🌲 Greetings from the Carpathian Mountains, Brasov, Romania!
Happy to be part of the BIOCOMP project — exploring the hidden biodiversity of deadwood, soil, and decomposers across forest ecosystems worldwide.

Great chance to visit the BIOCOMP field site in Swedish boreal forest. Thanks to Joakim Hjälten, Jörgen Sjögren, Anne-Maarit Hekkala and the Restoration Ecology Group at SLU in Umea for the trip and the excellent scientific discussions! @biocomp-erc.bsky.social

Bluesky account of the BIOCOMP project launched! We study diversity patterns of arthropods and microbes related to deadwood and soil as well as wood decomposition rates in managed and natural forests across the globe. Involving a large group of awesome collaborators! @biocomp-erc.bsky.social

We recently shipped the first samples for analysis, gathered in the Biocomp project site in the Netherlands: the forest reserve in the Speulderbos!
We are one of 47 global experiment sites to find out how decomposer communities impact carbon fluxes @biocomp-erc.bsky.social @patrickjansen.bsky.social

Twelve months of continuous camera trap data from Ireland. Natural forest: 31Gb per camera. Coniferous forest: 7Gb. Wonder if we'll find any differences? @biocomp-erc.bsky.social

Most of the camera triggers from our coniferous plot are sika deer or lost hikers, so this pine marten is a welcome spot @biocomp-erc.bsky.social

Happy to share some captures with digital twins of one of the standing trees, ground deadwood and even the decomposition experiment from @biocomp-erc.bsky.social sites. Scan: FJD S2 Max, Processing: Virtsilv algorithms

We rounded up fieldwork for 2025 with #BIOCOMP forest inventory at our Ankasa field site in Ghana. Of course, we didn't leave without a splash in River Ankasa and a spontaneous stop at the beach. 😀🌴

It's been a remarkable year for my group.

Throwback to when we set up our very first ever BIOCOMP plot in Germany — muddy boots and big ideas!

Two years later, the journey continues — decomposers still at work

That fungus definitely wasn't there when I set up the audio monitor six months ago. Wonder if we can hear it growing. @biocomp-erc.bsky.social

Prof. Akira Mori and his group, who manage the #BIOCOMP Japan site, visited us in Dresden last week.
Thank you so much, Prof. Mori.

We just started setting up a new #BIOCOMP site in Budongo Forest, Uganda. Thank you @shamikroy.bsky.social and @sebseibold.bsky.social for the possibility to contribute!

Martin, John Paul and their team are tirelessly working to set up the site.

Thank you, Akira Mori @akkym.bsky.social, for visiting us with part of you team! It was a pleasure to discuss our ongoing joint work and plan for more.

Today we kicked off year two of our partnership with #biocomp project, led by @sebseibold.bsky.social by setting up audiorecorders and camera traps. About time! A few snow patches still there, but the forest is gearing up for a busy season!

We had a productive and fun-filled discussion on the future of #BIOCOMP at Bavarian Forest National Park.

No surprise that there's so little regeneration of broadleaf trees in Glengarriff oak forest with all these sika deer around @biocomp-erc.bsky.social

Quite the decomposition...😄
@biocomp-erc.bsky.social During the second phase - the installation of the insect trap, we found the very first closed cage bunch. Location: Mongolia, unmanaged forest site NUM-Forest Station.

I’m just here supporting your IRB submission. They always ask about biocomp.
