soil biological communities and ecosystem functioning for agricultural sustainability @vandeheijdenlab, @agroscope, @UZH_ch
Joined November 2020
Franz Bender & Lutz Merbold from @Agroscope did a presentation on the Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) & its application in 🇨🇭. They shared the TAPE assessment results on the agroecological status of the Swiss Agricultural & Food systems at the national scale.

this is going to be a premiere! I’ll be giving my first presentation in French😎 at @terrabotanica in Angers. Thanks to @CStrulluDerrien for the invitation!
Réservez vos places! En collaboration avec Terra Botanica, la SESA invite Franz Bender (Agroscope, Zurich) à nous parler de la biodiversité des sols @terrabotanica @SFranzBender1

I'm seriously considering learning to play!! anyone planning to attend #ICOM12 who has acoustic talent 🤘please get in touch with @SFranzBender1 !
#Mycorrhiza and rock’n’roll? We’re looking for someone who can play some solid rock drums (think ac/dc or ramones) for a fun project during social events at #ICOM12 in Manchester 2024. Please spread the word or let me know if you know someone! 🤘@WaggCameron

Successful microbiome engineering in agricultural fields. Our new paper in @NatureMicrobiol demonstrates that large-scale inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi works and can promote crop yield up to 40%. https://t.co/cjjTH8o9Fj

Our new paper demonstrates that soil life is of pivotal importance for nutrient cycling in agroecosystems. With simplified soil communities we found 65% more nitrogen leaching losses and 97% higher emissions of N2O and N2. https://t.co/u6wYYTXf0u

Today I was able to spread the word about the importance of #soil to a wider audience with our #soilyourundies project by joining the german TV quiz show “Kaum zu Glauben” as a guest. It was recorded today and will be broadcasted on Sunday, Oct. 1st at 22:05 on channel NDR.

++ biodiversity in soil, but its rarely included in biodiv. conservation convos - why? Partly cause it's really hard to measure! New @CDFAnews report outlines framework for selecting soil biodiv. indicators including stakeholder feedback + expert opinion https://t.co/LRAjKM2ODv

If you care for biodiversity, you have to protect soils! Our recent estimates suggest that more than half of Earth’s species live in soil. @MAnthony02 @vandeHeijdenLab @agroscope @WSL_research @UZH_en
In our new study we estimate that soils harbour 59% of the global biodiversity and are the most species rich habitat on Earth. Over 500 million species/ taxa are associated to soil. https://t.co/7ANsGj0hSS
