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!

#Data such as on:

⚫ carbon
💧water
🪱 biodiversity
🐸 environment
🤝 socioeconomy
🔍 scientific monitoring

… and more can be found on Restor. Since its launch, Restor's collected feedback to improve the platform. Now, new features are soon here 🎉 restor.eco/blog/the-next-…

This is amazing, congratulations Nina Buchmann!

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

#Drylands are home to 2.1bn people and harbor some of the world’s rarest #biodiversity 🌿

But they're also highly sensitive to ecological changes and prone to abrupt shifts. Understanding where & why they occur is key – this new #research gives answers: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

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 !

Restoring Earth is impossible without considering #fungi ! Join the conversation taking place in-person and online less than a week from now. Check out the program and grab your ticket if you haven't already >> serralves.pt/en/atividades-…
Let's talk #FungiInRestoration 🍄

If you are interested on abrupt shifts in drylands, on knowing their prevalence and the reasons why they occur, please check our new contribution in PNAS: pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…

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.
