The wonderful opening remarks for 2024🎉🎉, the first chapter of my PhD Eisenhauer Lab is published on Journal of Ecology Our results highlight the importance of considering #mycorrhizal types for managing well-functioning mixed-species #forests.🌳🌲🌳#openaccess besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Fantastic news! 🎉 #BreathingNature, led by the excellent trio @JohannesQuaas, Alexandra The Wirth-Weigelt Working Group, and Karin Frank UFZ, is simply an amazing experience that has already brought us so closely together that it is only promising much more to come! 🌿🌍

Thanks @fonsvanderplas for this great keynote talk!

Thanks, Julia Chacón Labella for your keynote talk at the TreeDì Conference iDiv Biodiversity Research - it was great to have you here!

It was a great experience to organise this conference together with Pablo Castro Sánchez-Bermejo and all the other PhD students from TreeDì iDiv Biodiversity Research!

It was great that you enriched TreeDì with new ideas for combining #BEF_research with remote sensing and restoration, and provided a glimpse into TLS and scientific infographics. Thanks to the workshop moderators Meredith Schuman, Gislene Ganade, TamaRay & Pablo Castro Sánchez-Bermejo!

Tree and mycorrhizal fungal diversity affect leaf functional traits in trees! This is what Tilo Monjau, Kezia Goldmann, Olga Ferlian, Nico Eisenhauer (Eisenhauer Lab), Helge Bruelheide, Zeqing Ma Lab, Sylvia Haider and I found in our recent study in Functional Ecology besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

Big congrats to my colleague Karl for successfully defending his PhD thesis The Wirth-Weigelt Working Group on the reciprocal relationship between biodiversity & productivity! 👇Well-deserved recognition for all his hard work! 🏆🥂

🛑New study out🛑 Tree-tree interaction effects on soil respiration at micro-scale by @HenrietteChrstl. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec… w/ Eisenhauer Lab @GeorgHaehn Helge Bruelheide iDiv Biodiversity Research TreeDì 😮 First senior author paper 🙃

Measurement campaign completed: Stomatal conductance of 38 #tree species (27🌳&11🌲) over the course of the day! Which trees close their #stomata when & what does this indicate about their #drought strategy? Curious about the results! The Wirth-Weigelt Working Group iDiv Biodiversity Research #ARBOfun

🌱 Ever felt entangled in feedback loops? Then you've likely encountered the complex dance between plant diversity and productivity! Let's dive into my latest paper in Journal of Ecology, where we tackle this ecological puzzle. 🧵👇 (see also our Journal of Ecology blog post!)

Gaps in the canopy of a mixed #floodplain #forest have a direct effect on forest soil temperature and moisture, according to a study by #UniLeipzig, iDiv Biodiversity Research and Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, published in the journal Science of the Total Environment: uni-leipzig.de/en/newsdetail/…

It's harvest time! In our recent experiment, PhD candidate Srijna Saxena is testing how above- and belowground traits can help to improve our understanding of biodiversity effects on drought resistance and recovery.

"Verlierer sind vor allem die Lebensräume und Arten im Agrar- und Offenland. Gewinner sind Säugetiere und Vögel im Wald und im Wasser", erklärt Prof. Christian Wirth von der #UniLeipzig den heute erschienenen #FaktencheckArtenvielfalt bei der Tagesschau: tagesschau.de/wissen/forschu…

We know that forest diversity influences the trait variation within tree species, so we decided to tell more about these exciting results during the #iDivConference2024 iDiv Biodiversity Research
