For those of you that have teabag data published on ZENODO, we have created a TBIcommunity there. You can link your (existing) dataset to the tea bag index, or upload new ones zenodo.org/deposit/new?c=… and increase visiblity

EJP SOIL T2.4.6: We encourage all soil citizen science project coordinators to fill in the questionnaire by 15.10.22: askallo.com/s/EJP-Soil We aim to synthesise citizen science approaches used in agricultural soils in EU, led by AGES and INRAE.

And with that all of our teabags are buried! TBI Keen to see how they survive the dynamic environment braided river environment (& if they do to get an idea of microbial activity on these shifting gravel river islands)

Take tea break and register for the online TBI symposium 27th of March, 8:30CET! teatime4science.org/Symposium/

A few more days to register for our symposium at teatime4science.org/Symposium/. Looking forward to the keynote of François-Xavier Joly François-Xavier Joly entitled: 'Elucidating the drivers and mechanisms of plant litter decomposition'

In the keynote, François-Xavier will discuss how the relative importance of decomposition drivers depends on the choice of decomposing material, and explore the role of soil animals on decomposition beyond their contribution to litter mass loss in litterbags. Register to join!

The program of the TBI symposium is now online! Register now (or latest monday) on teatime4science.org/symposium

Lind et al., 2022 gave us an interesting perspective on our method so we wrote a reply. Hope it inspires you too. dx.doi.org/10.1002/ece3.1…

AI created a picture of a tea bag researcher. It even won a price at the photo-competition on AI-generated images at the KBC-days of Umeå University :) (DALL.E)

Our paper is out! Read all about global decomposition patterns! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Rooibos has a new EAN *5 063270 101612*. This is the exact equivalent of EAN 87 11327 5143 48 that is not sold anymore. The production location has moved which may mean a broader distribution across europe.
