Excited to share our new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social showing that soil fungi, unlike bacteria, remain fully active under severe drought conditions, and also invest in synthesis of storage compounds. Led by the amazing @loutsi.bsky.social and Alberto Canarini. Thread 1/2 rdcu.be/d1Tyg

Have you wondered why fungi could have more resilience during environmental conditions? They can produce storage compounds which may help them to remain active! Thanks to all the team, esp. Alberto Canarini and Jörg Schnecker for conducting this experiment during challenging lockdowns!

I created a new starter pack for farmers, agronomists, researchers, and supporters of #soilhealth and #regenerativeagriculture, from small farms to watersheds to global scale adoption. Let's all collaborate and learn from each other. Let me know if you'd like to be added. go.bsky.app/SWVwnSi
