Belated update from the Ecotron ResCUE experiment 🌱 The first sampling after 6 weeks of drought is completed 🌞, now we're waiting for 6 weeks of recovery to sample again. 🌧️ Let's see how plant functional diversity shapes the communities' resistance! 📏🏋️‍♂️

🌱 #Fieldwork days at The Jena Experiment - @jena-experiment.bsky.social! Scanning roots with a minirhizotron, tracking seasonal changes & traits, plus plant surveys & soil checks. Led by PhD candidate Srijna Saxena with support from Tom Künne. Can’t wait to see what the data reveal! #RootTraits
