Always wondered what the Gaia hypothesis is about but never really had time to look into that? Check out this article @tellusjournal.bsky.social ⤵️

The article posted below is just one of a collection revisiting seminal papers published in @tellusjournal.bsky.social and highlighting new research advances in Earth Sciences. Full collection: tellusjournal.org/collections/...

📢#PhD position on soil microbial resilience and resistance to drought @rousklab.bsky.social @lunduniversity.bsky.social. Apply by September 18 here: lu.varbi.com/en/what:job/...

📢 #postdoc on terrestrial #carbon cycle under global change. Topic: interactions of ecological, biogeochemical, and physical processes that drive C cycle responses to global change Where: Department of Soil & Environment, SLU 🇸🇪 Apply by: September 10 www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

After a fantastic time at the Department of Physical Geography @stockholm-uni.bsky.social next year I'll move to the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Dept. Soil & Environment). This change opens up an opportunity to hire a postdoc--see next post!

(1/4) So proud of this group effort from the @manzonilab.bsky.social! @danielaguasconi.bsky.social and I co-led a book chapter on "Soil moisture controls on soil carbon and nutrient dynamics" The book is out now and completely open access 🤩: www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edi...

New paper out in Soil Biology and Biochemistry! “Eco-evolutionary controls of microbial extracellular enzyme production in soils” doi.org/10.1016/j.so... Work on this paper began 5 years ago when I first started my PhD and it has taken many turns since then. Very happy to see it out eventually! 😊

The moisture optimum of microbial respiration is higher in intact than in sieved soils often used for model calibration. As a consequence, our models can under- (over-)estimate respiration in wet (dry) climates--see Elsa Coucheney's paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...

Is the temperature-dependence of soil respiration Q10 similar during soil drying and rewetting? www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our Editorial Board gathered at #EGU26! Proof that behind every careful review, thoughtful decision, and late-night manuscript discussion, there are actual smiling humans (yes, really 😄). We are for scientists, by scientists — and occasionally with coffee, laughter, and a group photo to prove it.

A new era for Tellus! 🌍 The re-launched journal presents the first scientific publications — spanning atmospheric processes, ocean change, and emerging climate research. Read more below.

Best way to start your #EGU26 week? Monday 8:30 ➡️ BG1.11 “Functional diversity in motion” chaired by @elsa-abs.bsky.social, @bopplaurent.bsky.social @lisawingate.bsky.social, @manzonilab.bsky.social

Happy to see that our paper on the role of microbial community composition on decomposition rates in forest soils is finally out! Written with @mpalla.bsky.social, @tijanamartin.bsky.social and @manzonilab.bsky.social for @holisoils.bsky.social 💛 available here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

📢postdoc (18 months renewable) on modeling carbon dynamics in the soil-plant system, with a focus on grasslands emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CDD/U...

The @egubg.bsky.social Early Career Scientists team invited me to share my thoughts about #AcademicMentalHealth and what to do about the ongoing crisis. Some folks wonder: I am an Earth System scientist, why do I keep talking about mental health? @egu.eu m.youtube.com/watch?v=KYea...

One month left to submit a comment to NSF about their threat to dismantle NCAR. AGU has a great tool, below. This was easy to do and you can help flood the NSF inbox with messages about how important is it to keep NCAR together! agu.quorum.us/campaign/154...

If your research questions long-standing paradigms in Earth Science, there are a few days left to submit an abstract to our #EGU26 session www.egu26.eu/session/57516 (conveners: Ilona Riipinen, Claire Ansberque, @elsa-abs.bsky.social, @manzonilab.bsky.social)

Happy New Year! 🎉 Just a quick reminder about our EGU26 session on eco-evolutionary drivers of biogeochemistry — we’d love to see your abstracts! ⏰ Deadline: Jan 15 Co-organizers: Elisa Bruni, @manzonilab.bsky.social, @bopplaurent.bsky.social, Colin Prentice

A great (pre-)christmas gift: our synthesis paper in Ecology Letters just got published! 😊 Thanks, @elsa-abs.bsky.social, @arjunchakrawal.bsky.social, @lucianachr.bsky.social, Pierre Quévreux, and @manzonilab.bsky.social for the great collaboration!! Open access article: doi.org/10.1111/ele.70278

📣 EGU26 – Call for abstracts Session: Functional diversity in motion: Eco-evolutionary drivers of biogeochemical processes across terrestrial & aquatic systems. 🎤 Solicited speakers: Jaideep Joshi & Boris Sauterey 🗓 Deadline: 15 Jan 2026 🔗 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU26/sessio...

Efficiencies are sometimes tricky to interpret. Here we show how the observed increase in efficiency of water use (iWUE) by trees does not necessarily translate into higher tree growth--drier air or drier soil limit growth despite high iWUE. Thanks Quan Zhang for leading this project!
