Counting, sorting, identifying. 🤓
Time to check all the collected #alpine #SoilFauna from soil samples and pitfall traps from the Ben Avon plateau in the #CairngormsNationalPark in #Scotland .
After a nice sampling season, I am sitting in the soil labs of the #JamesHuttonInstitute in #Aberdeen . Very promising first results already! 🤞#AlpSoil_Lab #BEN_EAF #SoilMesofauna #SoilBiodiversity #MountainSoilBiodiversity

Field work seems to be over for now in our #BEN_EAF outgoing mobility project in the #Cairngorms, #Scotland.
We did sample soil for #eDNA #metabarcoding and collected our pitfall traps.
It was a great and quite warm weather! 😎
Next: do some invertebrate identification in the labs of the #JamesHuttonInstitute .

Here we go: now pitfall traps are collecting critters on the ground at the #alpine plateau of Ben Avon, in the #CairngormsNationalPark in the Scottish #Highlands. 🕷️🪲🐛
Four habitat types, three pitfall traps each: looking forward!
Maybe we can find some new records of soil invertebrates? The chances are high, as alpine soil fauna studies are rare in the UK.Thanks to Andrea Britton and Debbie Fielding from #jameshuttonInstitute for helping do field work! ✌️

While samplings of #alpine beasties in the #Cairngorms #NationalPark for my #BEN_EAF project at the #JamesHuttonInstitute are still in the preparation, here some impressions of the critters I've found while hiking.
As temperatures go up, so more activity is expected, right?

YEAH! 🎉
Today #BEN_EAF kick-offs as collaboration of Eurac Research, South Tyrol (#AlpSoil_Lab) and the James Hutton Institute (#EnB group), Scotland.We will identify alpine #SoilFauna in the Highlands using traditional and modern #eDNA methods.
Stay tuned!

NEW EUROPEAN RECORD 🎉
We were able to detect the Pygmy Shrews (Sorex minutus) in the high #alpine up to 3,300 m a.s.l. in #SouthTyrol #Italy, 780 metres higher than known before 🐁
New short note in #Hystrix (w/ #ChiaraPaniccia & @Eliag from https://bsky.app/profile/euracalpenv.bsky.social )

Some time ago, we #AlpSoil_Lab at #EuracResearch|s Institute for Alpine Environment published a paper for kids and all people in a simple language. Thanks to @soilbio_comm these articles were translated in many languages!

Hey you? Yes you!
Are you doing #research on #SoilBiodiversity in #mountains ? 🪱🦠🏔️Then submit your #abstract to our #IMC2025 session, and tell us about your newest insights on #MountainSoilBiodiversity
See here our focus session 3.139 in collaboration with the #GlobalMountainBiodiversityAssessment : https://imc2025.info/imc25/sessions-n-workshops/focus-session/fs-3-139-mountain-soil-biodiversity/

#Alpine #SoilFauna season ended with an astonishing #hike close to #glacier.
As bonus we hiked up to the Hohe Wart (Guardia Alta, 3424m), which is on the crest towards the #Similaun (3606m)
In our samplings, we found something surprising 🥳 more details will be soon published in a short notice ✌️

What an intensive week of #alpine #SoilBiodiversity sampling. Despite being holidays in 🇮🇹, we climbed up #mountains in 🇦🇹 in the #NationalParkHoheTauern for our #SnowBeds project (w/ @uniinnsbruck & @unibern).
Such a great view 😎

What an adventure 🤠
We as #AlpSoil_Lab from #EuracResearch set up our highest pitfall traps yet at high #alpine sites at 3300m and 3100m.
These #GLORIA sites are quite steep and challenging to reach, but I can't wait to see the #soilfauna living up there 🔍#SoilScience #SoilBiodiversity #Alps #EuropeanAlps #SoilBiology #SouthTyrol #Italy #TexelGroup #Mountains #Mountaineering
