Nahuel Policelli

Argentinean ecologist and fungi lover, mostly interested in microbial ecology and plant-soil interactions. Cooking, acting and travelling are my other passions

[Nahuel Policelli @nahpo]

I'll be more active here: @nahpo.bsky.social
Looking forward to meeting you all in a safer virtual space -at least for now-

[Ecosphere @ESAEcosphere]

New in our "Microbial Ecology" track!⬇️

[Corinne Vietorisz @crvietorisz]

The first chapter of my dissertation is finally published in @ESAEcosphere! We determined which microbial characteristics best explain nutrient cycling in temperate forests and their importance compared to plant and soil factors 🍄🌱 https://t.co/qi8Cx44BUP @nahpo @k_atherton1

New paper!
I'm particularly excited about it
We know little about mycorrhizal fungi invasions, and our idea was that the few that could do free living, would be better at invading
As often happens in science, we were wrong & learned a lot:)

New paper!
I am excited about it, since it has some very cool contributions on:
-Status of Invasive ectomycorrhizal fungi
-Definition of what is a invasive mycorhizal fungi
-Cool picture of trees being brought from Europe in 1920!

Excited to share a new paper in New Phytologist that I got to work on as part of a field course in pine-fungal co-invasions in Australia led by Jason Hoeksema with a dream team of collaborators. Vietorisz, Nash, Siggers, et al 2025: https://t.co/feXAUe8skE

This year's Southwood Prize for the best article by an early career researcher is awarded to Agostina Torres! 🏅

Below, we'll be discussing Agostina's winning article 'Inverse priority effects: The order and timing of removal of invasive species influence community reassembly'👇

La ciencia libra una batalla más

Junto a 2000 científicos/as, denunciamos ante el BID el uso irregular del préstamo a la Agencia, @agenciaidiar. Su parálisis pone en riesgo todo el sistema científico y nos deja sin futuro.
La salida es con Ciencia, y la defenderemos siempre.

@DanielSalamone @roccocarboneOK @JMilei Como investigador del CONICET me pregunto cómo volverá a su laboratorio alguna vez este personaje siniestro que se escuda detras del prestigio del CONICET para censurar colegas y destruir la ciencia argentina.. no creerá q estará eternamente protegido x las fuerzas del cielo ?

[Journal of Applied Ecology @JAppliedEcology]

Simulated management strategies for tree invasions in grasslands reveal early removal of saplings is most cost-effective approach to limit population size, spread & impact🌲

These methods are adaptable to any invasive woody species with sufficient data💭

New year, new preprint! I’m excited to share this work with @nahpo, Lindsey Adams, Abigail Li, and @jennymbhatnagar, "Microbial functional guilds and genes are key to explaining soil nutrient cycling alongside soil and plant variables": https://t.co/QDLeq1s0rz

Plant–soil feedback drives the ‘nursing effect’ on Sitka spruce 🌲

Provides a mechanistic explanation for both long-held observations of nursing effects in forestry systems and for biodiversity effects in natural woodlands 🌱
