Microbial movement into soils occurs at a surprisingly local scale. By measuring dispersal rates and spatial patterns, this study challenges the assumption that microbes freely mix across environments. isme-microbes.org/close-to-hom... #microbes #fungi #bacteria #dispersal #ecology

Spore dispersal of northern mosses now starts several weeks earlier compared to 35 years ago！https://www.lunduniversity.lu.se/article/old-air-samples-hint-effects-climate-change

In this new #GlobalChangeBio paper (doi.org/10.1111/gcb.70579), we investigate why #warming initially boosts soil #CO2 emissions but losses stabilize over time, limiting impact of chronic warming on #SOC stocks

I've always been interested in learning about the roles of different elements in organisms. Here's a piece of work from my undergraduate studies, where we explored how #iron is regulated in plant pathogenic #fungi!🍄 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

📢 Funded PhD opportunities for UK candidates in beautiful Edinburgh. Get in touch if you're interested in a PhD on understanding the mechanisms of soil carbon cycling and the role of microbes. We work in different ecosystems: peatlands, forests and agricultural soils. Please repost/spread the word.

Research on bryophytes has increased significantly. This informative paper highlights the vast diversity while also compiling a wealth of knowledge at the genomic level. Thanks to all the authors. #plants #genome #bryophytes #moss #liverwort #plantscience www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Highly recommend! There are so much fuuuuuun working on #moss and #cyanobacteria!

Every year on week 37 @voltcenter.bsky.social goes away for two days of science, fun, inspiration and team building. Here are some of the many highlights in thread:

Big thanks to #AJB for the invitation to write this essay for the series "On the nature of things" - It was fun! bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/toc/10.1...

In this new paper, @albertbrangari.bsky.social develops a new theoretically grounded approach to represent both microbial growth and respiration in a unified framework that can be interfaced immediately into Earth System Models framework, thus incorporating ecological insights into biogeochemistry

Our ability to predict how biology will feed back to climate change relies on our ability to convert biological insights into mathematica formulations that can be scaled up in structured ways, within the context of Earth System Models (ESMs)...

... We're very exciting, and it is well worth a read! Enjoy! www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Circadian interactions between plants and microorganisms: congratulations to Jack Dorling, Isobel Banks and Georgia Love from the lab for writing this review #CurrOpinMicrobiol @microclockerc.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Metabolism shapes structural evolution across different scales- www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌋 Evolutionary processes shape plant ecological strategies linked to disturbances like volcanism on Tenerife Island. Primary succession is governed by the selection of functional traits related to environmental conditions, acquisitive-conservative strategies and dispersal capacity. buff.ly/lpm5WXB

And truly grateful for all the support from @kathrinrousk.bsky.social, David Wardle and Duncan Menge - thanks for all the warm and kind after every rejection💚, which kept me persistent during all these applications! 💪

Thrilled to get the international postdoc grant from @vetenskapsradet.bsky.social! I am extremely happy and even felt dizzy when I saw my name, especially after receiving 5 rejections since last year… www.vr.se/english/appl...

I really recommend Planet Soil - see it, if you can get across a screening, or contact producer Ignas van Schaik to organize one in your city:) Featuring @tobykiers.bsky.social and many more www.planetsoilmovie.com

Lund's Sustainability Week was a lot of Soil this year! Soil microscopy at the botanical Garden and Skylle, nanoplastics, and the documentary "Planet Soil" at a pretty full KinoLund with panel discussion afterwards. Thanks a lot all wonderful people who made this all happen!:) @BECC @Soilchipgroup

Very interesting review estimating that cyanobacteria were already prepared for aerobic metabolism before oxygenating the global atmosphere! 🦠🌍💨🧪

@mingyueyuan.bsky.social returning to some of her roots as a plant molecular biologist, with a detour (?) into #soilMicrobialEcology on her way to #EcosystemEcology

It’s happening…the model #Moss has entered the lab…We call it Physcomitrella ”patient” because it will get some special treatment…

#Bryophytes will never stop to amaze me. Beautiful and delicate, small and tough, home to various critters and vibrantly green when most other plants are brown…

Please share! Two excellent post doc opportunities in Forest Ecology in northern Sweden with my colleague David Wardle. 👇 eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

Growth in Swedish forests has declined over the past decade – in sharp contrast to all forecasts. This will have major implications for the Swedish economy and for the country’s ability to achieve its climate targets #research #science #climate #forest tinyurl.com/26sv9f2c
