#Drying affects #river functioning at the network scale. Now, we know that local drying events interact w/ regional connectivity to control 🍂decomposition by shaping decomposers #diversity. Curious? Learn more in our new paper in @globalchangebio.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Drying Halves Decomposition Rates in River Networks by Decreasing Decomposer DiversityShort drying events can have long-lasting impacts on the functioning of whole river networks. We found that just a few days without water reduced leaf decomposition by up to half, because drying redu...onlinelibrary.wiley.com

Big pleasure to present my project #STARDRY in #AIL2026. We will explore how #drying can control the #stability of functioning through changes in the environment and/or community turnover across river networks. Keep tuned for more exciting ecological research coming!🤩

8y not attending an @aillimnologia.bsky.social meeting are definetively too much time. What a pleasure to be part of such an active and moving association. Thanks a lot for all the great work of the committee board and all the best luck for the entering one. #AIL2026

#Hydropower: Green energy? at which cost? Check the case of the #Neretva river in Bosnia.

Starting new teaching and that means: #BackToTheRoots📚 What is your favorite, reference book for #Ecology?

A new, different ⭐ was born!🤩 Today we started #STARDRY, an interdisciplinary project to study how #drying controls #functioning #stability in river networks through spatio-temporal changes of #communities🪲🦠 Thanks to my #EcologistDreamTeam for an amazing kickoff meeting🔝 Stay tuned!

When my #ecologist & #runner sides meet: - The runner: yey, feels like progress!💪🏽 - The ecologist: mmm... What could be the R2 of that relationship?🤔 😂

Yesterday I had a great time with colleagues from the Dep. of Ecology from @ua.es talking about #Biodiversity-Functioning relationships in #DryingRivers🤩. Great discussions about how these systems resemble #soils & how much we can learn from them. Big thanks to Santi Soliveres for the invitation!

It took a long way, but FINALLY! Happy to share our efforts to investigate how #drying alters the #biodiversity control of 🍂decomposition in #RiverNetworks. We found that JUST 6 days of drying⚠️ halves decomposition rates due to structural community shifts🪲➡️🦠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Drying halves decomposition rates in river networks by disrupting structure-function linkagesRiver drying is intensifying worldwide due to climate change and water abstraction, with major consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In river networks, drying not only alters local ...www.biorxiv.org

How much #CO2 do #UrbanFreshwaters emit?🌆 In this paper in @aslo.org led by Clara Romero we measured fluxes across lentic & lotic waters of Berlin, showing: -Strong differences among ecosystems -Drivers linked to DOM & land cover ~8.8 Gg C-CO₂ emitted annually🤯 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/lno.... check it out

Carbon dioxide emissions across contrasting urban freshwater ecosystemsCarbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from freshwaters represent a globally important carbon flux. However, CO2 fluxes from urban waters remain poorly constrained, and challenges remain for reliable upscali...doi.org

Really excited to say that my #FirstPI project got funded!🤩 My PI-adventure starts with #STARDRY, an #interdisciplinary project w/ an amazing team where we will test how spatiotemporal #variability of the environment🍂 & communities🪲 affect #FunctionalStability in #drying river networks. Stay tuned!

🍂Leaves don’t just fall into rivers—they go on a journey! The #drying of rivers & shifts in #land-use alter in which conditions leaves can enter streams & thus affect their decomposition. Amazing study led by Margot Jans. Check it out! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
