Say hello to Dr. Sharath Paligi! 🎉 We're incredibly proud of your work on the hydraulic efficiency and drought response of Douglas-fir, Norway spruce, and European beech. A truly fantastic piece of work! Huge congratulations, Sharath! 🌳🌲💧 @sharathpaligi.bsky.social #PhDone #Enrico

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!

🌳🌲🦉 Podiumsdiskussion: „Mensch und Wald – zwischen Fakten und Gefühlen“ 🎤 Prof. Dr. Carola Paul, Prof. Dr. Christian Ammer, Prof. Dr. Stefan Scheu und Prof. Dr. Dominik Seidel haben über unterschiedliche Themen zum Wald diskutiert. ❗ Die Aufzeichnung gibt's hier: youtu.be/0p_3nH-eBwk

What an insightful discussion at the Night of Science! 🌳🔬 Our panel, featuring our PIs and Forst erklärt, sparked a crucial conversation about forestry and climate change. It was fantastic to see such engaging dialogue on these vital topics. Thanks to everyone who joined us!

New press release from Uni Göttingen! Nice summary about how we used cameras up on the trees to check where red squirrels and dormice live, and if they like each other 🐿️🐀🌳 🔗 Press release: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html... Original paper: doi.org/10.1007/s103...

That's great news for mixed forests, @pmittelman.bsky.social !

New paper alert! 🔬🌲 Thalea's latest research just revealed the hidden dynamics of the forest floor. She found that decomposition in mixed beech - conifer forests is intermediate between monocultures Full paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A bank vole faces a gourmet dilemma: beech vs. Norway spruce seeds🌳🌲 Which would you pick?🌰 This forest experiment helps us understand small mammals' seed preferences To know more about how forest composition affects seed dynamics and small mammals, check: doi.org/10.1111/1365... #Rodent #seed 🐀🦊

Excited to see the next chapter of my PhD published in #PlantBiology: doi.org/10.1111/plb.... Another piece in the puzzle of tree-water relations and mixed-species forests! @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social @enricounigoe.bsky.social #openaccess #isotopes 🍁

🌲🌳💧 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!

Saying hi to @enricounigoe.bsky.social

Ever been asked, "Can't we just leave the forest alone?"⁉️ Get ready to hear expert opinions and cutting-edge research results. Join us this Saturday, June 21st, at 7 PM in ZHG 101 for a panel discussion "Mensch und Wald - Zwischen Fakten und Gefühlen" at the Night of Science! See you there! #ndwgoe

Your Saturday night plans? Science! 🔬 Join us on 21.06 from 17:00-24:00 at the 6th Night of Science in Göttingen! Swing by the EnriCo camp for hands-on games about forests & wildlife, chat with researchers, and dive deep into the wonders of nature See you there! www.goettinger-nacht-des-wissens.de

Ever wonder if squirrels & dormice get along?🐿️🐀 A new paper of @pmittelman.bsky.social, using arboreal camera data, found that arboreal small mammal species were more likely to co-occur in mixed forests. Dive into the findings here: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Wildlife #Species_coexistence
