You may ask: “why study ancient enzymes? Who cares what life looked like 3 billion years ago?” Because evolution may hold answers to problems we still struggle with, and it can guide our efforts. New paper from our lab! 🧵

Does how we measure P use efficiency (PUE) matter? Yes; by *a lot*. PUE estimated indirectly by difference (crop P uptake with vs without P fertilizer) gives lower, and sometimes negative, PUE values than when determined directly by radioisotope labeling. acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ae…

Paper now out in Science Advances “Soil carbon formation is promoted by saturation deficit and existing mineral-associated carbon, not by microbial carbon- use efficiency” with Noah Sokol science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

Is it all about timing? Read my latest article in New Phytologist to find out how space and time shape the relationships among bacteria, ectomycorrhizal fungi, and land trees. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

The final version of this viewpoint paper is now out in Functional Ecology Clarifying the definition of common mycorrhizal networks besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Follow-up papers: see thread 🧵

... and this sucessfully: happy that Sara fournd out that #root hairs express their full potential for #phosphorus mobilization only under N fertilization, but also that phosphorimaging helps to identify the #AMF-based P mining from large areas beyond the #rhizosphere: stay tuned

But we're not only active on the least-fertile #soils: in today's poster session Yihan Pu (Nr 248) & Zakaria Ziche (Nr 156) demonstrate, how we aim to exploit #subsoils, their #AMF & facilitation for future agriculture in mid Europ. Ongoing projects open for discussion: step by😀

Oh, and in case you want to see another horrible soil - lowest fertility but in this case ferralic with low pH - visit Rozy Munene at Poster 282 at #rhizosphere6 and see, how #rhizosphere traits explain #drought resitance of #Sorghum growing under these miserable conditions 😃

Nothing has changed, absolutely nothing.

Impressive invited talk at #rhizosphere6 of Mutez Ali Ahmed: visualization of the #rhizosphere interface has progressed rapidely, so that we can indeed observe #drought reponses of the soil-plant system on such a small scale. Congrats: looking forward to first outcomes of your new CT

On time for #rhizosphere6 our #EarthShape (DFG public | @[email protected] SPP1803) study by Doreen Fleck & Jens Boy on #mycorrhiza impact on biogenic weathering is out: #Nutrient acquisition by mineral weathering is key in arid ecosystems and ongoing despite water scarcity tinyurl.com/5xvajja3

This study complements perfectly previous results of Stock & Köster revealing a shift from recycling to aquisition nutritional mode from humid to arid along the gradient and that #AMF and organic acids are both changing their role tinyurl.com/384t9x27 & tinyurl.com/bdmwf3xb
