In this study we show that a single application of glyphosate and terbuthylazine in recommended doses has minor effects on soil extracellular enzyme activities, detectable shifts in soil bacterial communities but without affecting the performance of the subsequent maize plant🧬
Proud to see that my first PhD chapter has a doi number and is in the public domain. Thank you @janwaelchli, @i_spielvogel, @KSchlaeppi & others for the collective effort🙂See in the comments what is this study about... 🌱https://t.co/ZmuYaLqpF5
This is a really cool conceptual paper on "Using root economics traits to predict biotic plant soil-feedbacks" by Gemma Rutten and @AllanEcology! A must read for everyone interested in soil-feedbacks and traits 👇

Congratulations! After 4 years, all @unibern OH PhDs have successfully completed. Good luck to all incl. @valentingfeller @fiblorg, @MohanaMmicro11 who will join the Nayak Lab, UCSF, Matheus Notter @unibern spin-off #Enzoxa@verocaggia & @LiThoenen as PDs with @KSchlaeppi @Unibas

Studying how #insect#herbivores resist #plant specialized #metabolites? 🪲🐛🌱
With our new review, we hope to inspire researchers from the #ChemicalEcology field investigating detox and sequestration mechanisms in insects!
Last year we buried over 2000 pieces of underwear and 12000 teabags with 1000 volunteers to estimate soil health. This Wednesday first results will be presented. We found thousands of microbial taxa and results point to the importance of land use and soil carbon. @SFranzBender1
Plants that are exposed to light cues from neighbors respond more strongly to stress volatiles- and then release more volatiles themselves. A booster for plant-plant interactions! Cool discovery by @RocioEscobarBr1 et al., funded by the @VeluxStiftung.

Drought stress and mycorrhiza can affect the performance of wheat plants of different cultivars in different directions - learn more about it in our recent publication in Plants:

I needed a couple of days to realize what happened...
Last Saturday we won the World Championship of Indiaca with the Swiss women's team😍🥳🥇
For sure union has been our biggest strength😊
Thank you sport for always offering me all these emotions and moments!
Super happy to tell that our project: 'The invisible allies: How soil microbes can help tackling climate change was' funded.
We (me and Gabriel Moinet from @SBL_WUR) will be hiring 2 PhD students later this year. Looking forward to investigate soil microbes (🍄) and soil C!
