I love jumping into topics that are rather foreign to me. Very nice lecture by Adrijan Košir " #CalciumCarbonate precipitates in the #rhizosphere: their
morphology, textural traits and #ecological functions.
They impact water retention& ecosystem.
Look at some of these images👀

I really enjoyed Doris Vetterlein‘s talk at the #rhizosphere6 on the legacy of rhizosphere. An important and often overlooked topic on what stays in the soil after the roots!

When studying rhizosphere processes, tools do help. Dr. Frederik van der Bom’s talk “From roots to resilience: can rhizosphere diversity shape future agroecosystems“ shows some nice root-rhizosphere tools/platforms in #UniCopenhagen.
