We are very happy to announce that Bettina was awarded the Alina Kabata-Pendias Medal at EGU26. 🎉🏅

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to invite you to participate in the session “Dryland Remote Sensing: Applications, Challenges, and Opportunities” at the EGU General Assembly 2026. Abstract submission deadline: 15 January 2026 Session link: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessio...

🌱 Interested in #biocrusts & cryptogamic/microbial communities? Join us at our session at @EGU General Assembly! 📅 Abstract deadline: 15 Jan 2026 👉 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessio... 👥 Co-conveners: Maier, S | Weber, B | dagmarwoebken.bsky.social | Garcia-Pichel, F | @rce959.bsky.social

Happy to share our new paper in Ecological Engineering, led by @rce959.bsky.social and colleagues at the University of Almería We present a precision framework to restore vegetation in dryland mines and quarries: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @gramub.bsky.social @geografiaub.bsky.social

New paper alert: Overestimated natural biological nitrogen fixation translates to an exaggerated CO2 fertilization effect in Earth System Models. Outstanding work by lead author Sian Kou-Giesbrecht 👇👇👇👇👇👇 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Very Happy to be part of this very interesting study lead by in which we develop a novel precision restoration framework to guide species reintroduction in degraded dryalnds kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

Out today in Nature! We estimated a new global rate of N2-fixation, yielding new relationships between N2-fixation and NPP and ET. Great leadership by Carla Reis and Steve Perakis. 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
