Paleoenvironmental assessment of a lower Jurassic succession in the NW-German Basin employing DRIFTS High-resolution reconstruction of paleoenvironmental conditions of sedimentation requires the qualitative and quantitative assessment of the major sed…

Our latest publication relying on a collaboration between Universities of Zurich and Kiel highlights the usefulness of a screening tool like DRIFTS to disentangle organic matter and mineral changes in Jurassic sediments for poaleoenvironmental assessment. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Time‐integrated δ2H in n‐alkanes and carbohydrates from boreal needles reveal intra‐annual physiological and environmental signals Reliable insights from key δ2H bioindicators, n-alkanes and carbohydrates, are hindered by our limited understanding of isotope fractionation processes related to leaf water and primary assimilates....

Great new study led by Charlotte Angove and supported by @snsf-ch.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu and others on d2H isotope composition in alkanes and carbohydrates to decipher there environmental significance for paleoenvironmental studies. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Leaf Spectroscopy Reveals Drought Response Variation in Fagus sylvatica Saplings From Across the Species' Range Leaf reflectance measurements effectively track drought-induced trait changes in beech saplings in a non-destructive way Beech saplings from the Iberian Peninsula show greater drought resistance ...

Great collaboration between Spatial Genetics and Soil Biology and Biogeochemistry groups @UZH studying drought responses of beech saplings in terms of chemical and spectral properties of their leaves. You want to know more? Just have a look... agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Happy #WorldSoilDay! Our favourite day of the year...🪱🪱🪱

95% of our food comes from it #soil, it's so much more than just dirt!💚 🤎

Just check out the new web page of our lab at the Department of Geography @UZH: www.geo.uzh.ch/en/services/...

Had just a great defence of my PhD student Tatjana Speckert, who conducted her research in the @SNSF funded #IQ_SASS project @UZH. I am looking forward on the next couple of months, when she can complete some of her studies as a Postdoc in my group…

Fresh out of the press: Comparison of paleobotanical and biomarker records of mountain peatland and forest ecosystem dynamics over the last 2600 years in central Germany. This great research was funded by @snsf_ch and conducted @uzh_geo @UZH_en: bg.copernicus.org/articles/20/...

"Source or decomposition of soil organic matter: what is more important with increasing forest age in a subalpine setting?" we asked in our @SNSF funded #IQ_SASS project @uzh_geo @UZH_en. Here, you can find the answer: www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....

Check out our latest publication on carbon cycling in a subalpine 130-year-old afforestation sequence at #Jaun (FR, CH). The reserach was conducted as part of the #SNSF funded #IQ_SASS project at Department of Geography at University of Zurich: soil.copernicus.org/articles/9/6...
