2. The other will work on agroforestry systems and mycorrhizal fungi (lab / field), more information here: https://t.co/CLD8IBTUTM
Intended start for both: January 2025.

!!Job offer!!
We are looking for 2 technical assistants for our ecophysiology group @JKI_Bund.
1. One will work on the potential of tailocin producing bacteria to fight fireblight disease in fruit trees (lab); more information here: https://t.co/7neG2nXjhR

A new study @NatureEcoEvo led by @XiaojuanLiu3 shows: Plant diversity can affect ecosystem functioning directly and by affecting other trophic levels. Data was derived from subtropical forests at the BEF China experiment as well as temperate grasslands @jena_experiment.

PhD candidate vacancy in our group: come work with us on fungal compounds as herbicide alternatives https://t.co/76AeMnpVpU

Roughly 4000 poplars, 200 currant shrubs, plus summer barley, mycorrhizal inoculant and some hundred meters of fence later, we’ve finished setting up 2 new agroforestry systems for the KlimAF project @JKI_Bund . And the plants are starting to grow

@_A_H_B_ @jena_experiment @EisenhauerLab @agwirthweigelt Yes, 2nd PhD chapter finally published! 🎉 Big thanks to everyone else involved @HenneckeJustus @MarcSolArt Leonardo Bassi, @GRvanderPloeg @jena_experiment

Biodiversity stabilizes productivity. Check ☑️ Biodiversity also increases ecosystem multifunctionality. Check ☑️ But does biodiversity also increase the stability of multifunctionality? Spoiler: yes! Our latest study @GlobalChangeBio: https://t.co/diveOINyr3

[The Wirth-Weigelt Working Group @agwirthweigelt]

The first chapter of our PhD student Leonardo Bassi is now published in @Oikos_Journal! We show that declining monoculture biomass over time (18 years!) is linked with root traits of the collaboration gradient and an aboveground trade-off in physical vs chemical defence.

Calling all myconauts: 99.99% of the Earth’s terrestrial surface remains under-explored for mycorrhizal fungal biodiversity.

I had a great time at #iMMM2023 the last days. Thank you @dromius for organising this lovely opportunity to nerd about mycorrhiza

[Sebastian Schornack @dromius]

#iMMM2023 it’s now Cynthia Albracht with data showing that ‘Soil history rather than plant history determines arbuscular mycorrhizal community assembly’

[Cynthia Albracht @cyn_alb]

What I presented yesterday at #NWOLife has also just recently been published: https://t.co/6gQDjX3Inf

[Elly Morrien (@morrienelly.bsky.social) @MorrienElly]

#NWOLife day 2 track Life and Planet @cyn_alb presents her work on extended summer drought effects of plant biodiversity and AMF communities. Especially, AMF competition with legumes seem to play a major role @SILS_UvA

[Nan Zhang @NanZhang_]

#GSB2023 Super surprised and excited to get the poster prize by @FEMSmicro @theGSBI I receive a lot of encouragement and have great connections. Such a fantastic conference!!! Same as our fantastic (GSB)group! @MorrienElly @frantecol @FangbinH @MariGliesch @cyn_alb

[Cynthia Albracht @cyn_alb]

Interested in how arbuscular mycorrhizal communities change in response to plant diversity and soil history? Come see me at my poster (P162) at #GSB2023 to see some nice results from the @jena_experiment
