#BIOCOMP Japan A surprising meet-up in Bavarian Forest National Park, Germany. @akkym.bsky.social Thank you to Shiretoko National Park, the scientists and field assistants who made this experiment possible. FYI, Bavarian Forest National Park is also home to one of the #BIOCOMP sites in Germany.

Our climate‑warming experiment on wood‑decomposing fungi is finally running! Testing how different wood decomposing fungi populations respond to warming—thanks to the new climate chambers at TU Dresden Tharandt.

#BIOCOMP Module 2 is now set up in Spain. Logs are in place, nature takes over, and fresh data is on the horizon. Module 2 examines fungi-insect interactions and their effects on wood decomposition across different climatic zones. P.C. @sebseibold.bsky.social

We had a productive and fun-filled discussion on the future of #BIOCOMP at Bavarian Forest National Park. Photo courtsey: 1. @shamikroy.bsky.social 2. @urban-sci.bsky.social 3, 4. @jiayunzou.bsky.social

End-of-year thrill! TU Dresden's Tharandt campus now has 5 state-of-the-art climate chambers to power our BIOCOMP module 3 experiment. Huge thanks to the EU & Freistaat Sachsen via EFRE InfraProNet for funding "KlimaWald - Aufbau klimastabiler Waldökosysteme"!

BIOCOMP MOD 2 Experiment Update! We placed fifty 50 cm logs in a German site. After four months, the bark on several logs has slipped off! This rapid debarking signals active bark beetle and some vertebrates activities.

Prof. Akira Mori and his group, who manage the #BIOCOMP Japan site, visited us in Dresden last week. Thank you so much, Prof. Mori. #1: Traditional German dinner #2: Hike in Saxon Switzerland National Park #3: After an intense discussion on what's next in BIOCOMP

Throwback to when we set up our very first ever BIOCOMP plot in Germany — muddy boots and big ideas! Two years later, the journey continues — decomposers still at work #BIOCOMP ISA

Uncertainty or stochasticity is the norm in fieldwork. Everything can be planned, but nature has its own way. Our natural forest site in Germany was destroyed by a wild boar attack last January. However, thanks to the local foresters, we could replace it quickly, now well protected. #BIOCOMP ISA

This year, we started a new experiment as part of BIOCOMP studying interactions between insects and fungi in deadwood, especially vectoring, and their effects on decomposition. The first site in Germany has been set up, and some model insect species have moved into their new homes.
