New season, new experiment. This week we are at IDENT Freiburg to collect leaf and bark samples. 🌲🌳 The team includes @alex-sternberg.bsky.social and Sophia, who will use these samples for their doctoral theses (microbiome and secondary metabolites). @michakoehlerbotany.bsky.social

🚨 Doctoral Student Paper Alert 🚨
🌿🍄 What shapes fungal endophyte diversity inside tree leaves? We found that leaf traits, both their average values and variation within a single tree, strongly influence foliar fungal endophyte communities. doi.org/10.1002/ece3...

Foliar Endophytic Fungal Communities Are Driven by Leaf Traits—Evidence From a Temperate Tree Diversity Experiment
Our study demonstrates that functional leaf traits play a crucial role in shaping fungal endophyte richness and community composition, even beyond the effects of tree species identity. Traits associa...

Hi, we are the Geobotany group at the MLU Halle. We are interested in everything that has to do with plants 🪴, especially plant ecology, biogeography, invasion biology, BEF relationships and plant-soil interactions. Stay tuned and find out about our latest publications, excursions and other updates.
