Ecology of Soil Microorganisms

Throw back to my presentation last week at #esm2025! It was great to finally get a chance to share these results to a broad audience of #microbialecologists!

Very happy to have shared the first results of my PhD research on the Leguminose project at the beautiful Ecology of Soil Microorganisms conference in Helsinki #esm2025

Today, I had an exiting opportunity to present our first results to the #esm2025 audience. 🤩 We are searching for an answer to the question ”Does the interaction of fungi and plants drive soil carbon stabilization in the boreal forests?”. Hopefully, the results will be published later this year. 🤩

Great week at #esm2025 in Helsinki! We shared our latest work on soil methanotroph and nitrifier viruses 🦠😁

great science, cool people, a beautiful city, and I won a poster prize - I had a awesome time at the @esmmicrobes.bsky.social conference!

Honoured to receive a poster prize for my work on factors limiting microbial growth and its link to microbial use of soil organic matter. Grateful for the recognition - and what an inspiring conference it was!

Thank you everyone of 260 ESM2025 participants 🤎 We at @luke.fi miss you, and already looking for Prague ESM2028 🤩

It was my pleasure to give a talk on Energetic and metabolic costs of organic P mineralization at #ESM-2025 in Helsinki this afternoon.
Very thankful to @dfg.de for funding my project and @michaeladippold.bsky.social for hosting me at your group at Uni Tübingen.

Great talk from Guusje Koorneef about Roadmaps to improve #SoilHealth in EU at #ESM-2025 in Helsinki. Cool plan to follow!

Last talk of #esm2025, and the lecture room is still full of focused listeners! Big thanks to Inga Hilesalu and all today’s speakers for keeping the energy high and the content fascinating! #soils

Take-home message from Roey Angel: methanogenic Methanobacterium appears to be very common in upland soils as well. #esm2025

Soon to be a PhD Sirja Viitamäki presenting oroartic tundra microbes and their relationship with GHG emissions and vegetation. #esm2025

Zahra Islam took us into the world of hydrogen cycling microbes. #esm2025

The last day of #esm2025 congress starts with Chris Greening talking about microbial oxidation of atmospheric trace gases affecting global change.

Happy to present some of my recent research at the ESM meeting in Helsinki today @esmmicrobes.bsky.social 🦠

Soil Panel discussion claims ”Empathy for soils” #esm2025

Christoph Tebbe asked an important question: Can microbiome data help us identify healthy soils? #esm2025 #soils #soilhealth

Update on role and importance of #Microbiomes for #soilhealth from Chris Tebbe on #ESM2025 @esmmicrobes.bsky.social

Christoph Tebbe is talking about limitations and perspectives of monitoring the diversity of soil microbes as soil health indicators #esm2025

Jose Siles talks about relationship between microbial diversity and biomass across Europe (LUCAS network). #esm2025

First speaker of the day, Petr Kohout is telling us about ericoid mycorrhizal fungi and their specific features and global distribution. #esm2025

Another day of exciting and enlightning talks and memorable encounters! #esm2025

What an inspiring group of researchers! And they are all here in Helsinki for the soil microorganisms! 🤩
