It's been a great joy to host Prof. David Johnson @SoilEcolUoM over past days in ☀️🍃 Estonia and wittness my first PhD student getting a PhD! Thank you both for the cheerful and stimulating discussio and congratulations Dr. Liu! 👩🎓

We are reopening a search for a postdoc in my group. I am looking for a curious person with an interest in plant-soil / plant-insect interactions to join our large and diverse team (research-groups.usask.ca/ben…). 1/4

Do you have a PhD, your topic is related to plants or soil and you are looking for new challenges?🧐 Come join us @PlantEcoEvoUT! We are almost at full swing with nice people and some of the research established but plenty of more to discocer @ERC_Research project!

Interested in plant functional traits? Or just in traits of any organism? Check our discussion in @Nature on how trait selection influences (or not) the characteristics of synthetic functional spaces like the global spectrum of plant form and function:

My lab is looking for two postdocs, a PhD student, and a technician to join a set of new, collaborative, and well-funded projects exploring multi-trophic interactions in grasslands and identifying management interventions that can enhance the associated ecosystem services. 1/4

#Summer weather in combination with #spring vegetation was just perfect for the first fieldwork of the season! 😎Grow well, little #BugNet phytometers, we'll be back soon after setting up a new experiment for #PlantSoilAdapt 💪 @PlantEcoEvoUT @tonissonan @sk_sepp

Children in Estonia have less allergy if they live close to forests, grasslands and wetlands (but agricultural fields help little). Protective association increases with spatial scale up to 9 km. Collaboration of children doctors and ecologists @unitartu: doi.org/10.1111/cea.14317

👩🔬 So proud to see Prof. Marina Semchenko giving a great inaugural lecture about 🌱at the Assembly Hall of the University of Tartu today.@unitartu @PlantEcoEvoUT

Ever wonder where N-fixing prokaryotes dwell globally?
Our @UtPlant and @tedersoo combined global sampling reveals N-fixer richness is mainly driven by bioclimatic variables and pH, but is also related to the community composition of other prokaryotes.

🥳 What a year it has been- ERC Consolidator grant to Prof. Marina Semchenko @PlantEcoEvoUT, Estonian Research Grant to myself and the University of Tartu Badge of Distinction for the both of us with the great support of@UtPlant represented by Prof. M. Moora (middle)😀 @unitartu

The second day of #ICOM11 has finished with very nice talks again (it was hard to choose among sessions)! Note for those who missed a talk, the organisers aim to put many talks (videos) online from the 5th of August (untill the 10th of August), so you can view them again 👍

New study by @tanel_vahter in Estonia indicates that #pesticides reduce #mycorrhizal fungal diversity. The results obtained complement earlier work by Sallach et al. (nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…) and a study by Edlinger et al. (nature.com/articles/s41559-0…).

Marina Semchenko gave a wonderful keynote on plant traits and rhizosphere processes! #AboveBelow22 . Most microbes seem to be generalist? We should consider root exudation as an important plant trait - wish it would be easy to measure! And so much more to chat about...
