🎉Good to see that ecological research can still make it to the pages of @nature.com 🎉
Congratulations to Ludovic Henneron & @paulkardol.bsky.social and the whole team! 🌳Forests dominated by fast-growing, "resource-acquisitive" tree species turn out to be hotspots of soil activity rdcu.be/fhmF2
The paper was brilliantly led by Ludovic Henneron as part of the SoilForEurope project bringing together a collaborative and fun team of researchers from nice European institutes! @biodiversa.eu, @mycopat.bsky.social, @alex-ecology.bsky.social

Nature - Plant community properties affect ecosystem functioning via energy fluxes in food webs, with the leaf and root resource economics of dominant tree species controlling soil food web...
Excited to share our new paper on how tree community resource economics shape soil food web multifunctionality across European forests! 🌲🌍 We quantified how energy flows through microbes, fungi, detritivores, herbivores and predators beneath the forest floor. rdcu.be/fhmF2
Using a food-web energetics approach, we reconstructed trophic interactions among soil organisms to estimate soil multifunctionality. Tree mixtures did not necessarily do better than monocultures but community composition mattered a lot. It’s about taxonomy, functional traits, and also microclimate!
Seminar 📅 Join us on the 20th of May 13:00 BST to hear about multiple combined global change drivers and their effects on soil function and biodiversity from Rebecca Rongstock (@freieuniversitaet.bsky.social) and @irene-cordero.bsky.social (@wslresearch.bsky.social)

Il se passe énormément de choses qui échappent à nos yeux dans les sols des forêts. De la matière et de l’énergie y sont transférés en permanence entre différents organismes. Comment les essences d’arbres présentes dans une forêt influencent-elles ces processus ?

What happens beneath forests may be just as important as what we see above ground 🌲
A new study published in Nature from @paulkardol.bsky.social and colleagues shows how tree communities shape hidden underground energy flows through roots, fungi, and microbes.

Ce qui profite aux arbres en surface ne profite pas toujours au réseau trophique souterrain, peuplé de microbes et d’une faune détritivore, herbivore ou carnivore.
