In our latest paper, just published in @natcomms.nature.com we show that soil conditions, landscape structure & land-use change shape global soil pathogenic fungal diversity. Landscape complexity and crops increase diversity, while grass and tree cover reduce it www.nature.com/articles/s41...

How are Pacific NW mountain birds responding to climate change?

I got up at 4:00 am for a month to find out.

but first the backstory, or "how I spent seven years telling everyone this project wasn't possible"

What is living in (and on) alpine soils at 3100m in the European #Alps?

"Not too much"? Check out this sample.
A lot of critters (abundance) and also some larger larvae (Tipulidae) and some flying insects (biomass).

Very excited to sort out these #GLORIA samples from #SouthTyrol.

Julia Seeber and Michael Steinwandter found a way to protect their wood decompostion sticks for the Soil BON project from curious bovines by using poultry wire boxes. Brilliant! ✨🌱🐄✨

Five years after VAIA:

– Norway spruce dominates regeneration (67%), but only 26% of plots meet targets.
– Browsing affects 25% of seedlings, especially Rowan, Willow, and Silver fir.

Management should promote species diversity and control browsing.
