Check out our new paper proposing an in depth revision of the concept of soil fertility:
The Plant–soil synchrony in nutrient cycles: Learning from ecosystems to design sustainable agrosystems:

Led by S. Fontaine, G. Alvarez and a great team work!
“#PhD Offer in my lab! How grassland diversity has changed over the last decades in France? What are the underlying drivers? What are the consequences for grassland resilience? If you are interested answering these questions, you can apply here ⬇️ https://t.co/YMAn6tdblI”
🌿 New #OpenAccess article by @[email protected] et al looks at plant communities of montane #grasslands 🌿
Do they passively restore after 6 years of intensification followed by 5 years of extensification?

Positive effects of habitat patch size on #biodiversity are often extrapolated to infer negative effects of #habitat #fragmentation at #landscape scales
F. Riva and L. Fahrig tested this extrapolation, finding that it is fallacious
They conclude that #protecting and managing #small patches of habitat will play an important role in halting ongoing biodiversity loss

Bioenergetic control of soil carbon dynamics across depth
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-34951-w
Check it out!
The high persistence of deep soil carbon is controlled by bioenergetic constraints of decomposers resulting from the poor energy quality of soil carbon together with the lack of energy supply by roots due to their low density at depth

Homage to Richard Lewontin (1929–2021)
‘Just as there can be no organism without an environment, so there can be no environment without an organism’ Lewontin 2000
Lab teams are dynamic entities in which a lot depends on the principal investigator (PI) and the framework set by them. However, within these parameters, there is a lot of room for lab members to contribute to a happy and productive environment. Often doctoral students or postdocs (or other staff) may underestimate how much of a difference they can really make. Here are 10 simple rules on how to help make a lab a better place; these rules are mostly aimed at building better lab communities, where people help each other, look out for each other, and take an interest in critically questioning the status quo.
