🌍 What a great week at #IMC2025 in Innsbruck! 🏔️

Proud to showcase our institute among outstanding #mountain scientists 🧠 with talks, posters, and sessions featuring several of our projects🎤📊

@imc2025.bsky.social @jseeber.bsky.social @msteinwandter.bsky.social

Well done to @nadinepraeg.bsky.social for presenting and promoting our review of #MountainSoilBiodiversity at the #IMC2025. 👏🙏
In collaboration with @gmba-ipo.bsky.social, we compiled a wealth of information on our knowledge of alpine soil biota. 🪴🦠🪱

#IMC25 - FS 3.139: Mountain soil biodiversity

Are you at #IMC25? Then come and join our session, we have great talks about mountain #soil #biodiversity ! imc2025.info/imc25/sessio...

Klimakrise: Es ist alles gesagt. Oder? Was kleine süße Hündchen mit der Regenbogenflagge und Taylor Swift zu tun haben? Nichts. Dies ist ein plumper Versuch, Interesse an einem weiteren Artikel über die Klimaerwärmung zu wecken. Wie sonst....

Das Interesse am Klimathema geht zurück. Wie kann ich jetzt als Wissenschaftler kommunizieren?
Alternativen, Kritik etc. welcome...

Did you know that Soil BON has a ✨YouTube channel✨? 🤩

We do! Check out the channel for instructional videos of sampling protocols and COMING SOON... behind the scenes at Soil BON with our talented staff! @eisenhauerlab.bsky.social

What is living in (and on) alpine soils at 3100m in the European #Alps?

"Not too much"? Check out this sample.
A lot of critters (abundance) and also some larger larvae (Tipulidae) and some flying insects (biomass).

Very excited to sort out these #GLORIA samples from #SouthTyrol.

Julia Seeber and Michael Steinwandter found a way to protect their wood decompostion sticks for the Soil BON project from curious bovines by using poultry wire boxes. Brilliant! ✨🌱🐄✨

Five years after VAIA:

– Norway spruce dominates regeneration (67%), but only 26% of plots meet targets.
– Browsing affects 25% of seedlings, especially Rowan, Willow, and Silver fir.

Management should promote species diversity and control browsing.

Ours doesn’t have one, I‘m not even sure if I want to see on paper how much time we spent at admin…

A few days left to apply!

It was quite a ride, but finally our review on #mountain #SoilBiodiversity is online 🥳 👇🏻

📣We still have places available for the 2025 edition of the 'Lab Skills Course for Assessing Soil Functions'. 🪱🦠
A range of methods related to soil functions will be discussed and will provide practical training in a subset of measures. 🥼Link here: biosisplatform.eu/services/tra... 👈

Are #collembola #bioluminescent? They sure are!! 🤩
Can you capture this with a smart phone? You can! 😍

Atsuko Ohira & Taizo Nakamori show us in their latest paper in Soil Organisms. Check it out below!
