Ecologist, Scientific Coordinator of the PhenObs Project @phenobs.bsky.social
I was a guest at the “Pop-Up Forum” at the @uni-jena.de to discuss the “Silent Crisis – Global Biodiversity” with citizens. It was a great format that allowed us to engage on an equal level and a wonderful opportunity to connect science with the public👍🌍. #ScienceCommunication #Biodiversity
Check out this exciting special focus edited by @phenobs.bsky.social and published in @funecology.bsky.social. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
iDiv Biodiversity ResearchA new Special Focus in @funecology.bsky.social brings together 13 studies showing that shifts in seasonal timing — like earlier flowering, changing breeding periods, or longer fruiting windows — are shaped by more than climate change alone. 🌱 🌸 🍒 🔗 www.idiv.de/climate-chan...
It was a very exciting and inspiring meeting this week. An event like this really highlights how much fun it is to work in science😊.
phenobsTo look back on 9 years of PhenObs and to organise the coming funding phase until 2030, we had a meeting at @idiv-research.bsky.social this week. Together with many international guests, we laughed, discussed and worked on next steps.🌸🌱🌍. PhenObs can start the coming years with renewed energy👍.
It was a wonderful conference with many great scientists from all over the world. The hospitality in Brazil was simply heart-warming 🇧🇷🌻. #phenology #networking #conferenc
phenobsWe were represented at Pheno2025 conference (@biometeorology.bsky.social) in 🇧🇷 for the last 5 days. The days were full of exciting presentations and intensive exchange about phenological research. We look forward to deepening the collaborations we made in the future👍🌍.
Collagues recently published a "Viewpoint" article on the possible usages of conservation seed banks in the @newphyt.bsky.social . A very exciting article and great to see that resurrection ecology is still a relevant🌱. 🗞️ doi.org/10.1111/nph.... #seed #conservation #plants
Looking back to look ahead: the temporal dimension of conservation seed bank collectionsA wealth of plant material and data is stored globally in conservation seed banks. This material represents not only a repository of plant genetic resources but also an asset for nature-based solutio...doi.orgI'm looking forward to conduct this research project investigating belowground phenology of herbaceous species👍🏼🌻. It is great that the the @idiv-research.bsky.social offers different funding oppertunities for young scientists😊 #botanicalgardens #phenology #research
phenobsIt is time to go "belowground" and starting monitoring of root phenology of herbaceous plant🌻. Thanks to funding by the @idiv-research.bsky.social we could set-up a study site with minirhizotrons at the botanical garden of Jena👍🏼. #phenology #roots #jena #science #phenobs #soil
