Thanks for writing this! I’ll be adding a link to it in my lab handbook and on the website for my undergrad scientific writing course.
Integrating root exudation into belowground carbon economics #plantscience
My colleague Christian Poll offers a PhD position in our group at University of Hohenheim, we would be glad if you share this opportunity with potential candidates. His project EcoFuture KAP4 is an interesting collaborative project with University of Tübingen. dbges.de/assets/Uploa...

The ecological significance of root exudation has long been recognized, yet most research on root-trait organization has focused on easily measurable morphological and chemical traits. Root exudation, despite representing a substantial carbon investment in rhizosphere processes and belowground interactions, remains largely overlooked in the current Root Economics Space (RES) framework. Emerging evidence reveals inconsistent correlations between root-exudation traits and the collaboration versus conservation gradients of the RES. We explore potential mechanisms underlying these inconsistencies and propose two testable hypotheses: that root exudation can either be integrated into the existing two-dimensional RES or constitute an independent axis that extends the framework to three dimensions. Finally, we identify key research priorities to address critical knowledge gaps and improve trait-based predictions of belowground carbon allocation.
Fungal necromass is increasingly recognized as a major component of soil organic matter, and identifying the factors that govern its formation is crit…
Come work with me at the Department of Soil Biology in Hohenheim, Postdoc position for three years. I am looking for someone who will support my current line of research and help establish novel methods of molecular soil ecology in the lab. Thanks for sharing.

Excited to share our latest publication, just out. It has been a fantastic collaboration that took a lot of meticulous lab work and image analysis from Roos, and led to long discussions and deep dives into mycelial development and fungal life histories. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/6ZEPAC...
Please join us at #ICOM2026 in Cairns, Australia, this summer. @anthomycota.bsky.social and me are organising a special session on mycorrhizae and biogeochemical cycles at the International Conference on Mycorrhiza (Session 23, icom2026.org). Abstract submission is open until February 28, 2026.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few.....

Good academic writing means sitting with a discomfort that never entirely goes away. It’s not a discomfort that comes from having nothing to say. Most of us have more than enough ideas crowding the…
