🌱 Els sòls només si són vius sostenen la vida. La setmana passada 128 científiques i científics vam signar una carta oberta publicada a la revista Plants, People, Planet demanant accions globals coordinades per protegir la biodiversitat del sòl.🔗 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... (1/4)

Ooops! The pictures were not uploaded. Here on our way to plot p23. An extraordinary P-rich plot over tue Chagres river. Super shallow and rocky soils but such magnificent giant trees!

1/ In Mediterranean forests, soil fauna are key players in nutrient cycling via litter decomposition. But how do drought and litter quality influence their role? We tackled this question harnessing a long-term rainfall exclusion experiment in the Prades Mountains (south Catalonia) 🌿🌞

Excelente jornada sobre biología del suelo en el @creaf.cat. Ahora Ana Rincón del ICA-CSIC toma el relevo para profundizar sobre la diversidad metabólica microbiana. Estáis a tiempo de conectar para la última sesión sobre fauna edáfica 👇🏽

Very happy to know that our 2023 paper published in @journalofecology.bsky.social on the importance of nutrient availability as a driver of tree community assembly and functional trait space in tropical rainforests is a top cited article!

🌱 (Nanoplastics + Antibiotics) * Warming = unseen impacts in #SoilBiodiversity ? We studied the ecotox model species 𝘍𝘰𝘭𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘥𝘢 (a springtail bioindicator) under 2 warming levels, finding nanoplastics reshaped their gut microbiomes — but effects flipped at higher temps. #Microbiome

📣Just published the brand-new march issue of #SoilEcology Letters and our article made it to the cover! 🎉🥳 Exploring the sensitivity of the gut microbiome of springtails to the interactive effects of warming, antibiotics and nanoplastics.

Very happy for Marina Aguilar who has succesfully defended her master’s thesis about the importance of urban parks as refuges for bee diversity! 🐝🎉🎊
