Consequences of global biodiversity loss and climate change for decomposer communities and implications for forest carbon fluxes

Our climate‑warming experiment on wood‑decomposing fungi is finally running! Testing how different wood decomposing fungi populations respond to warming—thanks to the new climate chambers at TU Dresden Tharandt.

#BIOCOMP Module 2 is now set up in Spain. Logs are in place, nature takes over, and fresh data is on the horizon. Module 2 examines fungi-insect interactions and their effects on wood decomposition across different climatic zones.

We had a productive and fun-filled discussion on the future of #BIOCOMP at Bavarian Forest National Park.

It has indeed been a remarkable year for the collaboration.

Quite the decomposition...😄
End-of-year thrill! TU Dresden's Tharandt campus now has 5 state-of-the-art climate chambers to power our BIOCOMP module 3 experiment.
Huge thanks to the EU & Freistaat Sachsen via EFRE InfraProNet for funding "KlimaWald - Aufbau klimastabiler Waldökosysteme"!

Martin, John Paul and their team are tirelessly working to set up the site.

For the 100th anniversary celebration of our university National University of Mongolia, we had created a content about our study, highlighting insect role in forest.

@biocomp-erc.bsky.social During the second phase - the installation of the insect trap, we found the very first closed cage bunch. Location: Mongolia, unmanaged forest site NUM-Forest Station.
Happy to share some captures with digital twins of one of the standing trees, ground deadwood and even the decomposition experiment from @biocomp-erc.bsky.social sites. Scan: FJD S2 Max, Processing: Virtsilv algorithms

We just started setting up a new #BIOCOMP site in Budongo Forest, Uganda. Thank you @shamikroy.bsky.social and @sebseibold.bsky.social for the possibility to contribute!
We rounded up fieldwork for 2025 with #BIOCOMP forest inventory at our Ankasa field site in Ghana. Of course, we didn't leave without a splash in River Ankasa and a spontaneous stop at the beach. 😀🌴
It's been a remarkable year for my group.
