#mountainsoilbiodiversity — Public Fediverse posts

First day for me today at "the Hutton" in Aberdeen, Scotland!

I will conduct my research on alpine soil fauna here for the next five months and check out what "beasties" we can find in the remote and astonishing Scottish Highlands. 🕷️🪲🪱

Thanks to The James Hutton Institute for hosting me, and a big thank you for the warm welcoming today. 🤗

Well done to Nadine Praeg (https://bsky.app/profile/nadinepraeg.bsky.social) for presenting and promoting our review of #MountainSoilBiodiversity at the #IMC2025. 👏🙏
In collaboration with the #GMBA (https://bsky.app/profile/gmba-ipo.bsky.social), we compiled a wealth of information on our knowledge of alpine soil biota. 🪴🦠🪱

Openly accessible here: https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.70028

And as conclusion of our #MountainSoilBiodiversity poster session at the #IMC2025 is a presentation from
https://bsky.app/profile/mizeh.bsky.social
assessing the #CarbonStocks in the high #mountains of #Switzerland. A lot of hiking!

Next in the #MountainSoilBiodiversity poster session at the #IMC2025 is Theresa Rzehak showing us the variety of #soil #microbiota in different mountain habitats and elevations.

Our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session at the #IMC2025 is not yet finished: here our #PosterSession contributions: first Annabel Lindley showing us how #microbiota, #plants, and #invertebrates differ (or not) in natural, extensively, and intensively managed land.

Already the last talk in our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session at the #IMC2025:
Johanna Mayerhofer on #soil #microbiota and their associations with plants in the course of the large #Biodiversity #Monitoring of #Switzerland.

Thanks to everyone attending, all speaker, and to
https://bsky.app/profile/jseeber.bsky.social!

Now on stage in our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session at the #IMC2025 is Martha Apple on root morphology and #microbiota as symbionts in different #alpine habitats in wilderness areas the #RockyMountains of Montana.

Next in our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session at the #IMC2025 is co-convener
https://bsky.app/profile/nadinepraeg.bsky.social
showing us the soil meta-communities (i.e. the sum of all #microbiota) in mountain and alpine soils in the #LTER area #Matsch in #SouthTyrol.

Already Talk 7 in our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session at the #IMC2025 by Francisco Pugnaire on #microbiome communities associated with understory #soil in the mountains of #Andalusia (Spain).

Next is Lucía Laorden-Camacho from
@uniinnsbruck.bsky.social
in our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session at the #IMC2025 talking about #ShrubEncroachment and how #Fungi are affected by these changes.

We stick to #alpine soils (#snowbeds) and #microorganisms in our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session at the #IMC2025 with Coline La Noir de Carlan (with #AlpFor) simulating different snow melt changes.

Now in our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session at #IMC2025 a presentation of Nora Khelidj again about #GlacierRetreat and how microorganisms ( #fungi and #bacteria) attached on plant roots change along with the new emerging ecosystem stages.

Next in our #MountainSoilBiodiversity at the #IMC2025 is Sophie Szedlaczek talking about #Mortierella #fungi in alpine #glacier forefields and how their species communities are similar (or different) to each other.

The https://bsky.app/profile/imc2025.bsky.social
started for us and our #MountainSoilBiodiversity session. 🪱🦠🕷️

Priyanka Kashyap showing us the diversity and functional groups of #nematodes in Indian high mountains doing some #OpenTopChamber experiments.

#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 ✌️

Parallel to other #SoilEcology project, we at the #AlpSoil_Lab of #EuracResearch started with the #SnowBed project to sample #SoilMesofauna in #alpine environment.

Late this year but it is sunny up there!

This morning at the @worldbioforum 2024 in #Davos --> small excursion day with a team of #SoilBiodiversity researchers @EisenhauerLab, #AlpSoil_Lab, #ScheuLab)

We climbed up the Büelenhorn (2512m) and Büelenberg, a quite lonely mountain ridge above Davos.
A lot of nice biodiversity to see in the #alpine zone! (and sahara sand)

On our way as #EuracResearch Institute for #Alpine Environment over snowcapped mountain passes to #Davos in #Switzerland for the @worldbioforum 2024 (#WBF2024) .

Looking forward to nice talks, chats and networking with (mountain soil) #biodiversity people 🤓

Come and check out our talks and posters 👍

Today Nadine Praeg rocked the floor at the #IUSS2024 #SoilScience #Conference speaking about the #microbiome in #soils and different organisms interacting with soil such as #SoilFauna and mammals.

Collaboration of #EuracResearch, @uniinnsbruck, and #FEM (#Trentino)

Part of #MountainSoilBiodiversity research

The #IUSS2024 #SoilScience #conference in #Florence is huuuuge 😯 Thousands of people!

But where ade the posts about it? Not even on Twixxer... Are soil scientist not that active?

That needs to be changed 🤓

Christmas is here and we are happy to announce that our review on "Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline" is online as preprint at @biorxivpreprint:

Happy reading and commenting 😉
Cheers 🏔️🦠🌱🪱

Yet another nice #alpine #SoilBiodiversity sampling in the #Dolomites in #SouthTyrol, #Italy.

Pitfall traps installed, soil fauna samples taken, sweaping net samples collected.

Cloudy but amazing atmosphere there 🤠
