📢#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/...

Are soil & vegetation responses to increased/decreased precipitation coupled? You can find out just before lunch today at EGU26! Stefano Manzoni presents our cool and super collaborative research project funded by @bolincentre.bsky.social

Little break from the parental leave silence: Check out our new study led by the amazing @danielaguasconi.bsky.social! We found that integrating microbial diversity information with abiotic drivers enhances the prediction of respiration rates in managed Scots pine forests.

Reminder! The #HoliSoils webinar on the integration of microbial processes into SOC models starts today at 2 pm CEST.

🔬 Microbial communities are the main drivers of #soil carbon decomposition, but modelling their interactions remains a major challenge! 📣 On 17 September join the first session of the #HoliSoils webinar series with @iufro.bsky.social Task Force T58! Find out more ⬇️ holisoils.eu/holisoils-we...

🦠🌱 Join us for the first #HoliSoils webinar: Challenges in Modelling Microbial Interaction in SOC Decomposition. #SoilHealth 📅 17 Sept, 14:00–15:30 CEST Explore cutting-edge insights from leading experts on soil C models & microbial dynamics. Free & open to all! 👉 holisoils.eu/holisoils-we...

Really pleased to see this work published. The study was led by Elisa Bruni as a collaborative result from the #HoliSoils project. Check it out here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Elisa found that respiration rates scale as the product of organic carbon and microbial biomass, with minimal effects of microbial diversity. This is a cool result, supporting the use of nonlinear kinetics to interpret data at small scales (lab incubation). Great @holisoils.bsky.social team effort!

Attending #EGU @egu.eu & care about mental health & diversity in academia? Join our Union Symposium Monday, 16:15–18:00 in Room E1. Co-organized with @polarocean.bsky.social @geocarolina.bsky.social Sabine Hörnig and Anita Di Chiara. Read more on @lucialayr.bsky.social blog post @egubg.bsky.social

Key message on management of drained forested peatlands from the @holisoils.bsky.social‬ policy brief below: "Avoiding clearcutting and applying continuous cover forestry on peatlands allows timber production with a higher water level [...], which can reduce GHG emissions"

@mpallandt.bsky.social and I were awarded financial support through the new EGU EDI Participation Support Scheme, to bring our child to #EGU25. This enables EC scientists to attend without monetary punishment for having children and no local support system. I hope more such initiatives will follow!

Come and work with us! 2+2 year postdoc at Trinity College Dublin on modelling plant defence and resistance to pathogens. Going from first principles to near term forecasts and decision tools. Deadline 3rd of March, start date as soon as possible. 🧪🌏🌾 plantecomodelling.org/downloads/E-...

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

Super nice to see Martijn's work featured as editor's highlight on EOS!

Does anyone else have problems submitting an abstract for #EGU25? I contacted the Copernicus Office for support, but am curious if it's just me or a larger issue...

Best wishes for 2025! Ours started great with fresh snow and family fun 😄

🚨 #AGU2024 alert! Come check out work from the @manzonilab.bsky.social with #HoliSoils data. @danielaguasconi.bsky.social presents our joint work on the relationships between microbial diversity and soil respiration in managed forests. Starts at 4:10 pm in room 149A-B, session B34A. See you there!

Our lab made it to Bluesky! Welcome, and we hope to see some of you in Stockholm next year for the upcoming Swedish Oikos meeting. It's in the beautiful museum of natural history! More info 👇

Many people take "non-traditional" career paths in academia. My Leading Edge colleagues and I did! We wrote for PLOS Biology about how non-linear careers are increasingly common, but funding agencies and search committees penalize these paths. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Can we disentangle climate and microbial diversity effects on soil respiration? Daniela Guasconi and I showed our first insights from the #HoliSoils project at the #BolinDays organised by @bolincentre.bsky.social). Exciting two day event with climate scientists from different disciplines!

I'm learning about non-linear multiple regression and mixed effects models in #R. What are your preferred packages and functions? Any recommended reading?

This week I attended the fantastic #HoliSoils annual project meeting in Freising. The wonderful people, two site visits, posters and keynote presentations gave a great overview of the sites, management/disturbance types, and tremendous amount of measurements. Looking forward to analysing the data!

Here's what I do according to my scholar profile. Something with models, carbon and water, soils and plants. With my new project, to be followed by the link with microbial diversity. Exciting times :)

My beautiful new workplace at Stockholm University! The building looks a bit dark in the morning, but what a warm welcome I received. It felt great to meet everyone in person. I can't wait to submit my PhD thesis and prepare to move our family to Sweden over the next few weeks.

So true! #AcademicSky

With both problems & solutions clearly identified, there is little excuse not to act. It is now on stakeholders to take urgent measures to [...] prevent the continued use of public funding to perpetuate sexism and harassment doi.org/10.1038/s415... (what a depressing plot 😧⬇️)

I'm looking for a Scientific Programmer/Data Scientist to work on a wide diversity of research projects, applying machine learning and data assimilation methods for modelling climate impacts on ecosystems ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jo...

New to bluesky! After a social media break, I want to reconnect with fellow scientists/individuals who write about (soil) biogeochemistry, mechanistic modeling, ecophysiology, women in STEM, R, volleyball, parents in academia, ... , . Following suggestions are welcome!
