This ⬇️ is amazing work that confirms the need to account for interactions between species traits & their exposure to environmental stressors when predicting species redistribution 🌏🏔 It is exactly what we claimed in a perspective published last year in @globalchangebio.bsky.social shorturl.at/DPMX1

Beautiful work by @olimeacock.bsky.social showing how interactions between species can change in predictable ways if they are mediated by changes to the environment. We hope this framework proves useful for linking between gLV and CR models and testing ecological hypotheses! Congratulations Oli!! 👏

Soil isn't just underground. With the help of networks of mycorrhizal fungi, soils are formed even on the most vertical cliffs. Underground Explorer Felipe Morales Armijo is working w/@spununderground.bsky.social to map vertical fungi across the cliffs of Mexico. Happy World Soils Day.

It’s out!! We subjected soils from 30 different locations across Europe to extreme events and found that soil fungal and bacterial communities showed consistent responses that could be predicted from their origin! With @knightjar.bsky.social and many collaborators! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
