#biomarker studies sometimes remind of solving a crime: different molecular indicators & proxies brought in context tell the story: long climatic/elevation gradients like at Mt. #Kilimanjaro are predestinated: check tinyurl.com/5n86rczz in #Catena journal of J.

"Although the focus of much plant and soil science has been on the return of leaves to the soil both as a stock of C in the soil and as a substrate for soil organisms, root returns to soil are larger than shoot returns in several regions." #Root

Your #DBG2025 Icebreaker Service Team of the Geo-Biosphere Interactions Group #GBI of @unituebingen.bsky.social is seriously practicing all required services (having fun doing so).
