- Dear #amf hive mind, look at this stained Plantago root. Can these little plushy structures really be arbuscules? I mean, "tree-like" describes it quite well, but I have never seen it like that. You?? @jpausch.bsky.social @joanabergmann.bsky.social @katiefield4.bsky.social @mrillig.bsky.social

- Dear #plantscience bubble, could somebody please point me towards a collection of nice scientific illustrations/icons etc for making sweet scientific figures? The websites I tried focus on human/animal icons... #root #research #plantsci #ecology @joanabergmann.bsky.social

- Reposted by Elsa MatthusIntense farming weighs heavily on soil quality! 🌱 Meet arbuscular mycorrhizal #fungi (AMF)🍄, symbionts that help plants acquire nutrients. Rog et al. explore which soils benefit most from AMF in #FEMSMicrobiolLett. @idorog.bsky.social @steffilutz.bsky.social @sfbender.bsky.social buff.ly/tblsBb1
- Reposted by Elsa MatthusWhat else are people using for public engagement with mycorrhiza? Would be keen to hear other ideas 😁
- Reposted by Elsa MatthusHow to teach kids (+ parents) the concept of mycorrhizal symbiosis? Here's a thread of things that we use @paszkowskilab.bsky.social 🧵 #outreach #fungi #plant #science

- @loutsi.bsky.social just talked about tropical tree species, and how knowing the belowground can help restoration efforts. Sweet talk, pretty venue at #rhizosphere6
- Day2 of #rhizosphere6 conference. Just listened to such an engaging talk by @katiefield4.bsky.social that I even forgot to take a photo. Great science uncovering the role of fine root endophytes, the #mycoromycotina. #MFRE, let's go!

- Reposted by Elsa Matthus🎉Happy 5th Birthday to the Root Economics Space!🌱 This fun blog from our colleagues @joanabergmann.bsky.social and Elsa Matthus at the @zalf.bsky.social celebrates 5 years of the Root Economics Space-a framework that describes the diverse root strategies to grow and survive belowgrond. #Ecology

- Reposted by Elsa MatthusNur um den Stand der Grundinventarisierung bei der Biodiversität in 2025 einmal aufzuzeigen und als artenreichstes Beispiel die heimischen Insekten zu nehmen: Es existiert bis heute bei keiner Bundesbehörde eine (angestrebt) vollständige Datenbank bzw. Referenzliste mit den bei uns bekannten Arten.
