New people, new projects, new results…but first: #sorting, #labelling, #FindingStuff,…welcome to Josefine, Thomas and many more! #Moss #Cyanobacteria discoveries abound!
After nearly 3.5 years of deliberations, researchers concluded their independent assessment of the origin of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2

Who can support vascular plant growth under climate change when they need more #Nitrogen? #Mosses and associated #nitrogen-fixing bacteria!! www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....
How do #moss-associated #diazotrophs respond to #ClimateChange and does the response depend on the positioning along a steep #precipitation gradient in the #Arctic? you can find all the answers here: dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb....
…with abstract submission deadline February: www.slu.se/en/about-slu...
Interested in #NitrogenBiogeochemistry, links to #Carbon & #Phosphorus cycling; the #Organisms involved in #NutrientCycling? Curious about #BorealForests and #Excursions to large-scale field experiments? Then join our session "Nitrogen Biogeochemistry..." at BIOGEOMON www.slu.se/en/about-slu...
🌍 Berkeley Earth’s 2025 Global Temperature Report is out.
2025 was the 3rd warmest year on record. Annual global temperature reached 1.44 ± 0.09°C above the pre-industrial baseline; 770 million people experienced locally record-warm annual conditions.
Full report: berkeleyearth.org/global-tempe...
Globally, no single day in 2025 was cooler than its 1991-2020 average.

Have you ever thought of #Moss as #TerrestrialSponges? Trapping #DNA from #Birds, #Amphibians, #Mammals, #Insects, #Microorganisms,....?! Yes, your local #moss holds many secrets! Thanks @kbodawatta.bsky.social for the lead and fun collaboration! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Big thanks for supporting our work on #NitrogenFixation #TraceGases and #VOCs... now possible to measure online and everywhere we want! #StayCurious @yijiao.bsky.social @riikkarinnan.bsky.social @voltcenter.bsky.social
Star Trek like ship in space
Rewatched some Star Trek tonight.
Still wild how a show about warp drives and weird nebulae ends up teaching the cleanest lessons about being human.
Every episode says the same thing in its own way:
‘Be curious. Be brave.
…Try not to fire phasers unless you really have to.”
Registration is now open for #BIOGEOMON 2026 in Umeå in June! Join us to discuss #Ecosystems in Transition. Also check the #NitrogenCycling session 😁 registration.invajo.com/3734d789-bd1...
