Reindeer not only eat plants, they also change what's happening in the soil. Reindeer induce lateral, vertical & functional shifts in root traits, alongside a more extreme soil microclimate, disproportionately affecting ericoids. doi.org/10.1002/oik.... #Reindeer #RootTraits #Microclimate #Ecology

Images from our Minirhizotron setup at Oulanka National Park to look at roots. So many fungi growing belowground. Fanning exploration, tight root wrapping symbiosis, areal flushing, or polygonal networks. Anyone wanna train a CNN to auto-detect and classify them? #mycorrhiza #fungi #minirhizotron

Europe is experiencing intense heat, increasing water stress for plants and soils. Our results suggest future droughts under elevated CO₂ and warming may be substantially more severe than today. Happy to have contributed to this work. Maud Tissink et al.: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Without the right question, answers are hopeless. Better methods matter! This preprint nails what we are missing. What if your drought shifts variability, not mean? What if temperature swings, not averages predicts the outcome? Model it, here is how: doi.org/10.32942/X2W...

Throwback to our last summer field campaign in Northeast Finland. Happy to host my phenomenal Finnish colleagues now here in Umeå and really dig into the topic of plant-root-methane-hydrology. Thanks to Eeva Järvi-Laturi and Kaisa Säkkinen and everyone else. It was truly a joyful summer.

The soil is providing food & water, but how to monitor what’s going on in the ground without destroying it? Our answer: sounds. Listen to Jonatan Klaminder as he explains it all from 1:07:00 until 1:37:00 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LcR... The automated subtitles in English are 👌 #acoustics #science

"Priority effects were common and strong" - a fantastic study demonstrating how plant growth and the arrival order of a plant is linked to it's competitiveness. Great stuff! doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

Priority effects can be explained by competitive traits
Priority effects, the effects of early-arriving species on late-arriving species, are caused by niche preemption and/or niche modification. The strength of priority effects can be determined by the e...
