The #pre-print for the Australian #fieldwork we did last February is now out! We show snow gum #dieback alters #volatile emissions, especially increasing #monoterpene #emissions from damaged trunks. You can read more here: doi.org/10.22541/ess...
The fieldwork sure was one to remember! 🌿🪲☁️🦘

The lunch time meeting before the DNRF annual visit was busy, with an introduction from Jonathan Donhauser on his project on developing a #model for #microbial #VOC emissions, followed by practise talks by @nasmillelarkemejia.bsky.social and Ida Friis, which were a success on the day of the visit!

This week we had the pleasure of hosting the @dg.dk annual visit to @voltcenter.bsky.social. As always, it was time to reflect on the success of the past year, and what a joy it was to relive all the highlights through @riikkarinnan.bsky.social's presentation!

A formal self-introduction for a less formal audience. After being with us for a while, we finally got to "formally" hear from visiting postdoc Junyu Dong about his previous work in China, and a bit of his project with #VOCs here at @voltcenter.bsky.social 😄

Last weekend, VOLT joined the #Fungi Festival🍄🍄🟫.
Visitors got to hear a talk on hidden #fungaldiversity in #caves, and explored a collaborative booth. Here they could peek at fungal cultures under a microscope🔬, watch a short film highlighting the research, and learn about cave fungi and #VOCs.
