🔬 New #Ecotron article just published in SBB! Nesting #microcosms inside #mesocosms reveal how #FunctionalDiversity of macrodetritivores affects litter mass loss. 🍂🪱 Spoiler: it matters!

#Microcosms and #Mesocosms experimental platforms completely taken over by the #ANR Pollucom project (@magproffit.bsky.social and her team from CNRS CEFE) studying #ozone effects on plant–pollinator interactions 🌼🐝 They’ve hijacked our meeting room too! Must be the AC 😅 @ecotron-cnrs.bsky.social

Major milestone @ecotron-cnrs.bsky.social: #lysimeters installed in the Macrocosms experimental platform for the upcoming #biochar & #basalt for #ERW. Huge thanks to the team for the massive effort!

Interested in collaborating? Get in touch! @anaeeeric.bsky.social @anaeefrance.bsky.social

Excited to share the first article from the #Ecotron 's #Mesocosms platform! 🎉 Based on a 4+ year experiment manipulating soil macrofauna diversity in large #lysimeters under #drought. #Macrofauna matters!

Huge thanks to @UFZ_de & @CEFE_CNRS. More coming soon!
