#iDiv and University of Jena are looking for a Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/n) in the field of ecological networks www.idiv.de/career/job-o... 🔍Role: Full-time 💸Salary: Up to 13 TV-L 🗓Deadline: 19 January 2025

New study led by Ana Elizabeth Bonato Asato published in @journalofecology.bsky.social 🌱🪱 Plant diversity increases above- and below-ground ecosystem functioning and their phenological synchrony, but effects on traits vary across seasons. doi.org/10.1111/1365...

A new study from our experiment led by @henneckejustus.bsky.social shows that "Root functional strategies determine the (functional) composition of fungal communities in the soil but plant diversity/productivity determines the absolute fungal biomass." See the original post for more details 🌱🍄

📢Call for proposals: Biodiversity Exploratories (2026-2029)! Exciting news! The @dfgpublic.bsky.social has announced the call for proposals for the next phase of the BE! 📝Details & Application Info: www.dfg.de/de/aktuelles... www.biodiversity-exploratories.de/en/participa... Please share the news!

BEF & community ecology fans, join us at the #BES2024 Wednesday, Ana Elizabeth Asato & Maximilian Bröcher: plant-soil and plant-consumer interactions as drivers of ecosystem functoning 🌱 Thursday, @ebelingae.bsky.social & @bmwildermuth.bsky.social : arthropod diversity & functioning over time 🪲

Hello world! Looking forward to shed some light into belowground processes!

🧪Paper alert New findings from our JenaTron experiment show that the multitrophic functioning of soil fauna depends on soil community history. 🪱🌱 Led by @amyntas.bsky.social , published in Nat. Commun. @natureportfolio.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s414...

First outcome of our retreat: we're here now! 🪲 For obvious reasons, we've not been online in the other place for some time, but we are excited to reconnect here. We will be sharing our latest research, project news and job offers here 🌱
