oktober ganz bunt 🌸🌼 (Einsaat war im Frühjahr - und hat trotzdem super funktioniert 🙂)

Studie zeigt: Große Ackerflächen 🚜 heizen sich an heißen Sommertagen ☀️🌡ähnlich stark auf wie städtische Betonflächen, mit negativen Folgen für den Ertrag und den Boden. "An Hitzetagen gibt es kaum einen Unterschied zwischen Berlin-Mitte und der Feldmark", sagt Pierre Ibisch, Professor für Ökologie.

Academic authors, here's a peek into the black box of journal publishing from an journal editor if you can bear it:

This should have been big news! Ten funding agencies from eight European countries have pledged to support a public infrastructure that is poised to replace academic journals: FWF 🇦🇹 RCN 🇳🇴 Forte 🇸🇪 ARIS 🇸🇮 SRC 🇸🇪 FCT 🇵🇹 CSIC 🇪🇸 DFG 🇩🇪 Formas 🇸🇪 ANR 🇫🇷 Only two of them issued press releases in […]

Delighted to share our recent open access work: The EU Nature Restoration Law widely ignores the biodiversity of urban green spaces, although these are crucial for truly sustainable cities. Countries must now define ambitious biodiversity targets for urban ecosystems. doi.org/10.1038/s429...

Die Restemissionen müssen durch Senkenleistung des Sektors Landnutzung #LULUCF und technische Senken ausgeglichen werden. Der Sektor LULUCF wird jedoch nicht mehr als THG-Senke, sondern als Quelle ausgewiesen. Der Grund: der schlechte Zustand des Waldes.

🤝🏻 Data Stewardship in Tandem In the Grassland Sciences group, Sabina Keller and Lukas Hörtnagl show how a collaborative model can not only ease the workload but also enhance the quality and transparency of research data management. Read more: go.ethz.ch/2j

What good is groundbreaking research if no one understands it? 🤔 It's like you've discovered something amazing. But if you can't explain it, it's almost like it didn't happen. 😳 We invite you to tackle this communication challenge at Research Communication Day on 7 April. 💪 👉 youtu.be/plf-XOO9A3o

💥Register now for the Research Communication Day @ruhr-uni-bochum.de! We have invited 6 researchers from various disciplines to share their experience on effective communication strategies for different purposes and target groups. 👉 www.research-school.rub.de/doctoral-res...

Research Communication Day! Looking forward to be part of the panel discussing options for young researchers to communicate their work (and if it is the right thing to do depending on career stage and other priorities) 😀 @ruhr-uni-bochum.de
