So excited to see this experiment making waves in the news. I'm happy to have contributed some bacterial bioinformatics work to this awesome study led by Mia Maltz at UConn and Emma Aronson at UC Riverside. Mia Maltz emmala @PhillipsMichala @LintonFreund

Come to our session @ #AGU24 ! ❄️ Curious how changing winters reshape ecosystems? Explore how warmer temps & shifting snow dynamics disrupt mutualisms, nutrient cycles, and whole ecosystems. From soil microbes to weather systems, we dive into winter's cascading climate impacts.

Leverage the power of clustering techniques to uncover patterns and group similar data points based on their features, revealing hidden insights in your data! In a recent discussion, important clustering methods and their applications were highlighted. Here’s a brief overview of

Seasons change, but do bacteria change with them? New research suggests that some bacteria can sense and adapt to seasonal changes, challenging what we thought we knew about rapidly dividing microbes. asm.social/2dy

It was great to meet up with friends old and new at #AGU24 #theAGU 🦠🌱⛰️🌎🌌

New preprint where we show that differences among ectomycorrhizal trees in their leaf litter nutrient stoichiometry, resource use patterns, and microbiome assembly can drive surrounding soil organic matter properties and ecosystem function biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Best sci com i’ve read in ages 😂

Fungal small RNA molecules (sRNAs) can silence plant genes to establish beneficial symbioses. This study by researchers from Università di Torino and CRAG explains how: bit.ly/49nthx4 New Phytologist

Fungal genomes are 🤯🤯🤯 We wrote this review to summarise some lessons we learned in the last 20 years of fungal genomics. Excited to see where our field is going in the next 20 years to come! Thanks a lot to all co-authors YuSeng Huang Thorsten Langner and Sophia 🧵👇

My co-PI Steven Allison is looking for a postdoc to complete the modeling aspects of our DOE Office of Science funded research predicting how microbes contribute to nitrogen cycling changes after fires! Please apply! #AcademicTwitter #job recruit.ap.uci.edu/JPF09456

My entire scientific career I have been cautioning against climate doomerism. It’s dangerously unhealthy for young people and leads into apathy. Humanity won on ozone depletion. Much of the world has been successful on acid rain and air pollution. Climate is winnable.

New study where we show how diversity-productivity relationships in forests may be mediated by more complex canopies, with structural diversity driving productivity more than species diversity esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…

Can fungal endophytes help save plants from warming? Probably not :( Warming disrupted plant-fungal endophyte symbiosis, with stronger effects in leaves than roots biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cropped fields aren’t degraded nature—they’re designed to feed us, which requires trade-offs. Using natural ecosystems as a benchmark for soil health or regenerative ag is misleading. My latest shows why: csanr.wsu.edu/soil-organic-m…

We found that AMF gave more P to plants at lower C:P at higher AMF diversity. We grew three plant communities of either legumes, forbs or grasses with a gradient of AMF species richness and radiolabeled the AMF P pool and plant C pool (chamber in pics) nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Ectomycorrhizal trees are different and it matters for soil organic matter! We show these mutualisms are not functionally homogenous, with implications for the generalizability of coarse mycorrhizal associations in understanding forest ecosystem function. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…
