Microbial inoculation works best in fields with poor soil health and low productivity. In our new paper led by Ido Rog, with Stefanie Lutz, Franz Bender, Raphaël Boussageon, Antonin Lambach, Klaus Schlaeppi & Natacha Bodenhausen we show that mycorrhizal fungal inoculation

Ariel and Kfir Bibas were 9 months and 4 years old when they were abducted from their beds by terrorists. This is not political. #BringThemHomeNow
Ariel #Bibas is marking his 5th birthday today while being held hostage in #Gaza. Ariel, along with his brother Kfir, their mother Shiri, and father Yarden, were abducted by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7. 115 people remain hostages. We must continue to fight to #bringthemhome.🎗️

Ariel (4) and Kfir Bibas (10 months) were taken hostage on October 7th by Hamas-ISIS. Please, don't stop talking about them and share. We want our babies home. Who kidnaps small children from their bed? #BringThemBack

How is post-drought recovery affected by different levels of embolism in Aleppo pines and what happens under a recurring drought scenario? @YaelWag @NadalSala @PlantEcoLab @HochbergUri Read more https://t.co/cFegV5G2xY

@OlfaZarrouk Dear Olfa, This has probably been the saddest three weeks of my life and your twit makes me even sadder. I've seen many anti-Israeli tweets, but somehow it is harder with the people you know. So, I decided to reply to clarify why reading your tweet is difficult for me. /1

I have only used this platform to share professional information. Until now. I need your help. My friend and her young children were kidnapped to Gaza. Please share their story and help bring them home. https://t.co/wkTJBE8zJ3

Happy to share that after a long long time, work, multiple iterations and a lot of detrmenation, our paper about decoupling VPD and soil moisture is finally out in @PlantCellEnvir. #ecophys, #drylands. @dan_yakir, @JoseLab16,@PlantEcoLab, @j_d_mueller,etc

Very excited to share that my last paper from my PhD is finally out! https://t.co/ziii8tIJYs We did two experiments to explore the resilient of Grapevine under two extreme scenarios: 1) drought + heat waves (vineyard) 2) early season' drought (pots) #drought #heatwave

On the other hand, trees that had lost 50% of their xylem to embolism were slower to reach fatal water potential during a successive drought compared to trees with intact xylem. So perhaps reduced gs is not so bad?…

We found that gs was negatively correlated to the level of drought-induced embolism for at least a month following drought end (but not after 8 months)

Our paper is out!🥳 @HochbergUri @PlantEcoLab @NadalSala (& Tamir Klein) Aleppo pines can endure high levels of embolism during drought, but what is the effect on recovery? And is that necessarily bad (under recurring droughts)? 🥵🌲 https://t.co/1Ot6jQVC25

Recent findings suggest that trees can survive high levels of drought-induced xylem embolism. In many cases, the embolism is irreversible and, therefore, can potentially affect post-drought recovery...

Everything, everywhere, all at once? An atlas of carbohydrate-related genes expressed across poplar organs in response to drought stress is out. Created by the one and only @fox_hagar, a Ph.D. candidate whom I co-supervise with Tamir Klein.

Continuously and simultaneously measuring desert Acacia species revealed their water-spending strategy. Why would a desert tree use a liberal spending strategy? and how it also reflects their distribution in the field? Check out my new published paper https://t.co/91tXt55Cm1

I am happy to share the first paper from Asaf Alon's Ph.D. published in @FunEcology. Acclimation limits for embolism resistance and osmotic adjustment accompany the geographical dry edge of Mediterranean species. https://t.co/9mqljmWxCg
