It’s out!! We subjected soils from 30 different locations across Europe to extreme events and found that soil fungal and bacterial communities showed consistent responses that could be predicted from their origin! nature.com/articles/s4158…
Happy to see this chapter of my thesis published. 🌲🍄🦠Detecting changes in soil properties that could be highlighted as indicators of passive restoration success of abandoned agricultural lands.

📌Are you eager to learn how soil microbiota protect plants from drought stress? Do you have a passion for teaching? Joins us @RIBESresearch for a 5-yr Educational PhD! Info and application: ru.nl/en/working-at/… Please RT🙏
Last week, @cordero_ire presented her research on #SoilBiodiversity and drought at our seminar series at @WSL_research. It was an insightful and lively seminar with many questions from the audience. The recording is now available here: youtu.be/FR3fKN97hJk?fe…

🗓️ Tomorrow @cordero_ire will present her work on soil biodiversity, drought, and land management at our Biodiversity Seminar Series. Irene joined @WSL_research last year, so she will tell us about her past work and future plans here with us. Check the link below for more info
In our next #WSLBiodiversitySeminar, @cordero_ire will present her research on #SoilBiodiversity and its response to drought and land management. Join us in person or online! biodiversitycenter.wsl.ch/en/events/deta…

jobs.manchester.ac.uk/Job/JobDetail?… Come and work with Dr Filipa Cox and join our lab group. Here is yet another awesome opportunity to look into the ecology of plant-fungal interactions.
Important paper led by @arthurbroadbent @SoilEcolUoM showing that snow removal and shrub encroachment, both consequences of rapid climate change in mountain ecosystems, cause a mismatch between plant and microbial N cycling processes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Are you interested in ecology and looking for an internship in the Swiss Mountains? We are looking for a motivated candidate to explore with us the effects of novel plant consumers on plant communities, and work with us in the @BugNet_research in Davos. m.refline.ch/273855/1613/pu…
We are looking for a new member in our group! If you are fascinated by plant-soil interactions and land use change, please apply and join #PlantSoilAdapt project @ERC_Research We have a lively and friendly community of ecologists waiting to welcome you! euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/193063
🚨 Job alert! 🚨 Come work with us @IBED_UvA as Postdoc in Soil Biodiversity and Land Management in the recently funded EU-Biodiversa project GRASS4FUN, with @AlbertBrangari @ManuDelBaq @vandeHeijdenLab and many more! Application deadline 11/2! Pls RT! vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/Postdo…
If you never seen ecologists dancing , here you go 🪩🕺🏻💃🏻#BES2023
Plenary this morning with Jane Stout finishing with a positive note and a message of hope that things are changing, and that we, as ecologist, are supper important to help with this change! #BES2023 💪

Nice to get a first glimpse into how land use and plant growth strategy affect drought resistance in study by @cordero_ire @SoilEcolUoM #BES2023
#BES2023 here we go!!! So excited to be back at BES! Come and say hello if you are around 😃. I have a talk at 10:30 today in plant-soil interactions session! Join me if you are interested in learning about microbiomes, drought, land use and plant performance 🌱🍄🦠@SoilEcolUoM


What are the impacts of defoliation & fertilisation on grassland #plant traits? A new paper led by @YanLiu2018 shows opposing effects on root traits & their regulation of #soil #ecosystem functioning! W/ @cordero_ire & Richard Bardgett besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
New paper out from my colleague Marco @soilecologist on belowground pitfall traps! Very cool and easy method to evaluate soil mesofauna, and a great alternative to traditional Tullgren/Berlese method! Check it out! 🐛🐜🕷🪲🔬🥳 doi.org/10.1016/j.pedo…
Delighted to share our paper (with @PlantEcoEvoUT) in @JEcology led by @heredia_ac1985! Cristina did a massive experiment testing how root litter decomposition is affected by litter origin AND plant community composition. (1/4) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Hot off the press 💻🥳!! Our latest blog on Beneath our Feet is out! Mark Anthony @MAnthony02 discusses his latest paper finding that 59% +/- 15% of soil diversity is found in soil 🪱🐛🐜🦠🍄! The blog can be found here: globalsoilbiodiversity.org/blog-beneath-o…
