Me trying to scare out roots to get this experiment going! 👻 Oh look, it worked 😆 Also the s-shaped thingy in the middle of roots is not a root - sorry I scared you, buddy 😅 University of Tartu with Ivika Ostonen #root #ecology #rhizosphere

Professor Ivika Ostonen showing us how to catch a big bog-fish (in Latin Ingrowth'icus core'us) 💪

Finally, after a year of writing and computering I am happy to even pick absorptive root tips from a couple of samples 🌲🤓😆

Great thanks to Dr. Hyungwoo Lim for showing us microdialysis set up! This new method of collecting #root exudates will be tested out in our growth chamber experiment starting already next week🤓 Ivika Ostonen @AliyaSultonova Marili Sell University of Tartu

Excited to be part of FutureScapes! RootEcology Lab contributes to integrating belowground carbon and biodiversity linkages into sustainable land use approaches. Looking forward to exciting cooperation Landscape Geoinformatics Landscape Biodiversity Lab @KasakKuno Kadri Runnel et al

Check out how subarctic grasslands communities adapt to soil warming -biomass of roots and rhizomes is main driver in medium term, while NSC concentration in long term, though species-specific response is a different story😊 FutureArctic-ITN Biplabi University of Tartu link below

The open conference of FutureScapes started with Ivika Ostonen introducing the research of our team and the future contribution to this center of excellence! More information at futurescapes.ee

We are at the CLEANFOREST COST Action annual meeting in Portugal☀️working on resilient forest monitoring. The exciting excursion to the Companhia das Lezírias showed the many study areas for ecology issues and sustainable cork oak forest management🌳 University of Tartu Ivika Ostonen Marili Sell

A insightful article about "Adapting to climate change: responses of fine root traits and C exudation in five tree species with different light-use strategy" by Marili Sell @GristinRohulaOkunev @PriitKupper Ivika Ostonen University of Tartu

Happy new academic year!!! We are welcoming our new PhD student Victoria Boycheva and also hello to our tiny new generation scientist 😍 Go #womenpower 💪

Incredible activity in belowground! Spruce root growth and soil fauna activity in two months. Scanners system set up by Raivo Metsvaht video by Marili Sell Ivika Ostonen Marian Klaus FutureScapes University of Tartu Stay tuned, more videos coming soon!😉

We had a great time engaging with young students at the Research Groups Fair, introducing our RootLab experiments and highlighting the importance of the belowground world! We're looking forward to motivated students to join us and find their thesis topics! 😊

Wishing you a joyful holiday season from all of us!!! 🎄
