Why does resource addition lead to species loss in grasslands worldwide?PNASNews. Surprisingly, the role of increase in biomass is modest. Species loss is mainly driven by nitrogen's "direct" effects. Led by Nir Band, my first student! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Are you also interested in the productivity-diversity relationship? This global meta-analysis might be for you. Very excited about my first publication PNASNews! Had a great experience with Niv DeMalach and Ronen Kadmon as my MSc mentors. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We are grateful to all our colleagues that conducted the original studies (we cite each of them ~200 refs) including Nutrient Network

Extremely excited for #INTECOL2022, my first international conference! An excellent opportunity to learn more about ecology and, of course, meet new and interesting people. I literally can't wait 😃

Stumbled upon this very interesting discussion, initiated by @bolkerb. Niv DeMalach, had to share this with you and I'm very curious about your take.

Just heard a great talk from Lotte Korell🕊, describing her fantastic experiment about the effects antagonists have on plant and how these effects interact with climate change. Very curious about this work and looking forward to the upcoming paper. Another gem INTECOL 2022 Geneva!

Can't believe how fast time goes by INTECOL 2022 Geneva. Tomorrow it's my turn to present my study! Join me in room 1 (floor -1) at 9:45 and hear about why high levels of soil resources cause biodiversity loss. See you there :)

The last day of INTECOL 2022 Geneva, but definitely no decline in quality! A great plenary in the morning by the esteemed Peter Chesson, followed by a remarkable presentation by Caroline Daniel, and now looking forward to a plenary by Christian Körner soon. What a day!

Our new paper PNASNews is addressing a long-standing question in #ecology, #biodiversity sciences and #conservation biology: How do multiple #species #coexist in fragmented landscapes? A 🧵on multispecies coexistence: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… (1/7)

Please RT: exciting postdoc opportunity on a timely question: When are we expecting alternative stable states (catastrophic regime shifts once passing a tipping point)?

JOB ALERT! Soil microbiome research. We are recruiting computational and experimental postdocs and PhD students for an European Research Council (ERC) funded project on the rhizosphere microbiome. Omri Finkel עמרי عُمري 🎗️ @amirberez Hebrew University

(1/4) Why does nitrogen enrichment reduce species performance? Is it because of competitive exclusion or due to nitrogen-specific detrimental effects (e.g., toxicity, acidification)? Oikos onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/oi…

Cool new paper about the mechanisms underlying plant species loss, check it out! And congrats to Cheng et al. #plantecology #nitrogen #competitionforlight #speciesdiversity

(1/6) Can we detect causality in observational studies? Let's explore three methods leading to contradicting results (CCM, SEM and an econometric approach). #CausalityDebate #ResearchMethods #DataAnalysis #ScientificDebate

1/🔍Can we reach generalizations using #metaanalysis? Just had my mind blown by this must-read paper by @BecksSpake et al. that made me rethink many papers of mine. Laura Dee @lauradee.bsky.social #Ecology Nir Band (nature.com/articles/s4155…)
