Your results may have taken years, but your title gets only seconds. Spend more time per word on the title than on any other part of the manuscript, followed by the abstract. Most readers will never reach the full paper. #SciComm 🧪🗺️

Comment les communautés d’arbres façonnent le fonctionnement souterrain des forêts européennes
Ce qui profite aux arbres en surface ne profite pas toujours au réseau trophique souterrain, peuplé de microbes et d’une faune détritivore, herbivore ou carnivore.

Il se passe énormément de choses qui échappent à nos yeux dans les sols des forêts. De la matière et de l’énergie y sont transférés en permanence entre différents organismes. Comment les essences d’arbres présentes dans une forêt influencent-elles ces processus ?
Représentation du réseau trophique du sol. Des flèches représentant des flux d'énergie relient différents types d'organisme (insectes, nématodes, cloportes, champignons, plantes...) et forment un réseau complexe.
