Namibias berühmte Feenkreise entstehen dadurch, dass frisch gekeimte Gräser durch Wassermangel im Feenkreis verkümmern. Das haben Forschende unserer Uni und der @bengurionu herausgefunden. https://t.co/lYVg7h2W67 und https://t.co/6JKmHa36V9
What explains the mystery of Namibia’s #FairyCircles? Researchers show plant water stress causes the curious, circular, bald patches in the dry grasslands as illustrated here by @bauhaus_uni. Find out more: https://t.co/WjQ468yWyT, research: https://t.co/wlt6VtyypD @ELSenviron
Here is our new PNAS study on fairy circles. Soil-water diffusion and associated biomass-water feedbacks drive large- and small-scale grass patterns in the Namib.

Do you wonder what #FairyCircles look like close up? And what causes them? It turns out hungry termites are not the culprit! See this short clip: https://t.co/SX8BPxOWIq, or the research @ELSenviron: https://t.co/282wISOfHT or article @nytimes: https://t.co/wVbX0lFkxm
Secrets of Namibia’s Fairy Circles demystified: plants self-organise - https://t.co/AX6MmHoCjJ, https://t.co/282wISOfHT @ELSenviron. This clip shows a researcher at our Uni investigating the death of grasses in #FairyCircles around a week after rainfall: https://t.co/5aDW6oivXE

One of nature’s great mysteries: #FairyCircles. Research in the '70s stated poisons in Euphorbia leaves caused them. Our Uni and @GobabebRSH went back to find the original experiments and, 40 years later, disproved this: https://t.co/kNhqIPjLKb @GetzinStephan ttps://doi.org/ghbb
