Great Microbiology Colloquium at CMFI today! Kirsten Küsel (@kuesellab.bsky.social @microverse.bsky.social) shared insights on the groundwater microbiome, plus Kyle Mason-Jones (@unituebingen.bsky.social) on soil bacteriophages. Thanks to all for great talks and discussions! - Reposted by TERRA - Geo-Biosphere InteractionsWe are still looking for a PhD student to work on feedbacks between plant invasion and riverbank erosion, embedded in the @terra-cluster.org. In collaboration with geoscientists and modellers; cool combination of field work & experiments. Position is in the Tielbörger lab, in collab with our group.

- Reposted by TERRA - Geo-Biosphere InteractionsDo agricultural diversification practices pay off in the long run? Our new paper synthesizes 100+ years of evidence showing that diversification practices become more profitable over time and delivers growing benefits for soils, biodiversity, and carbon. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by TERRA - Geo-Biosphere InteractionsThe paper concludes that limited use and careful siting of CDR can limit its negative biodiversity consequences and may even bring direct benefits to biodiversity – either through avoided warming or direct co-benefits.
- Reposted by TERRA - Geo-Biosphere InteractionsThe authors argue that climate refugia, areas relatively unaffected by climate change, and biodiversity hotspots are both at risk. The study also found that non-high income countries have a disproportionately high land allocation for forestation in climate refugia areas.
- Reposted by TERRA - Geo-Biosphere InteractionsThe study also reveals a similar tension in the opposite direction: under strict enforcement of the internationally agreed Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, more than 50% of land allocated for CDR deployment could become unavailable.
- Reposted by TERRA - Geo-Biosphere InteractionsCountries' carbon dioxide removal plans pose substantial threats to biodiversity, new research reveals. Analysis by the scientists shows that up to 13% of global areas of high biodiversity importance are allocated for land-intensive CDR deployment. 🧵
