             Mountain roadsides promote arbuscular mycorrhizal communities (and especially so in regions traditionally poor in AM-plants🧐!) Another great usage of our growing global database and network! 
           A NEW global paper by the @MIREN_mountains network! And an intriguing one: we checked the impact of mountain roads on the dominant mycorrhizal community worldwide. In this summary👇, I'll show you how remarkably consistent these effects were...  https://t.co/QuoZaKGhmf

             The new MIREN Rock survey is looking pretty promising, based on our first scouting day at 'les Rochers de Freÿr' in southern Belgium. If you need further convincing to join our global cliff survey, the pictures in this blog from the field might be it!  https://t.co/5NE0LsSM0u

             I have a weak spot for master students approaching me with their own project idea, so now we'll be studying the impact of rock climbing on rock vegetation next year, and I love it😍!

             Are you ready to enter the treacherous swamps of Dark Diversity estimates? In a new paper in @JVegSci, we test the impact of methodological choices on dark diversity estimates. Brace yourselves, as the implications of methodological decisions are HUGE!  https://t.co/Qy3gNG4IDP

             Does microclimate data actually improve SDMs? Very much yes, and even at the European scale! The impressive outcome of a new @SoilTemp_proj-paper led by @HaesenStef now out in Ecology Letters. Why I think these results are extremely important? ⬇️
