Who wants to know how plant roots and microbes conspire to induce anoxic microsites in the rhizosphere? Check out @soiltycoon.bsky.social's latest paper in New Phytologist! lnkd.in/eCwxkwT2. THANKS to G Ceriotti, P De Anna, S. Borisov, J Berg, D Garrido-Sanz, C Keel, the NCCR Microbiomes and SNF.

New @fwf-at.bsky.social CoE Microplanet study in @newphyt.bsky.social! Based on 70 years of data, CoE Key Researcher @christinakaiser.bsky.social and team @cemess.bsky.social @univie.ac.at show 50% loss in beneficial fungi due to high N-low K fertilizers. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper by @christinakaiser.bsky.social and #KianJenab from @ter-cemess.bsky.social at #CeMESS 🙌🌱🍄‍🟫

Uralte Symbiose zwischen Pflanzen und Pilzen: Christina Kaiser vom @cemess.bsky.social hat herausgefunden, dass diese Mykorrhizasymbiose sehr empfindlich auf Ungleichgewichte von bestimmten Nährstoffen im Boden reagiert. #univie Was dies für eine nachhaltige Landwirtschaft bedeutet: ⤵️

A team led by ecologist @christinakaiser.bsky.social has discovered that mycorrhizal symbiosis is sensitive to imbalances of certain nutrients in the soil. The data come from an experiment that has been running for over 70 years. www.univie.ac.at/en/news/pres... 🧵1/3 #PlantScience

1/3 〰️ CoE PhD students Thayer Taft from the lab of @christinakaiser.bsky.social and André Carvalho Araújo from the lab of @dagmarwoebken.bsky.social @cemess.bsky.social @univie.ac.at for their study on circadian clocks in the human gut, rhizosphere & desert biocrusts.

Use your chance to join the #TERRA team @unituebingen.bsky.social: 7-year position waiting for sbd. to advance #bioinformatic analysis in the context of bio-geo-diversity relations. Tübingen itself is a convincing reason, but our amazing #cluster team even more. We look forward to your application!

(1/2) Very excited about this new paper by @soiltycoon.bsky.social and @keiluweitlab.bsky.social . They elegantly confirm what we have proposed in our earlier papers(e.g. doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2023.109259): the formation of temporarily anoxic microsites caused by root exudation.

NEW PAPER 🚨 Curious how plant root exudation and soil texture might interact to form dynamic anoxic microsites in the #rhizosphere, and what they might mean for the fate of soil #carbon, nutrient or contaminent in #soils? Check out @soiltycoon.bsky.social's new paper in SBB: doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

One week to go! Apply by Sept 17 for the Full Professor position in Soil Ecosystems and Global Change at #CeMESS at the University of Vienna. More info: 🔗 ter.univie.ac.at/news-talks/n... @univie.ac.at #SoilEcosystems #WeAreHiring

A fun commentary with @christinakaiser.bsky.social inspired by a very cool paper in New Phyt by @fungidownunder.bsky.social et al. showing that EcM fungal functional traits affect soil C responses to elevated CO2. EcM species and traits really matter! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

So happy to read these @cemess.bsky.social news. Our centre at @univie.ac.at is really well positioned for future developments @kathikitzinger.bsky.social #MichaelZumstein 🧪 #Microsky

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

AGU urges the Trump administration to immediately renew U.S. federal commitment to climate science. The U.S. must restore critical climate science leadership for a secure, prosperous future for the country and the world. Read AGU’s statement here: news.agu.org/press-releas...

Our newest research in @nature.com We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📹 @sasaspacal.bsky.social

Happy to announce our new paper: Soil microbes prefer organic acids over sugars in simulated root exudation (doi.org/10.1016/j.so...). 1/6
