Happy to share our latest work towards monitoring functional diversity using #Sentinel-2 time series at @esa.int's #BIOSPACE25 conference in Frascati, Italy. Visit our poster and talk to our team from @spatialgenetics.bsky.social and @wslresearch.bsky.social! 😊

🚀 The Genes from Space team recently hosted a workshop in Bern with over 100 participants (!!) joining to learn about our new monitoring tool. It enables users to use space-based Earth observation data to assess habitat suitability and estimate key genetic diversity metrics worldwide🌍

🌍🌳 Using Sentinel 2- data, we showed that Swiss forests with higher functional diversity resist & recover better from drought! A step toward scaling BEF insights to real-world forests! Check out our new publication in GCB by @helfenstein.earth et al. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A couple of years ago, I switched fields a bit by starting to work with European beech. The more I get to know this tree species, the more I appreciate and love it. Now, the first paper – written together with MSc student Dave Kurath – is out! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

I am excited that our symposium "Adaptation to environmental changes in trees through the lens of common gardens and genomics" has been accepted to be included at the @eseb.bsky.social conference in August in Barcelona. Be ready to submit your abstracts!

So this happened. Somebody is not getting tenure @ethzurich.bsky.social. It took a lot of people with a lot of courage and strength to make this happen. Thinking of them today! www.tagesanzeiger.ch/klimaforsche...

New paper from our group! We found that maize plants from push-push fields had a higher relative abundance of metabolites toxic to insect herbivores. This suggests that maize plants growing with companion plants are "stronger" than maize plants growing alone. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
