I had THE BEST time in Abisko, joining @rousklab.bsky.social in helping with their field work, while exploring opportunities to study these amazing tundra ecosystems myself. This was truly the most beautiful and remote environment I have ever been, and I can't wait to come back there!

In SWaN #HarvardForest, we show that #microbes initially accelerate carbon release but then adjust their thermal traits, improving CUE and slowing SOC loss. Microbial #adaptation can buffer soils against long-term carbon loss 🔥🦠
