Anne Chao and @piambr.bsky.social, the 100% perfect dialogue duo at #gfoe2025! ✨
Thank you for sharing statistical insights on sample coverage and it's standardization in the first @gfoesoc.bsky.social keynote session using #BETAFOR data.🌳🌱

Had a blast at #gfoe2025!
betafor.bsky.social BETA-FOR @betafor.bsky.social · Sep 8
Our #BETAFOR PhDs had an amazing time presenting their research at last week’s #gfoe2025 at @uni-wuerzburg.de! 🌟 Full of fresh ideas and inspiring discussions, it’s back to daily life. 💻✨

New paper out! 📃 Enhanced structural complexity in forests has limited effects on #soil abiotic properties, but #microbial activity and biomass respond site-specifically. Soil moisture and understory growth link to microbial functions. 💧🧫🌳🍁

Inconsistent short-term effects of enhanced structural complexity on soil microbial properties across German forests
Structural and biotic homogenization can result from forestry practices lacking promotion of canopy gaps and deadwood. This can lead to biodiversity l…

New research out from our PhD student Fabian Klimm!
jappliedecology.bsky.social Journal of Applied Ecology @jappliedecology.bsky.social · May 30
Life at the (h)edge—Multidiversity in shrub ecotones is driven by habitat quality & shrub foliage cover 🌱🌏

To maximise biodiversity benefits across taxa, recommends managing shrub ecotones at the landscape scale, maintaining a mosaic of open & half-open shrub ecotones 📈🧪

Have you ever wondered what happens when you put 400g of cow dung in the Bavarian Forest? - A feast! 🪲🪲

Check out the new honey bee paper of our PhD student @giuliamai.bsky.social! 🐝
jappliedecology.bsky.social Journal of Applied Ecology @jappliedecology.bsky.social · May 16
Floral diversity enhances winter survival of honeybee colonies across climatic regions 🐝

Highlights the critical role of including floral resource diversity and weather conditions in a comprehensive framework for studying honeybee hibernation 🌻🌏🧪

Insects are struggling with major global change drivers, like climate change and habitat loss. Researchers from @ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social have now investigated, how these threats interact. The results show that bees suffer in particular. 🐝☀️🏙️

Had fun presenting my poster about the effects of climate and forest structure on dung beetles at #EGU2025. Thanks to everyone in the Forest Floor session for showing so much interest in my somewhat different research topic! 🌲🪲 @betafor.bsky.social
