Very important context for global analyses that use whatever data is available... including, in many cases, coarse-level trait descriptions for plant functions that represent highly variable, interactive processes. 🌲 != 🌳

🎉 We’re hiring! Two ERC-funded #PostdocJobs on insect–phytopathogen mutualisms are available in my lab. Explore the chemical and molecular evolution of symbioses! 🧪Chemical ecology: tinyurl.com/chem-ecol-symb 🦠Phytopathology & mutualisms: tinyurl.com/symb-plantpath

Grapevines interact closely with microbes, forming a microbiome that affects soil, vine health, and wine quality. On #BiodiversityDay, the OIV emphasizes its document on the significance of microbial biodiversity for sustainable viticulture. Full document: buff.ly/YBgDCHs

Very nice (and comprehensive) metagenomic analysis of the effects of multiple concurrent global change factors on soils in grasslands! 🌍 Further highlights the need to investigate these multi-factor treatments across systems... including in agriculture! 🍇🌽🌾🌻
