We all know what a tree is, right? Maybe not.

Plant scientists are calling for a reimagining of trees not as single organisms but as symbiotic networks

Time to contribute towards the global Pinus radiata microbiome project is running out fast!

Thank you to colleagues in Ireland, Great Britain, France, and Spain who recently submitted samples!!

If your region is not included, please be in touch quickly.

[Scion Research @scion_research]

Scientists at Scion are teaming up with international colleagues from Mexico & USA to help Pinus radiata under threat in its native range. They might just help NZ's native species in the process.

@alyshalysha23 @IslasGECI @CONANP_mx @Steve_ScienceNZ @MicrobiomeTree @madegreene @megrua @scion_research @NZinMexico We couldn't have done it without your help @alyshalysha23 !!!

[Sarah Addison @sl_addison]

So ends our amazing sampling trip in Mexico to sample Pinus radiata in their native home ranges. We couldn't have done this without amazing collaborations.

[TreeMicrobiome @MicrobiomeTree]

We are privileged to be sampling Pine tree microbiomes on the Islands Cedros and Guadalupe. These islands, off the coast of Mexico, are the ancient home to unique populations of Pinus radiata….. and, hopefully, microbiome associations

[Sarah Addison @sl_addison]

Amazing location to sample the microbiome from Pinus radiata in its endemic range #PinePals

@MicrobiomeTree @madegreene @Steve_ScienceNZ @megrua

[TreeMicrobiome @MicrobiomeTree]

Members of the sampling team had travelled from Ohio and some from New Zealand to be part of sampling. It’s a privilege to be on Isla Cedros.

Marauding Microbiome hunters @sl_addison , @madegreene , @megrua , and @Steve_ScienceNZ here and with a great support team!

[TreeMicrobiome @MicrobiomeTree]

But… it turned out they weren’t Pinus radiata. No sample collected.

Only thing left to do, go to the beach.

Western Australia is incredible

Sampling efforts in NZ are expanding, uncovering microbiomes co-evolving with Pinus radiata. We're excited to be gathering more samples around the world but we need help! Join us to add your samples & share our findings. If you’re interested get in touch!
@MicrobiomeTree

[Sarah Addison @sl_addison]

Join us in this awesome project - we want to be able to represent as much of the world as we can!

[TreeMicrobiome @MicrobiomeTree]

Please please join our effort to use an understanding of the tree root microbiome to protect and enhance forests.

If you know of some Pinus radiata, and can extract DNA, you are gold!

[Sarah Addison @sl_addison]

An amazing day sampling the most Southern Pinus radiata, amazing bird life too #pinespy

[TreeMicrobiome @MicrobiomeTree]

Pinus radiata on Ulva island. Do geographically isolated pine have geographically unique microbiomes, or has host filtering selected for a ‘standard community’? Time and DNA will tell…

[Global Sustainable Agriculture & Environment @CropGlobal]

We call on our partners to support this initiative of Pine Microbiome initiative and help in sampling. The initiative aims to climate proof the species.

[TreeMicrobiome @MicrobiomeTree]

Some amazing sites for sampling tree microbiomes today.

If you haven’t already, we need samples from the Sthn Hemisphere. Please contribute .

[TreeMicrobiome @MicrobiomeTree]

Please R/T as widely as practicable. We are reliant on the power of social media here. Thanks heaps!

[TreeMicrobiome @MicrobiomeTree]

Calling all soil/plant/microbial ecologists in the Southern Hemisphere.

The tree microbiome program needs samples of Pinus radiata growing in the Southern Hemisphere. Help us build the tree-microbiome model system.
