🌍 This #EarthDay, we're celebrating the billions of organisms beneath our feet that recycle nutrients, store carbon, and promote ecosystem resilience! 🪱
No soil biodiversity = No life aboveground 🍄
From springtails to fungi to enchytraeids, we rely on them all!
That’s a wrap on #GSB2026! 🎉
We cannot thank you all enough for coming out, providing fantastic presentations, making connections, and keeping soil biodiversity at the forefront of ecological research (in our completely unbiased opinion) 🪱
Safe travels home & see you all real soon!
It has been really inspiring to get to know about so much great research and to connect with a lot of passionate researchers at the wonderful @gsb2026.bsky.social. I am also really grateful for the chance I had to share and discuss some parts of my PhD work in two oral and one poster presentations.
This past week, I had the pleasure of participating in the 4th Global Soil Biodiversity Conference 2026. What an amazing array of specialists and excellent presentations! Can’t wait to attend the next edition! Big thanks to @thegsbi.bsky.social and everyone involved!

📣 A huge thank you to our first two keynote speakers, Dr. Marín (@cmarin.bsky.social) and Dr. Jansson, for starting #GSB2026 off strong!
Topics ranged from soil microbes as climate solutions to complexity science as a foundation for mycorrhizal research; we could not imagine a stronger start!
Reflecting on an incredible first day of #GSB2026 🪱 A warm welcome and official transition of leadership to the new Scientific Chair, @lindolab.bsky.social!
We cannot wait to see what the future holds! Now onto day two 🐜
