🌿🎉 We’re excited to share the first paper from the LUCSES project! 📄Ericaceous shrub encroachment influences the structure of soil fungal communities in subalpine grasslands. 🔗authors.elsevier.com/a/1khMu3JGmRQT… #LUCSES #FungalEcology #ShrubEncroachment
We had a great time in the #EGU24 last April! The austrian LUCSES team presented recent results on #shrub encroachment processes in the Alps. It was good fun to debate with other scientists and learn from so many disciplines. Thanks @EuroGeosciences for such an amazing week!
The LUCSES team goes to the #EGU24 next week! Come and meet us at the following sessions

Happy #WorldSoilDay! Photos that take us back to the summer campaigns with a motivated team sampling our much-loved soil
Congratulations Sandra!
Congratulations to our colleagues @ElenaTelloGarc and @LeitingerGeorg for their recently published paper!
Wishing a nice farewell to @Lenchen9teufel as she moves on to new adventures. Thank you for your dedication and extraordinary work. And thank you for this incredible present crafted from leaves, roots, and flowers from our own shrubs! Best luck in all your future endeavors!
Fungi served as plant root systems for ~50 million years until plants could evolve their own. Watch the new animation about mycorrhizal fungi by May Kindred-Boothby @spununderground @fungifoundation narration @MerlinSheldrake & music @cosmosheldrake vimeo.com/831537940
Our #lysimeters are almost ready for a #drought experiment in the Stubai Valley!
Le tri, c'est fini! We have finished washing and sorting the roots from our last field campaign. Thank you all for your invaluable help!
Congrats to @Lenchen9teufel on successfully defending her Master's thesis! She is doing a wonderful job assessing the effects of shrub encroachment on mycorrhizal symbiosis within the LUCSES project
Last week the #LUCSES team had its 2nd annual meeting. Thank you all for two exciting and productive days of sharing preliminary results and enjoying time together!
Asked #ChatGPT to write a poem about #Mycorrhizas This was the result.

We had an amazing week learning and talking about mountains at the #IMC2022! Sandra Lavorel and Lucía Laorden-Camacho presented some preliminary data on the effects of shrub encroachment on soil nutrients and microbial communities. Thanks @imountainconf!
The French team tried to employ the local cows to help us with soil sampling for LUCSES. They are very curious at first, but unfortunately, their attention span is quite short 😂
Root morning! 🤪 after some intense weeks, the roots from our encroached grasslands are washed and ready for DNA analysis and observation of mycorrhizal colonization! Big thanks to @Lenchen9teufel, Ramona, and Julian for their work!
Last week we had our LUCSES Annual meeting! Thank you all for your work and the inspiring discussions! Here, the team testing the prototype of our new plant canopy imager ;)
