Soil microbiomes show consistent and predictable responses to extreme events - Nature Soils from 30 grasslands across Europe were subjected to 4 contrasting extreme climatic events under drought, flood, freezing and heat conditions, with the results suggesting that soil microbiomes fro...

My first Bluesky post is (coincidentally) my first Nature paper! Soil microbiomes show consistent and predictable responses to extreme events doi.org/ntzk. Huge props to @frantecol.bsky.social and the other collaborators for this mammoth effort.

Agricultural drought affects soil microbes, especially fungi and microbes associated with roots. Although organic and conventional farming systems promote unique microbiomes, both systems may encounter similar challenges during severe drought conditions. doi.org/10.1016/j.ej...

The votes have been counted and the winner of NZ Bug of the Year 2024 is... Kahukura / the New Zealand Red Admiral butterfly! bugoftheyear.ento.org.nz

I'm getting in early with a soil animal nominee suggestion for 2025's contest: New Zealand's endemic GIANT SPRINGTAIL!!! Just look at this winner. πŸ§ͺ
