Thanks to @matt_mesostig16, Chris Taylor and Henry Birt from Soil Ecology Lab UoM for their fascinating talks yesterday @BiologyEHU. It was great to see you all.

#BES2023 here we go!!! So excited to be back at BES! Come and say hello if you are around 😃. I have a talk at 10:30 today in plant-soil interactions session! Join me if you are interested in learning about microbiomes, drought, land use and plant performance 🌱🍄🦠Soil Ecology Lab UoM

We're excited to be at #BES2023 with lots of presentations from current and former lab members! Check out talks today by Irene Cordero @matt_mesostig16 Yichen Zhou Patrick Möhl & posters by Emma-Lee Peterson & Peng Huang! #ecology #soil

Nice to get a first glimpse into how land use and plant growth strategy affect drought resistance in study by Irene Cordero Soil Ecology Lab UoM #BES2023

*NEW RESEARCH* ‘Elevated CO2 interacts with nutrient inputs to restructure plant communities in phosphorus-limited grasslands’ With Luke England Gareth Phoenix Ben Keane Tori Bassett Jess Davies, Iain Hartley, Simon Smart, Jonathan Leake onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… 1/16

How does defoliation impact #belowground communities and their ability to improve #plant resilience to #drought? New paper led by Tianyang Xu reveals that defoliation can suppress beneficial mycorrhizal fungi-plant interactions under drought! Read it here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Important paper led by @arthurbroadbent Soil Ecology Lab UoM showing that snow removal and shrub encroachment, both consequences of rapid climate change in mountain ecosystems, cause a mismatch between plant and microbial N cycling processes. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

New paper out led by Katie Journeaux reveals a potential #climatechange feedback mechanism where wood decomposing #fungi do not show compensatory thermal responses, allowing for increased #carbon respiration under #warming
