Symbiotic status alters fungal eco-evolutionary offspring trajectories A massive collaborative effort led by Carlos Aguilar-T 🏳️‍🌈 🇩🇪 🇸🇻 🇫🇮 uncovers patterns in fungal spore size Just out in Ecology Letters #fungi #ecology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

Excited to share my 1st postdoc work published in Soil Biology & Biochemistry Journal! We explore how ectomycorrhizal N uptake inhibits saprotrophic decomposition via a process-based model. Kudos to my amazing collaborators Caitlin Hicks Pries, Benjamin Sulman, and Nina Wurzburger! doi.org/10.1016/j.soil…

📢📢 Paper out. Studying soil moisture and temperature dynamics we can provide insights about the different resilience between a mature and a young forest, and how the droughts can be a game changer in temperate climate. Full paper on Hydrological Processes: dx.doi.org/10.1002/hyp.14…

My first international conference during my PhD study. Excited to return to Manchester, where I got my master degree! Thanks for the chance to present our work. #ICOM12

Published today in Nature Climate Change, led by Prof. Rich Norby and colleagues BIFoR, showing " Enhanced woody biomass production in a mature temperate forest under elevated CO2. rdcu.be/dQDpw

eCO2 can increase NPP and biomass even in old forests, potentially due to a large increase in root exudates (and mediated by ectomycorrhizal fungi?): nature.com/articles/s4155…

Very interesting finding in ECM fungi's organic N mobilization ability!
