Congratulation to José Ángel for defending his PhD!! Great work on CO2, H2O and energy fluxes of agroforestry systems. Ivan Mammarella (Uni Helsinki) and Annette Menzel (TU Munich) joined as external examiners. Afterwards we had the traditional walk to the Gänse Liesel fountain in the city center.

Happy to announce we’ve set up a new eddy covariance flux tower at a forest restoration site in the Harz Mountains. The area was clear-cut after a bark beetle outbreak and reforested with broadleaves. A unique opportunity to investigate ecosystem fluxes and forest resilience across recovery stages.

Peatlands are under pressure due to ongoing degradation, pushing the global biome from net sink to source. At #DBG2025 in Tübingen, we demonstrated how vegetation shifts affect carbon fluxes of a mountain peatland and outlined methods to downscale ecosystem methane fluxes to the plant-species scale.

Paper alert! Drollinger et al. show that shorter, more intense rain events in European beech forests shrink throughfall and amplify moisture patchiness, gradually loosening hydrological links and altering Critical Zone function. Link: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... #Hydrology #Climate
