GRADCATCH

GradCatch project will study the effects of climate change on soil microorganisms along altitudinal, latitudinal and aridity gradients. Project @BiodiversaPlus

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.

Aridity doesn’t shape soil functions but does change microbial community composition? 🤔 Check out my poster (PS2.26.002) on Tuesday, 16:30h at #ISME19 for the details! 🙌🏼 @ISME_microbes @IEA_UdG @GRECO_UdG @gradcatch

⛰️ 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

work in progress by Eloi Gibert @egibxrt and Àgueda Pélaz with @gradcatch samples

⛰️Mountains cover over 25% of our planet, harboring biodiversity hotspots and mitigating climate change.

🔎Look into projects like #FishME (aquatic ecosystems), #RangeX (plant expansions), and #GRADCATCH (soil microorganisms), which focus on mountain regions!

Our PhD student @aannadomenech won the 3rd prize 🏆 in the contest "Thesis in 4 Minuts", organized by @univgirona.
Anna talked about the relationship between Climate Change and the decomposition of organic matter, measured through tea bags degradation 🍵 Congrats Anna!

[Anna Doménech-Pascual @aannadomenech]

Molt contenta d'haver participat en la Tesi en 4 Minuts de la @univgirona, amb la meva presentació "Una tassa de te contra el canvi climàtic". I sobretot també d'obtenir el 3r premi!!!🥉
Gràcies a tots, vaig a celebrar-ho fent-me un te 😌🍵

Today testing CO2 amb CH4 accumulation rates in soil cores.
@gradcatch @IEA_UdG @BiodiversaPlus. No real calculations yet 🤭, but it looks like the more severe the drought has been the higher the rate increase after rewetting. mRNA work will tell who is doing the job 🦠

[Xingguo Han @HanXingguo]

Super excited to present the results on GHG emissions and microbial activities in soils from Swiss alps, part of @gradcatch project, @BiodiversaPlus @WSL_research , at @ Swiss microbial ecology meeting @supsi_ch in the Italian (Ticino) part of Switzerland.😜🤪

[GRADCATCH @gradcatch]

At half of the journey @gradcatch, first meeting in person in the @univgirona with interesting discussions 🙌🏼 let's keep working on it!

Super nice to collect the tea bags and ibutton with @HanXingguo and Jonathan Donhauser after one year from the German site between Hannover and Göttingen, which is part of the European gradient @gradcatch @BiodiversaPlus @WSL_research. And lots of fun to Camp afterwards😜

[GRADCATCH @gradcatch]

Happy to be back in Piz Umbrail after 1 yr for @BiodiversaPlus with @FrossardAline @HanXingguo from @WSL_research , and @JB_Ramond and his students from Chile. Nice to see soil cores are still there, and microbes ate sponge and tea under cold! 🏔️🦠

[GRADCATCH @gradcatch]

Time to start @gradcatch @BiodiversaPlus sampling along Swiss altitudinal gradient. First site at Lausanne from LWF sites @WSL_research, now heading to Swiss Alps⛰️ (Val Müstair) with @FrossardAline @JB_Ramond @HanXingguo and colleagues from Chile. Looking forward to the sampling

[Xingguo Han @HanXingguo]

First time at #ISME18 to show our very interesting results of GHG fluxes and microbial functions in alpine soils from @gradcatch @BiodiversaPlus @WSL_research. So happy to meet lots of old friends!

[Xingguo Han @HanXingguo]

The best to do in summer?
👉#ISME18 conference @ISME_microbes
⛰️field sampling in Swiss Alps @gradcatch @BiodiversaPlus @WSL_research
Very much looking forward!

[Xingguo Han @HanXingguo]

Done ✅ with Spanish aridity gradient sampling campaign with amazing colleagues @aannadomenech @jpcasasruiz @IEA_UdG . 🚗now time for European latitudinal gradient ➡️French sites at #Montpellier and #Grenoble @gradcatch @BiodiversaPlus @WSL_research

[Anna Doménech-Pascual @aannadomenech]

PhD sampling campaign finished!! ✨ So glad with all the work done... Thanks @HanXingguo and @jpcasasruiz to make this possible (and more enjoyable) 🙌🏼

With today's work we have finished the most southern sampling point in Spain 📍It is amazing to collect our samples (that have been there for a year) with these amazing views. Thanks to EEZA (@CSIC) for your help and hospitality. #DesiertoTabernas
