  1. I am very happy to be part of and to see this review on #Isopoda and #Oniscidea (woodlice, terrestrial isopods) published in the #SoilOrganisms journal.

    Many thanks to Konstantin Gongalsky & Pallieter De Smedt for leading this excellent work! 🎊

    Read/download the review: doi.org/10.25674/466
    And if you have Oniscidea data: SHARE THEM!

  2. My photo from 2019 shows a #treetrunk in the #Berlin #winter, which has not fallen off all its dried #autumnleaves. In autumn, many #deciduous #trees cork the xylem connections of their leaves so that they do not evaporate more water than the tree can absorb through its roots. The #withered #fallenleaves serve as a #microhabitat for specialized #decomposing #soilorganisms. If old leaves remain on the tree, the organisms there will begin #decomposition processes.

  3. #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.
