Cool results from the #funpotential project presented by @mikkopel.bsky.social today at the biodivclim final event @biodiversa.eu.
They help understand how and why tree diversity can help to adapt forest to climate change.

Our forests are failing their climate stress test. How do we build resilience?
Our latest brief shows that diversifying forests away from vulnerable monocultures is key but monitoring gaps and policy barriers remain. #BiodivClim #NatureRestoration

🌡️🌱 @microservices.bsky.social (#BiodivClim) shows how different farming practices affect ammonia-oxidizing communities and nitrogen cycling under drought. Crucial for predicting the impact of climate change on soil functions!
Organic and conventional cropping systems modulate the response of nitrogen-cycling microbial guilds to drought with potential implications for plant nutrition. Thrilled to share the 2nd publication from the @biodiversaplus.bsky.social project @microservices.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.so...

🌳 #ACORN ( #BiodivClim) used nSSRs & cpSSRs to study downy oak genetics in Central Europe. Two main clusters found, shaped by landscape & introgression with sessile oak. Likely post-glacial refugia identified. Important for conservation & seed sourcing!

🌾 #MICROSERVICES ( #BiodivClim) shows drought boosts soil EPS—protective sugars & proteins—early in wheat growth, but biodynamic soils divert more rhizodeposits and mucilage to microbial biomass over EPS, hinting at better drought buffering.
