A review written by PhD candidate (when he was still a Msc student...) @stevendegoede.bsky.social on fungal induced soil aggregation mechanisms and its effects on soil C stocks. Publishing this was a long process, but hope this is helpful for all (especially early careers)!

Plenty of people still heading out to #EGU25 at 8:30 on the last day, but the crowd certainly is getting sleepier.

Soon one of my favourite sessions will start on mycorrhizal fungi in forest ecosystems 🌲🍄🌳

After that, it will be time for a little holiday 😄🥳

So, this is coming out soon... 👀😱

My first first-author paper 😄

Will share more when it will be properly published! 🍄

One of the most interesting #EGU25 sessions is starting very soon in room -2.20: Growth, death, and biogeochemical cycles: decoding the complexity of #soil biological communities and their functions. 🍄🦠🌱

Please join and stay, room not packed yet, but wouldn't be surprised if it would happen 😬

Early start at #EGU25 ,waking up with a talk about microbial dormancy in the Soil Carbon and Global Change session.

My @niooknaw.bsky.social colleague Guusje Koorneef is presenting at 10:50 in room 0.51 Please go listen to her after your latest shot of coffee, just after the break!

Find our own Alix Vidal and many others SBL and Soil Science cluster at the EGU this week! Enjoy 🚀
👋 Heading to #EGU25 tomorrow! Excited to catch up with many of you. Will be talking about earthworms🪱, roots, AMF and how they shape soil phosphorus and carbon cycling🌱!

On my way to Vienna for #EGU25 with the @niooknaw.bsky.social crew! 🚄

Crawling out of a social media pause, I'll have good things to share soon 😄

Please join for my talk tomorrow in session SSS4.5 at 16:40 about #forest management, drought and #soil microbes! 🌲🍄🌞

We recommend to refrain from fertilizing pine-dominated stands on low-productive soils or in regions with cold climates and spruce-dominated stands on low- and high-productive soils. In our dataset, this means that 17% of the fertilized pine-dominated stands should not have been fertilized. (5/5)

Last week during our @niooknaw.bsky.social Terrestrial #Ecology dep. meeting, Sophie Planchenault (Leiden University) gave a very nice overview of her PhD project "Microbial carbon-use efficiency: towards a better understanding of #soil organic matter". Looking forward to the results! 🦠🌱🧑‍🔬

New job, new platform! ✨ A month ago I started as a postdoc at Uni Potsdam, part of CRC1644 "Phenotypic plasticity in plants". It was a warm welcome in the BioDiv group of Prof Anja Lindstäter

I am beyond happy to continue my interdisciplinary research (and to live in such a beautiful new place!)

Our first Bluesky post contains some good news for #fungi! After a long history of being unprotected, COP16 marked a huge advancement in the conservation of fungi. 🍄🥳

Thanks to work led by our partners at Fungi Foundation, The Fungal Conservation Pledge was introduced at #COP16. bit.ly/3Vl9GHL
Why Fungi Could Get Higher Conservation Status And Why It Matters
The UK and Chile are proposing at the UN’s biodiversity conference COP16 in Colombia that fungi receive the same status to animals and plants. This could help foster and funding research.

Nee, de naaktslak is niet de grote winnaar geworden van de 10e editie van de Bodemdierendagen in 2024. In plaats daarvan is de regenworm met 94% het vaakst geziene bodemdier van 2024: het vaakst van alle ‘deelnemers’ en ook meer dan ooit voor de regenwormen.

What an insane day for this great guy! Felipe Cozim Melges got married & became a doctor on the same day 🥳 Very lively & interesting discussion with the opponents, and a really nice body of work in his thesis entitled 'Biodiversity in circular food systems'. Many congrats! #biodiversity #agriculture
