Looking forward to speaking at the EGU Soil System Science Campfire: Soils under change on March 25. I’ll present “Living dry: microbial physiology under drought”, sharing insights from climate manipulation experiment on how soil microbes reorganize under drought. Join us online: lnkd.in/dw8UisRn

New co-author paper out in New Phytologist, collaboration with many wonderful people from the University of Vienna and more, lead by Kian Jenab and Christina Kaiser. We explored long-term nutrient deficiency on arbuscular mycorrhizal communities. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal families and exploration‐based guilds exhibit distinct responses to long‐term N, P and K deficiencies and imbalances

Many agroecosystems face nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K) deficiencies due to imbalanced or insufficient nutrient replenishment after biomass harvest. How this affects the symbiosis bet.....

Feeling very grateful for an incredible month in the lab at the University of Bologna. We had the pleasure of hosting @petehomyak.bsky.social, organized inspiring Winter School lectures by @andreasrichter.bsky.social and Francesca Cotrufo, celebrated a newly accepted paper, and — most excitingly

Do you study soil microbes and their response to climate change? Consider presenting your research at #EGU25 at our session SSS4.5, which is in its 5th year. I hope to see you in Vienna!

I am trying to do exactly this going forwards, including prioritising who I do reviews for. Some lovely people at Montpellier created a database of non-profit and society journals in eco evo: dafnee.isem-evolution.fr

I wrote (ranted) on experimental design as I was frustrated as an editor at how little guidance students were getting. I underestimated the interest in the issue: it has been downloaded 10,000+ times! Clearly it’s something we need to be talking about more. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Principles of experimental design for ecology and evolution

Here I argue that we do not discuss experimental design, often until it is too late. This editorial seeks to begin a conversation about how and where to replicate appropriately.

This was a short-term experiment, but what we really need in ecology is long-term experiments that test these mechanisms in the field. In the current academic system this is pretty much impossible. (11/x)

I think also a great thank you to the reviewers, especially reviewer number 2 (what a cliché), as they pointed out many things that needed improvement for the publication! Can't wait for all the other things that are still coming out from this method!
