How is soil functioning shaped by aridity? 🌲🌵 We studied this along a natural aridity gradient.
📌 Microbial structure shifted with aridity, but soil functions were mainly driven by local soil properties.

Huge thanks to all coauthors 🫶 @gradcatch
@CrowtherLab@TWCrowther I still remember the presentation I gave in @CrowtherLab, which I got many constructive and helpful suggestions. And now we have a manuscript out together!!! I really appreciate and love the time spent together with them! (3/3)
I knew @CrowtherLab since 2018 when I was doing my PhD in another lab close by. I passed by their lab everyday, and was always amazed by the atmosphere when they were in deep mining of scientific discussions. Then I jumped in and was well welcomed by the group (1/3)
This can only lead to the so many group meetings, seminars and PhD defenses which I was very much welcomed to attend. Really appreciated! @CrowtherLab@TWCrowther (2/3)
I have been working in the Crowther Lab for more than a year as a visiting PhD student and have collaborated extensively with Tom during this time. The lab’s warm and supportive environment has been invaluable to both my research and personal growth.
During my professional internship at @Restor_eco, it was really impressive to see the efforts Restor has made to connect worldwide collaborators of ecological restoration.
You never know how fantastic and amazing it has been to work with someone who you know very well!!
Just let you know you’re never alone. You did amazing job and you’re a charming colleague and friend. #ETHZurich
New work that I find super interesting from our @ETH_SoilRes Daniel Wasner in @GlobalChangeBio:
Crucial to consider Environment AND microbial community composition in macroscale soil organic carbon dynamics as both explain different (decoupled) parts of the #soil C Cycle!
⛰️ How does mountain soils impact #ClimateChange?
@gradcatch (#BiodivClim) links greenhouse gas emissions with altitude, soil microbes and organic matter. The tipping point: Treeline!

Check out our latest publication @Geoderma_Jrnl on the significant role of soil organic matter quantity and composition in driving microbial activities and greenhouse gas fluxes in Swiss mountains @gradcatch . Thanks to all the co-authors: https://t.co/kzbsutUDTJ
How do microbes control carbon storage in pioneer soils?
Arctic glaciers ❄️ are melting faster 🌡️ & ice retreat exposes vast new landscapes 🏔️
In @PNASNews we found that fungal basidiomycete yeasts promote C stabilization in new soils 🦠

Excited to share my first published paper on how drought affects microbial decomposition of woody stems in a saline stream! 🌿📜 Check it out! 👇 @GRECO_UdG@IEA_UdG@DryHarsh
