Our #science focuses on understanding fundamental #ecology , restoring degraded habitat & protecting biodiverse ecosystems. #FromDevilsBreath shows how our #research charts a course to harnessing the power of nature to reduce carbon emissions: msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/-t… ETH Zurich
The current rate of species extinction is far higher than the average during the past 🔟 million years.
Curbing #biodiversity loss is essential to ensure the health of people and our planet👫🌏

Great talks from Thomas Crowther and Colin Averill on the crucial role of fungi on forest restoration! Super relevant for my postdoc project on the global recovery of tree-soil fungi interactions in post-agricultural forests🍄🌳 #FungiInRestoration
Great opening talk from Thomas Crowther highlighting the importance of microbial communities in restoration and functional types/fungal biogeography in driving global carbon dynamics. #FungiInRestoration Crowther Lab
PostDoc and/or PhD student position on offer in soil microbiology / ecology / bioinformatics for a person from UKRAINE (displaced after 24 Feb or in near future) in my lab. Includes research funds

Say hi to Jeff!👋 For his bachelor thesis in computer science, Jeff is going to work with Daniel Maynard & Andrea Paz, PhD on a project all about plant functional trait choices and how they impact our conclusions about ecological processes🌍 We wish him a great start!
Talk #fungi & restoration with us at 'Fungi in Ecosystem Restoration' next week!
Among the speakers, Thomas Crowther & Colin Averill will explain it's key to include fungi in restoration & how soil fungi community composition relates to forest tree growth

When it comes to #BiodiversityLoss , threatened plants or big mammals quickly come to mind. But what about the #SoilMicrobiome ? We need to protect the belowground just like the aboveground. In fact, restoring what's below may speed up nature's regeneration: doi.org/10.1038/s41564…
Community engagement is crucial to restoration success.
In Chiang Mai, Thailand, scientists and villagers worked together to restore #agriculture and #biodiversity !

Drylands are essential repositories of biodiversity!
Our new collaborative research led by Miguel Berdugo shows how climate change and land use make drylands vulnerable to abrupt tipping points that threaten biodiversity and the people who depend on it.
