The team is back from the Czech Republic after #EdAFoBio project sampling! 🎉
With all the samples and new experiences, we surveyed a large stretch of forest in the south of the country 🐞🌳🧬
Huge thanks to the team at the Institute of Entomology @czechacademy.bsky.social for your invaluable support! 🌐

🌱Last week, our team from @soilevoecolab.bsky.social — Paula Arribas, @niravega.bsky.social, Carmen Balibrea and María Borrallo — visited @creaf.cat to attend the soil biodiversity and functionality workshops within #SoilNet network, funded by @ageinves.bsky.social

We’re setting up Malaise traps in various locations for @gioelemoro.bsky.social’s thesis project! The goal? To understand the impact of fire on arthropods and how they recover afterward! 🔥🪲

Thanks a lot to all the team, especially this time to Javier Rodríguez #ULLinterships and Carmen Balibrea! 💪🏽

The next #EdAFoBio project sampling is about to begin — this time, the team (@vicnc13.bsky.social @lorellobiod.bsky.social) is heading to the Czech Republic! ⛏️🪲

This project is funded by @ageinves.bsky.social 🌍

🌱 Webinar: Diversidad y funcionalidad de la biota del suelo

En el marco del proyecto #SoilNet, el @soilevoecolab.bsky.social junto con otros grupos de esta red organizan un webinar para explorar la vida bajo nuestros pies🪱🦠

Last week, our team — Carmelo Andújar, Carmen Balibrea, and @vicnc13.bsky.social — came back from southeastern Spain for the #EdAFoBio project (funded by @ageinves.bsky.social) They carried out an amazing sampling in the Albacete and Jaén mountain ranges that will bring a wealth of new knowledge!🧬🪲⛰️

Our team has been working in Jaén and Albacete mountain ranges, sampling for the #EdAFoBio project (funded by @ageinves.bsky.social )! This is EdAFoBio's first sampling of the year, but much more is coming! ⛰️🏔

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting Bea Lago from Misión Biológica de Galicia (#MBG-CSIC) for a short stay as part of the @csic.es tech personal mobility grants 🌎 We exchanged knowledge about our research lines, and she had the chance to explore techniques for studying soil biodiversity ⛏️🪲

In late January, our PhD student Nira Vega had a short stay at INIA-CSIC, diving into soil nematodes! 🌱🪱 She explored their role in soil health and is now sharing her new knowledge with our team 📈
This stay is part of the #SoilNet research network, funded by @ageinves.bsky.social 🌐

This week, we had the pleasure of hosting Paula Lillo from INIA @csic.es and Rubén Olmo-Gilabert from @creaf.cat at the @ipna-csic.bsky.social🌱🔬
Paula and Rubén shared their work and explored molecular pipelines and soil sampling techniques for studying soil biodiversity. 🧬🕷️
