  1. Field work half-time for #BEN_EAF! ⛰️

    We took small and larger soil samples from whom hashtag#SoilFauna will be heat-extracted in the soil lab at the Aberdeen campus of the #JamesHuttonInstitute. This is mainly springtails (#Collembola), mites (#Acari), and hopeful more small critters!

    Further, we did also collect the soil fauna from the pitfall traps: mainly ground beetles (#Carabidae), wolf spiders (#Lycosidae), and harvestmen (#Phalangiidae). 🕷️🪲

    Thanks again to Andrea Britton and Debbie Fielding for the help in the field work!

  2. Here some good news for the #MEB network (microclimate ecology & biogeography, former #SoilTemp).
    New #TOMST soil temperature and soil humidity loggers are now installed in alpine habitats of the #ScottishHighlands, in the #Cairngorms National Park. 🌡️

    Normally there is a lochan way over there on one side, and the River Spey way over there on the other.
