Correction - the Plantago species might actually be P. major (:
Congratulations to our PhD candidate Beni Walter who recently won the Best Student Poster award at the International Crop Modelling Conference #ICROPM in Firenze, Italy 🎉🥇
Beni presented his work on improving agricultural land suitability modelling.
Well done Beni! ☺️
Our postdoc @jvonoppen.bsky.social was awarded a Cool Poster Design award at @mebconf.bsky.social - congratulations! 🥳
Looking forward to the microclimate time-series from his roof terrace ☺️🌡️💦

Great effort by our @sophieweides.bsky.social and the first paper from her PhD - congratulations! 🎉
Congratulations to Leo Amrein who yesterday passed his MSc exam with flying colours 🎉
In collaboration with @slfdavos.bsky.social, Leo investigated changes in alpine plant communities over 30 years, & which traits were most beneficial under experimental warming 🏔️🌼🌿🌡️
Way to go Leo, and best of luck!
*New paper*
Sabine contributed to a 60-year, European-wide study that found general trends of denser and more nutrient-affine vegetation but little increases of warm-loving species.

Big congratulations to our former MSc student Alexandra Kuttnig for having her thesis published! 🎉
Alex studied how seasonality and grazing exclosures shape bird community dynamics in West African drylands. 🐦🌾🐏🌳

Why are some tree lines shifting upward, while others shift down? @ecologybasel.bsky.social of @unibas.ch and colleagues are looking into it. 🧪🌲⛰️ eos.org/articles/tre...
Seasonal changes, more than grazing exclusions, shape bird community composition in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. However, grazing exclusions enhanced habitat heterogeneity, supporting regional b...
