A bit sad to leave beautiful Vancouver Island after #GSB2026. Thank you @lindolab.bsky.social and @carlosbarreto.bsky.social for an amazing conference!

How did research on soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning progress over the past decade? Read our new paper in @natrevbiodiv.nature.com, led by Nico Eisenhauer @eisenhauerlab.bsky.social and Marie Sรผnnemann @msoil.bsky.social: www.nature.com/articles/s44...
Greater trophic diversity of soil animal communities under agricultural land use and tropical climate. Just out in @natecoevo.nature.com led by Zheng Zhou and @antoncollembola.bsky.social

In our latest paper, just published in @natcomms.nature.com we show that soil conditions, landscape structure & land-use change shape global soil pathogenic fungal diversity. Landscape complexity and crops increase diversity, while grass and tree cover reduce it www.nature.com/articles/s41...
ICYMI: New online! Soil biodiversity effects on ecosystems

Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 12 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00123-zSoil biodiversity is poorly studied compared to aboveground biodiversity, but is an important driver of ecosystem functioning. This Review discusses advances in research into the relationships between soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, highlighting that integrative and causal study approaches will be needed to fill the gaps in our understanding.
Here the authors use a large dataset of stable isotope observations to analyse how soil animal trophic diversity varies across climates and land-use types and identify potential biotic mechanisms ๐งช www.nature.com/articles/s41...
YEAH! ๐
Today #BEN-EAF kicks off as collaboration of Eurac Research, South Tyrol (@euracalpenv.bsky.social) and the James Hutton Institute (@hutton.ac.uk), Scotland.
We will identify alpine #SoilFauna in the Highlands using traditional and modern #eDNA methods.
Stay tuned!

Our in-house press team at Eurac Magazine published an article about the soil biology research of @jseeber.bsky.social and myself where we focus on alpine environments.
