Ten years of our lab's work integrated in a paper on the fungal economics spectrum.

Huge congratulations to Tessa for leading this amazing effort, and all co-authors, lab members past and present. 🥳

Further news on fungal traits! Eva Leifheit published an article on the ability of different fungal isolates to decompose leaf and wood litter, and which functional traits may be the best predictors for these patterns (with Matthias C. Rillig Anika Lehmann ) academic.oup.com/femsec/advance…

Die Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften findet am 22. Juni 2024 statt. Von 17 bis 24 Uhr laden dann wieder rund 70 wissenschaftliche und wissenschaftsnahe Einrichtungen in Berlin zu spektakulären Experimenten, spannenden Vorträgen, Wissenschaftsshows und Laborführungen ein. 🧑‍🔬🖼️📣

Great to have Matthias C. Rillig today in #Frankfurt , giving a talk on soil and terrestrial ecosystems in our SENCKENBERG Distinguished Lecture series.
He also took the time for lots of discussions and exchange with scientists - what a committed & enthusiastic researcher and communicator!

This 👇! Thanks Masahiro Ryo for picking it up again. Deadline is Feb 29th. And if you are interested to shortly chat about plants, grasslands or biodiversity research at ZALF - dm me. This is an open call, so you can let your very own science shine!

You can sequence your archived soils! New paper from a great group of collaborators where we found minimal differences in microbiome composition between air-dried and frozen samples after 8 years (!!) of storage

This week I write about an important issue in ecological research, and how to avoid it: pseudoreplication.
