Peatland ecologists focus on decomposition, biogeochemistry, functions and disturbances. Mom of a bog dog. @lukefinlandint

In real life, the snow cover your tracks in few minutes and you do not want to go outside without thick merino long johns. 2/2

In #shrubC project we study shrub-peat interactions in peatlands. In one experimental study we grow shrubs in the lab to have full control over environmental factors. In the lab it is early-June and +20C. 1/2

To have a boggy/doggy sense to bring some inspiration, I ordered myself a new mouse mat. The best spend money ever (my own, not project).

About the last moments to pick Eriophorum and mosses for an experiment. #WinterIsComing or should we say #WinterIsHere

Getting ready for the last field trip of the year in #ShrubC project. Trying to find the right mood by labeling the sample bags in this virtual nature room at the Joensuu office of @LukeFinlandInt

A kind reminder during the field season, do the tick check daily and get yourself vaccined for TBE. If you find a nasty ass tick attach, observe the spot and go to visit a doctor in case of symptoms of borreliosis appear.

The collaboration with @johannesrousk and @LetticeHicks at Lund commensed on the best time of the year: Spring. Soon we know how/if #fungal and #bacterial #growthrates or #MCUE differs between shrubs. And so much more...

Despite the silence things are happening in #ShrubC funded by @SuomenAkatemia. Shrub babies groving on the parking lot. @LukeFinlandInt

Had a chance to enjoy professor @RaijaLaiho, the PI of this project, company in the field. Though, she focused on weeding invase species instead of collecting shrubs besides giving intellectual view points.

The slight fear that rises when it looks like this and you are preparing chemicals for the soil samples you plan to take next week. Are they referred winter or spring samples? #ShrubC

[MariKönönen @MariKononen]

This goes high on my reading list! It's fascinating how bogs archive the victims of crimes - or was it just a misstep?
Once I found something "different" from a bog. Luckily, it turned out to be a half-decomposed banana peel. #notapaleobostanist #bogbody

Tuoreen Helsingin yliopiston suometsätieteiden professorin, Annamari Laurénin, haastattelu on virkistävän neutraali & asiapitoinen aikana, jolloin soiden käyttöön liittyvä keskustelu on painottunut arvoilla eikä informaatiolla

Since 2017 I have: lived on an island with negligible internet connection, been frequently unemployed, given up, and worked on 4 different institutes in 3 different countries. Does #mariekondo have methods to control the apeshit chaos my folders and references are at the now?

[MariKönönen @MariKononen]

Up to date information of the state of World's peatlands, how are they doing and what could be done for them. Amazing work from hundreds of peatland researchers.

[Dianna Kopansky @DiannaKopansky]

We did it! #PeatlandsMatter @UNEP thanks to the expertise of more than 225 contributors 💚 so grateful @andersen_inger @iki_germany @BMUV @BMZ_Bund @MinamPeru @SitiNurbayaLHK @a_dohong @SimonLLewis @greifswaldmoor @samerelshehawi @RamsarConv @unepwcmc @FAO +++🤩🥳💚

Perfect day to end the field work for this year. The bog dog loved it too.

Homo sapiens, thanks for the climate change that postponed winter enough to get the decomposition study all set before the winter. Mother Nature, normally I'm on your side. Let it snow! #shrubC #peatland #decomposition

Sometimes doing research is worse than wrestling with your demons, sometimes your work allows you to follow an amazing acrobatic wrestling show. #LukeMEETs
