  1. 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! 🤞

  2. 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 .

  3. 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?
    ? 🤓🕷️🐛🪱🧬

  4. 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!

  5. NOW ONLINE at Biological Reviews!

    Global review on "Biodiversity in mountain soils above the treeline" by @nadinepraeg.bsky.social and me with many great #SoilBiodiversity researcher.

    This is the first time such global information on #alpine soil microbiota, soil fauna, and (soil) biocrusts were synthesised.

    Here, a short thread 🧵 (1/4)

  6. Great talk of @jseeber.bsky.social at the #EuBiReCo 2024 in #Bozen / #Bolzano (#SouthTyrol).

    She highlighted the efforts of the #Biodiversa+ Soil Pilot to find transnational monitoring schemes to assess #SoilBiodiversity (e.g. pitfall traps vs. eDNA).

  7. #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 ✌️

  8. 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 🔍

  9. 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)

  10. #AlpSoil_Lab field work day 🤠

    Despite a rainy start, the weather was quite friendly up at 2500m at #EuracResearch's #LTSER site Matsch/Mazia in #Vinschgau, #SouthTyrol, #Italy

    Checked some #SoilTemp loggers for fresh #alpine soil temperature data from our (dry) grassland spots.

  11. 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 🤓

  12. Listening to #FlorenceAndTheMachine while looking at the beautiful city panorama of #Firenze 🌇

    Getting ready for the #IUSS2024 (Congress of the
    International Union of Soil Sciences).

    Who is here too? 🙋

  13. #MountainMonday: happy to share our recent #AlpSoil_Lab paper on soil fauna in #mountain meadows and mixed forests.

    As agricultural areas are limited in mountain regions, they need to be used efficiently and therefore #grasslands often are embedded in #forests with no buffer zones (field margins).
    --> well separated #SoilFauna communities, but the missing ecotones impede their exchange.
