Great Keynote talk from @michaeladippold.bsky.social who told us about the diversity of substrates and costs of enzymatic production by microorganisms. Questions from audience lasted long 🥳 It was really a 🔥 topic !

Second keynote in session at #EGU2026 by @nbilyera.bsky.social from @unituebingen.bsky.social: Learning that #AI is very uneducated related to #soil hotspots and that high microbial dynamic in hotspot poses serious challenges on our follow-up studies. Great examples!

🌱⚡🔬#RootStressWeek Drought response of the maize plant–soil–microbiome system is influenced by plant size and presence of root hairs by Roman Hartwig et al. in @annbot.bsky.social #freeaccess article 👉 doi.org/qjpn #RootBiology #PlantStress #RootPhysiology #PlantScience

Drought doesn’t act on plants, soil, or microbes alone. It reshapes the entire plant–soil–microbiome system. Maize with fewer root hairs showed milder drought responses, while wild-type plants increased exudation and triggered stronger microbial shifts, highlighting how root–soil interface traits shape stress propagation and ecosystem responses under water limitation.

"Although the focus of much plant and soil science has been on the return of leaves to the soil both as a stock of C in the soil and as a substrate for soil organisms, root returns to soil are larger than shoot returns in several regions." #Root
