📍HoliSoils Project 🇪🇺 WP5 experimental site in Romania (Dumbrăvița). Usual design (control, thinning & clear-cut) but very dense understory vegetation. The soil looks less compact (effect on microorganisms, microfauna, mesofauna?) and the macrofauna community seems very diverse!

N'hésitez pas à venir à la Brasserie Zoumai pour discuter de "La biodiversité sous vos pieds" et de nos thèses avec Claire Ménival & Lola Czuckermand. Tentez aussi de remporter un prix lors d'un quizz 🏆Au plaisir de vous y retrouver ! 📍Marseille, 4 juillet 19-21h IMBE

Very glad to have presented soil biodiversity, in forests and in the cities with Claire Ménival & Lola Czuckermand. We looked at what people thought were macrofauna: majority (ants & spiders) but also some funny answers (lichen, fish and champion organisms...!) IMBE

📢 #NewArticle 🤓 Excited to share the first baby of my thesis in Wiley Ecology & Evolution 📖 Find out how resource quality shapes carrying capacity and gain insight into unexpected foraging strategies of #Collembola 🚨 Check out the insights #OpenAccess 👉🏽dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

How does oak deal with drought? Laoué et al. compared leaf physiological and physico-chemical trait responses of the tree under natural drought and partial rain exclusion in natura for 10 years 👉doi.org/10.1111/tpj.16… Justine Laoué Wiley Plant Science SEB @sebiology.bsky.social

Early morning at the WP4 HoliSoils Project 🇪🇺 study site, Saint Mitre-les-Remparts, where the harvesting of litterbags (+2 years, already!) and the measurement of soil respiration has begun. You can clearly see everything covered with pine litter from the year that has just fallen 🌲

Some myriapods found in small quantities in our mesofauna samples collected on a WP4 HoliSoils Project 🇪🇺 site: symphyla (less than 12 pairs of legs, not a chilopod) and pauropods (about 1mm long and easily identifiable with their segmented antennae *complex to photograph) IMBE

Next week #BES2023 will see a whole host of talks and posters from projects associated with HoliSoils Project 🇪🇺! I'm first up on Wednesday at 4pm talking about our ongoing umbrella review looking at the impacts of precipitation changes on forest soils

In the poster session (poster 15.5) on Wednesday at 6 pm you can catch the great Claire Ménival, also from IMBE, who has a poster about the impacts of forest management on spider communities in a Mediterranean oak forest. #BES2023

Charlotte Biryol gave a nice talk on the impact of #thinning, understory #management and #drought on #nematode community in #Mediterranean #forest 🪱🌳💧 #BES2023

The preprint of our HoliSoils Project 🇪🇺 meta-analysis is now on @EcoEvoRxiv in which we show that the impacts of precipitation changes on soil and litter fauna abundance in forests depends on the magnitude of precipitation changes and body size. ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vie…

📣 A new #HoliSoils publication is out! Charlotte Biryol, Thierry Gauquelin, Virginie Baldy, Mathieu Santonja & colleagues studied the interactive effects of #soil moisture, air temperature & litter nutrient diversity on microbial communities! Read it ➡️ doi.org/10.1111/oik.10…

Our meta-analysis on the impacts of precipitation change on soil invertebrates in forests is out now in Global Change Biology! Headline: Abundance is reduced by drought and increased by increased rainfall, but this depends on the size of the organisms. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Very happy to talk about #soilbiodiversity in a kindergarten in Ville de Marseille with Lola Czuckermand and Salomé Coquin Observing #soilfauna, drawing them and painting their habitat! At the age of 5, 4 children already want to become #soil ecologists! The next generation is secured! 😎

On the creepy crawly critter beat as usual: my latest for NYT Climate is about the millions tiny soil creatures that help to lock away planet-warming carbon, and what'll happen to them. “Soil has been like a black box, and we’re now starting to open it.” nytimes.com/2024/05/24/cli…

Amazing to see our recent HoliSoils Project 🇪🇺 paper in Global Change Biology get a fantastic write-up in the The New York Times today! It was a completely unexpected, but lovely surprise. Thanks Sofia Quaglia for the great job! If you want more details on the study, find them here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
