Old tech but still good. Measuring soil microbial basal respiration in soils with and without megaherbivores 🐘 with Smithsonian #soil #carbon #microbes


Beautiful AM-expression-painting by Tania Chancellor from Paszkowski Lab - this is going to let cell biology of AM fungi explode 12th International Conference on Mycorrhiza 2024 #ICOM12


Wonderful to see old ( and new) colleagues at THE conference on all things mycorrhiza #ICOM12 International Mycorrhiza Society


Great if sobering talk at #ICOM12 by Matthias C. Rillig (currently sabbatical @OIST) on the reality of how multiple (vs single) global change factors decrease both plant biomass and arbuscular #mycorrhiza. Innovative experimental design to look at this too. International Mycorrhiza Society Conservation Intl



An important and wonderfully delivered talk by Justin Stewart on estimating (AM) hyphal lengths of the world, with the highest in #grasslands. Part of SPUN vital work to put #mycorrhiza conservation on the map! #ICOM12 12th International Conference on Mycorrhiza 2024 International Mycorrhiza Society Conservation Intl


#Biodiversityhotspots are one way to prioritize conservation but Laura van Galen shows we can't presume plants hotspots are proxies for fungal diversity! #ICOM12 12th International Conference on Mycorrhiza 2024 International Mycorrhiza Society SPUN Conservation Intl



Our paper is out "Grassland albedo as a nature-based climate prospect: the role of growth form and grazing" - congratulations to Steven McGregor on a great job! doi.org/10.1088/1748-9… #Albedo #Grasslands #climateresilience Conservation Intl.-Africa Conservation Intl


New @NComms paper from Plant-Soil Interactions Lab 🥳 Soil carbon's stability under future climate change is uncertain. We challenge current understanding demonstrating how plant inputs interact with soil microbes and soil minerals to determine soil carbon stability nature.com/articles/s4146…
