SP4's greenhouse experiment at @zalf.bsky.social wrapped! 🌿 Studying root, leaf & hyperspectral traits across crops, phytometers & arable weeds - grown with or without mycorrhiza. Now analyzing individual plants and their leaves and roots to uncover trait variation. #formula #agroforestry

We’ve officially kicked off FORMULA with our first big in-person meeting at Gladbacherhof and @jlugiessen.bsky.social! A productive start with engaging discussions, clear goals, and great collaboration across teams. Looking forward to what’s ahead! #agroforestry #formula

🎉 New research alert! 🌿
We celebrate now that another chapter of Lara's thesis is now out in Weed Research!

Here we investigated the impacts of Senecio inaequidens in N Italy by a field observation and using EICAT. 🧵

Five review requests in ~48 hours might be a new record for me. I know I'm far from the first/only to think this, but the peer review system just feels increasingly unsustainable lately.

This is not good....

Welcome to the Official Bluesky Channel for the project FORMULA! Join us, a collaborative DFG-funded team from @jlugiessen.bsky.social and @zalf.bsky.social, exploring agroforestry systems and their Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). Follow for updates on research, team insights, and events!

🧪New study on Ailanthus altissima invasion using #Sentinel-2 & #Sentinel-3 data led by Flavio Marzialletti!

📡 #Remotesensing reveals that invaded areas show:
🌱 Higher productivity & canopy biomass
💧 More leaf water content (even in summer drought!)

🎓 Ph.D. Opportunities in the field of Sustainable Development Goal Interactions
I’m excited to share that the Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia is seeking applicants for three Ph.D. Research Assistant positions within the SDGnexus Network.

🌱 Acacia invasion in coastal dunes harms ecosystem functions.
🛰️ We used airborne hyperspectral + LiDAR data to map impacts.
📉 Functional diversity decreases, spatial effects matter!
