Great to see stress gradient hypothesis and it’s contribution to ecological theory revisited!

Very excited to harvest our first ever experiment combining arbuscular and ectomycorrhizal 🌱🌲White Briza roots, brown pine root tip and ECM hyphae everywhere 🤩 European Research Council (ERC)

Native arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungi play an important role in #grassland succession, but a changing environment may alter this role as #plant response is context-dependent Reb Bryant 🌾 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

I spent around 5 hours exploring EcM with the small microscope and taking pictures. it feels like it’s better not to start otherwise you will end up with 500 pics😂

Exciting new and deeper look into coordination between above- and belowground traits! 🥳@EleonoraBeccari and Carlos Perez Carmona

It really is pretty fantastic to see the first paper of two (!!!!) of my PhD students out! So proud of Eileen Enderle and Fangbin Hou 🤩 Drought impacts on plant-soil feedback are species specific, and root traits predict PSF but not how drought affects it. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Many crops lose their reliance on #AMF during domestication, but we found a novel #perennial grain is becoming MORE responsive to AMF. Work by Tom McKenna, Liz Koziol Jared Crain @crews1859 Ben Sikes, Lee DeHaan and Jim Bever The Land Institute nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pp…

Soil microbial response to extreme events across Europe - some core responses are in common but depends a lot on where the soil comes from! This was a huge effort from the core team, so happy to see it out ! 👏

It was so nice to step out of daily routine and spend a few days visiting Universität Bern, @WSL_research and Universität Tübingen! Looking forward to new interactions that might spring up from there @MadhavPT1984 Allan Ecology Group Irene Cordero

Can trees exchange carbon via a wood wide web? Might they communicate through underground fungal networks? Researchers looked at transfer of carbon from trees to nearby fungi. The reality is more nuanced: uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?i…, research New Phytologist: doi.org/nvjx

How much can host identity drive AM fungal assembly in roots? 🌾 We found sorghum is more selective in fostering fungal partners that provide more benefit; wheat’s fungal community assembly is more random and provides fewer benefits. Out in Functional Ecology ! doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

On the other side of the continent but in perfect synchrony 😅, we also have #barley varieties growing testing soil legacies with Anna Plant Ecology UT Kadri Koorem 🌾

Expert's Dilemma: the more specialized you become, the less open you are to creative solutions from other fields. But the more you explore other fields, the more you risk losing credibility in your home field. Interdisciplinary work is still not really embraced by academia.

Can 19th-century land use still influence today’s grasslands? Our research suggests it can—though the effects are subtle! Led by Gabri Midolo, our new article in Landscape Ecology explores how historical land use shapes the plant composition of current grasslands. We studied
