Super excited that my YouTube channel 'Life in academia' just hit 10 K subscribers!!!! Thanks for watching and for hitting that subscribe button y'all! 🥳 #AcademicChatter #phdchat

@plant_holobiont For sure a central question in soil ecology!

@Janx_on_solana Yep. Exactly, that tops my list.

@ChristianSchob Yes, I agree.

Soil microbiome inoculation and microbial community coalescence

ICYMI Why you can't have it all in experiments in ecology

Soil ecology walk number 3 is online: why is there sometimes no snow under trees. Come along on this short walk and find out.

In addition to working on her doctorate in our team, @RRongstock is also managing the biodiversity strategy of Freie Universität Berlin. This article (in German) is an interview with Rebecca.

RT @jaytlennon: "A game of life with dormancy": @RSocPublishing

New paper out (open access): Hormesis as a Hidden Hand in Global Environmental Change? We discuss how low-dose effects of a wide range of environmental pollutants could affect responses to global change; with team members Mohan Bi and Anika Lehmann

@cesarmarin203 Yes, the whole story makes a lot of sense. The disturbance here is the antibiotic. So I guess it's too much if most bacteria die.

@turnersophiegrn Yes, I'm sure. 🙂

Soil ecology walk #2 is online. I talk about necromass vs. biomass as I walk through snow-covered Berlin

@cesarmarin203 Glad this resonated with you. I think it is fundamentally important.

Shaw et al. in Nature Global meta-analysis shows action is needed to halt genetic diversity loss

Check our paper introducing the concept of microbial community coalescence from 10 years ago in @Trends_Ecol_Evo Why is this important? it makes outcomes a lot harder to predict. Interchange of entire communities: microbial community coalescence
