Mature beech trees redistributed soil water, equal to ca. 10% of stand #transpiration, from deeper moist #soils to dry surface soils, where it was taken up by seedlings of different #tree species. New #hydraulicredistribution paper with @Benjamin_DHesse: https://t.co/xA7TpUfIsi

We recently published our experiment on #climate #change impacts on #C #N cycling in biocrust-soil systems🦠🔍Curious about the work that goes into such a study? Here are some behind-the-scenes insights! 🧵Thread below, let's go!⤵️

Final PhD paper out now in @GlobalChangeBio, where we show the fundamental role of #biocrusts in regulating soil C cycles in #drylands, and how some of the most essential #biogeochemical #processes are diminished under #climate #change @Nardaluu @CarstenWMueller (see link below)

A long journey, but finally we could publish the results of 5 years of repeated summer drought on water use and underlying acclimation processes in mature beech and spruce in @STOTEN_journal. #KROOF @Ecophys_TUM

Glad to see our work on root legacy effects on soil aggregation and organic matter formation out now in @SoilBiolBiochem - exploring the #rhizosphere to #detritusphere transition in dryland soils. More to come.

[Ines Münchinger @IMuenchinger]

💡Today at the Vienna Children's University #KinderUni, kids got to explore the wonders of plants in our program "Root Miracles and Leaf Secrets“ at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna #BOKU. They learned about what plants eat, breathe, drink, and feel.

🚀 #GreenSleeveProject Update:

We've made great progress on our custom gas-exchange chamber for measuring CO2 and O2 concentrations in tree stems!
Just a few tests left before we start our measurements. 🌳

And another exciting paper published by @k_witzgall on soil aggregation and formation driven by living and decaying roots. Great work and great collaboration!

How it all started vs how it's going... In the end, the tragic looking prototype turned into a gas sampling system adapted to capture #CO2 fluxes in arid #biocrust systems. Thank you so much to everyone involved!
