The second paper of my #PhD is out!
We show snow gum #dieback alters #VOC emissions from #tree trunks, primarily through an increase in #monoterpene emissions.
Emissions from infested trunks are actually comparable in magnitude to those from leaves 🌳🪲☁️
Take a glimpse into the fieldwork in Kosciuszko National Park behind our newly published snow gum dieback VOC study 🌳🪲☁️
The #pre-print for the Australian #fieldwork we did last February is now out! We show snow gum #dieback alters #volatile emissions, especially increasing #monoterpene #emissions from damaged trunks. You can read more here: doi.org/10.22541/ess...
The fieldwork sure was one to remember! 🌿🪲☁️🦘
Welcome to BES2025! 💫
Today, we are so excited to welcome ecologists from 58 countries, encouraging innovative research and practice in ecology.
We have exciting talks and sessions ahead in the next days from agriculture, human's place in nature, AI to green finance and much more.
Postdoctoral position in Forest Monitoring available. Know your way around spatial datasets? Join us to help monitor changes in Australia's precious forest estate! @westsyduhie.bsky.social

🎄Early Christmas news! Chapter IV of my PhD thesis has been accepted for publication in @femsmicro.org Microbiology Ecology 🤘
We show how three Greenlandic bacteria shift their VOC profiles along a salt gradient.

Stay tuned for another paper coming out soon! 🤞
We at @voltcenter.bsky.social just held a very engaging mini symposium on polar biogeochemical cycles today.

Another one of my PhD papers finally came out last week!! 😁
Here, we studied the taxonomy and physiology of two bacterial isolates from Northern Greenland... And we conclude that they belong to two novel species, previously unknown to science 😎
Check it out here 👉 doi.org/10.1099/ijse...
This year's Bio Conference is in full swing, and @voltcenter.bsky.social's @martacontreras.bsky.social's and Jonathan Donhauser's posters are getting a lot of attention!
Does climate change have any lasting effects? Well, it depends on the species.
In our new article, we show that temperature and moisture drive persistent shifts in N-fixing communities associated with subarctic mosses.
Check it out in the latest GCB: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🧪

How does forest dieback affect the atmosphere around it?
A new study led by VOLT PhD Student @martacontreras.bsky.social has just been published, exploring the impact of snow gum dieback on VOC emissions: doi.org/10.1029/2025...
We also made a short video to help illustrate this study.🌳☁️

Abstract. The High Arctic deserts of remote northern Greenland are expected to become warmer and wetter due to climate change. Precipitation changes will i
Strains CF4.4T and KK5.5T, previously isolated from samples of biocrust and permafrost, respectively, collected from Northern Greenland, were characterized using a polyphasic approach. Both strains we...
