Interested in #AMF molecular research and working with @FungiInvam ? We are hiring an entry level assistant researcher to join us at the @UnivOfKansas employment.ku.edu/jobs/staff/ass…

Just out! Our new paper in @newphyt explores how insect herbivory shapes the assembly of AM fungal communities in plant roots. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… 🧵[1/4]

We paired up with @LandscBiodivUT and presented digital tools for #spatial planning of #nature restoration to improve #carbon #sequestration and #biodiversity, two key #ClimateAction aspects @COP28_UAE #geospatial

Today is the Sustainability Day! Among other, ALFAwetlands discovers sustainable alternatives in wetlands restoration. Celebrate with us and restore wetlands sustainably-restore for the future! #restorationforfuture #SustainabilityDay

Happy to see our paper published in J Environ Manag! With @JaanisLodjak @MarkoKohv et al. Studied short-term recovery of drained peatland soil after #restoration. Microbial assemblages (#fungi #bacteria) became patchy, but soil chemistry remained inert. doi.org/10.1016/j.jenv…

Oleme soode naerugaasi uurinud aastakümneid ja uurime #ERCAdvancedGrant toel üha hoogsamalt edasi. @LiWeFoR @fotis_sgour @samdeolai @KasakKuno @MaarjaOpik @unitartu #N2O #PeatTwitter #geograafia novaator.err.ee/1609027325/tu-…

So much great research, fun events, and a delightful group of people. Hope to see everyone there!

It's here, proposal for a soil law in 🇪🇺 You may like it or not, think it should have been more ambitious. It's a starting point. What's sure is that @EU_Commission's launching a clear message: soil needs legal protection🤎 Read the proposal➡️environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/soil-an…

📢 Call for papers! #Mycorrhizal research now: from the micro- to the macro-scale Submission deadline: 30 June 2023 Special issue Editors: @fmartin1954, @maarja_opik and Ian Dickie Express your interest here for more information! 👇 ow.ly/Hzke50Nl2Xo @wileyplantsci

Restoring Earth is impossible without considering #fungi! Join the conversation taking place in-person and online less than a week from now. Check out the program and grab your ticket if you haven't already >> serralves.pt/en/atividades-… Let's talk #FungiInRestoration 🍄

The headline says it all. Ylva (not on Twitter) is both these things. She has been a great mentor/collaborator/friend to me beginning when I was still wet behind the ears in grad school. Read on for a great profile on a rockstar in mycorrhizal research!

@TLLairport, heading for #carbon and #nutrientcycle expedition, #Maludam #peat #swamp #forest, #Borneo! @MaarjaOpik @RRanniku @KasakKuno @KaidoSoosaar @IvikaOstonen @avnimalh0tra @melling_lulie #travellinglight #UloManderHappy

@KiersToby @Kokkoris_Vas Which species is that?

What we observe everyday in our lab reminds us: Mycorrhizal fungi are not just passive conduits to assist plants. Fungi are powerful actors in their own right, evolving trade strategies over hundreds of millions of yrs. Fungi are extraordinary. Video: L. Oyarte Galvez

Drum roll, please!🥁 14th @SER_Europe conference on ecological restoration will be held in Tartu, Estonia, 26-30 August 2024. Right then, EU countries are developing their national restoration plans & setting path for the future of nature. Excellent time to meet up! #SERE2024

@KasakKuno @C_AARIAS Congratulations!

August @CEAT_Hub Director message out. Covers: @AlisonRBentley seminar on building resilience into food systems; what crop breeding can learn from COVID vaccine; and, $1M investment in membrane separation technologies to retrieve fertilisers from waste. ceat.org.au/august-directo…

@southmycorrhiza @cesarmarin203 @silvafloresdra I saw you could grow. And it is pure pleasure to see you keep doing so ;)

@MaarjaOpik @cesarmarin203 @silvafloresdra Thank you Maarja! You have supported us from the beginning. We deeply appreciate it and we acknowledge all your valuable and critical comments that have helped us to grow.

Our network is now present in the Directors board of IMS! Yesterday @cesarmarin203 and @silvafloresdra were announced during the last day of #ICOM11 Si much more to come 💪🏼
