Key message on management of drained forested peatlands from the @holisoils.bsky.social‬ policy brief below: "Avoiding clearcutting and applying continuous cover forestry on peatlands allows timber production with a higher water level [...], which can reduce GHG emissions"

@mpallandt.bsky.social and I were awarded financial support through the new EGU EDI Participation Support Scheme, to bring our child to #EGU25. This enables EC scientists to attend without monetary punishment for having children and no local support system. I hope more such initiatives will follow!

Does anyone else have problems submitting an abstract for #EGU25? I contacted the Copernicus Office for support, but am curious if it's just me or a larger issue...

Scientific identity crisis: "So, what do you do?" A simple question, but I struggle to answer after changing fields several times. Am I a vegetation modeller? Soil modeller? Does that then make me a land surface modeller? But my postdoc isn't like that, I'm analysing soil respiration datasets (1/2)

🚨 #AGU2024 alert! Come check out work from the @manzonilab.bsky.social with #HoliSoils data. @danielaguasconi.bsky.social presents our joint work on the relationships between microbial diversity and soil respiration in managed forests. Starts at 4:10 pm in room 149A-B, session B34A. See you there!

Many people take "non-traditional" career paths in academia. My Leading Edge colleagues and I did! We wrote for PLOS Biology about how non-linear careers are increasingly common, but funding agencies and search committees penalize these paths. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/...

Can we disentangle climate and microbial diversity effects on soil respiration? Daniela Guasconi and I showed our first insights from the #HoliSoils project at the #BolinDays organised by @bolincentre.bsky.social). Exciting two day event with climate scientists from different disciplines!

I'm learning about non-linear multiple regression and mixed effects models in #R. What are your preferred packages and functions? Any recommended reading?

This week I attended the fantastic #HoliSoils annual project meeting in Freising. The wonderful people, two site visits, posters and keynote presentations gave a great overview of the sites, management/disturbance types, and tremendous amount of measurements. Looking forward to analysing the data!

Here's what I do according to my scholar profile. Something with models, carbon and water, soils and plants. With my new project, to be followed by the link with microbial diversity. Exciting times :)

My beautiful new workplace at Stockholm University! The building looks a bit dark in the morning, but what a warm welcome I received. It felt great to meet everyone in person. I can't wait to submit my PhD thesis and prepare to move our family to Sweden over the next few weeks.

With both problems & solutions clearly identified, there is little excuse not to act. It is now on stakeholders to take urgent measures to [...] prevent the continued use of public funding to perpetuate sexism and harassment doi.org/10.1038/s415... (what a depressing plot 😧⬇️)

New to bluesky! After a social media break, I want to reconnect with fellow scientists/individuals who write about (soil) biogeochemistry, mechanistic modeling, ecophysiology, women in STEM, R, volleyball, parents in academia, ... , . Following suggestions are welcome!
