Are soil & vegetation responses to increased/decreased precipitation coupled? You can find out just before lunch today at EGU26! Stefano Manzoni presents our cool and super collaborative research project funded by @bolincentre.bsky.social

Little break from the parental leave silence: Check out our new study led by the amazing @danielaguasconi.bsky.social! We found that integrating microbial diversity information with abiotic drivers enhances the prediction of respiration rates in managed Scots pine forests.

Elisa found that respiration rates scale as the product of organic carbon and microbial biomass, with minimal effects of microbial diversity. This is a cool result, supporting the use of nonlinear kinetics to interpret data at small scales (lab incubation). Great @holisoils.bsky.social team effort!

Key message on management of drained forested peatlands from the @holisoils.bsky.social‬ policy brief below: "Avoiding clearcutting and applying continuous cover forestry on peatlands allows timber production with a higher water level [...], which can reduce GHG emissions"

@mpallandt.bsky.social and I were awarded financial support through the new EGU EDI Participation Support Scheme, to bring our child to #EGU25. This enables EC scientists to attend without monetary punishment for having children and no local support system. I hope more such initiatives will follow!

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

Scientific identity crisis: "So, what do you do?" A simple question, but I struggle to answer after changing fields several times. Am I a vegetation modeller? Soil modeller? Does that then make me a land surface modeller? But my postdoc isn't like that, I'm analysing soil respiration datasets (1/2)

Can we disentangle climate and microbial diversity effects on soil respiration? Daniela Guasconi and I showed our first insights from the #HoliSoils project at the #BolinDays organised by @bolincentre.bsky.social). Exciting two day event with climate scientists from different disciplines!
