Final version now online #OpenAccess 🔴A comprehensive review of feeding habits in soil animals🔴 By @AntonCollembola @stefan_geisen @RoryJMcDonnell @MPollierer & 20+ other experts Accompanying blog piece here globalsoilbiodiversity.org/blog-beneath-o… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/br…

A project that has been part of the BE for many years is LitterLinks by @sscheu2 . Here, the composition and trophic structure of #soil animals and their microbial food resources are studied, as well as their inter-annual shifts. biodiversity-exploratories.de/en/projects/ch… @MPollierer

Nice opportunity to go to Africa #GlobalCollembola #SoilBON 😉

It has been a great, connecting and inspiring conference #GSB2023 with almost nothing missing but biscuits in the coffee break ;) Thank you @DianaWallSoil and all other contributors and particpants

@FrankAshwood Always a pleasure, join us any time 😅

The (extended) AG Scheu Göttingen Team #GSB2023, thanks to @FrankAshwood for being on the picture with his great pictures! And thanks everyone for a great conference!

Closing ceremony for #GSB2023 starts with Richard Bardgett calling for studies across time in addition to space.

#TeamForest with @MPollierer! No decrease in soil animal diversity over time, like the trend we see aboveground. Temporal variation is mostly related to climatic differences between years. Differences between sites are caused by forest type and abiotic drivers. #GSB2023 (11/n)

@EdithCHammer shows some brand new data that fungi might work as microplastic vacuum cleaners in soil where the microplastics stick to their hyphae while growing through the soil matrix @theGSBI #GSB2023. Very cool! Microplastics in green

#Walheimat Göttingen 🐳 Endlich ist es soweit! Wie ein gigantisches Knochenpuzzle wurde das ‚Göttinger‘ Walskelett, das Highlight der Zoologischen Sammlung der @uniGoettingen, Knochen für Knochen wieder zusammengesetzt. Heute wurde der 500 Kg schwere Schädel transportiert.

#PhDposition in our lab #AGScheu, #uniGoettingen in the framework of the #BExplo_research to investigate the response of soil animal food webs to forest gap formation using state-of-the-art techniques like compound-specific amino acid isotope analyses: view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?s…

#sfe2gfoe2022 Proud of our recent @BECC guest professor @NinaBuchmann1 (usually @ETH) receiving the @GfoeSoc award- summing up 30 yrs of ecosystem ecology!

Exploring secrets of French cuisine with the glorious 😀 @uniGoettingen soil food web team at #sfe2gfoe2022.

We have a small information stand at the #sfe2gfoe2022 ! We would be happy if you drop by. You will find us in the exhibition hall next to the poster session.

To those attending the SFE2-GfÖ-EEF meeting in Metz. Here's your periodic reminder that if you have (or see) great 'Synthesis' projects, consider the @Ecology_Letters 'Synthesis' section as a potential outlet. Email or DM me with ideas. @GfoeSoc @sfecologie @EuropeanEcology

#sfe2gfoe2022 Celebrating the Symposium today on methods to assess the soil matrix with @EdithCHammer @MPollierer @logos_lu @Mud_Maik

The Scientist's Warning is a film about a researcher who started a movement of scientists to turn knowledge into action- a story of scientists all over the world awakening to the need to become advocates for the fate of the planet & humanity. youtu.be/byXGCPo-80w via @YouTube

Interested in #Collembola, their trophic niches in #forest soils and influence of vertical resource heterogeneity? Want to know how they respond to deprivation of root-derived resource? Then we recommend the BExplo publication by Li, @bluhm_sl @MPollierer sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
