papers one published in the previous year * 2 - that should be the number or reviews one is doing, at least for those with stable positions. But consider that many who decline receive 50-100 invitations per year.

New study on the spatial dimension of multiple stressors. Gemma Burgazzi (iDiv) did a great job in running this mesocosm experiment. Effects of single stressors cascaded along the network, with stronger downstream effects. Thanks to all contributors! @leeselab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ecog...

Data source and code are of course freely available. And hopefully a useful source for future predictive models in aquatic stress ecology.

And we can now also align species richness to combinations of stressors (Fig 4):

Daniel Hering @danielheringude.bsky.social · 14d

We observed consistent relation with salinity, oxygen depletion, and fine sediment accumulation, while the relation with nutrient enrichment and warming varied among groups. The results allow us, amongst others, to predict how species richness changes with increasing stressors intensity (Fig. 3):

Daniel Hering @danielheringude.bsky.social · 14d

The figure (1a) shows the probability distribution on how species number of the different organism groups are associated with increasing stress intensity. Invertebrates are generally most sensitive and species number is negatively associated to six of the stressors.

Daniel Hering @danielheringude.bsky.social · 14d

We extracted data on 1,332 stressor–response relationships from literature and ran Generalised Linear Mixed Models for each dataset individually. With the resulting estimates (e.g. regression coefficients) we performed a Bayesian meta-analysis.
In short, these are the results:

Led by Wim Kaijser, we published a global analysis on how five different organism groups respond to seven stressor categories. New paper in Nature Ecology & Evolution. www.nature.com/articles/s41....

We need a culture and systematic infrastructures to encourage raw data publication (not only in soil ecology).

Bartosz Bartkowski @bartoszbartk.com · 19d

In the context of the 🇩🇪 biodiversity assessment (Faktencheck Artenvielfalt) my soil ecology colleagues analyzed ~1250 time series datasets on var soil organisms. Only 100 (sic!) of them were derived from the literature. All the rest were unpublished datasets uncovered from desk drawers and archives.

Next week in the EU-Parliament (11.11.2025, 13:30-15), we will discuss the future of sustainable farming in Europe and the alignment or non-alignment of the CAP with sustainability criteria, based on @agtransect.bsky.social and #CAP4GI.

Wishful thinking, right? It's true that many scientists are here and easily gain high numbers of followers. But interaction is minimal. Better nail your paper on a tree in a deep forest, it will attract more attention.

The Freshwater Blog has featured another MERLIN product describing how grants are used for restoration.
Timely topic, as the future of major EU restoration grants is uncertain: LIFE+ might be cancelled, the second GAP pillar is shaking... private investments in restoration will gain relevance.

This week in Munich 🇩🇪:
The DANUBElifelines team gathers at TUM to harmonize sampling methods across demo sites.

Because better data = better restoration decisions.
And it’s always great when the team meets face to face - ideas flow.
