We had a great time at #Jungfraujoch during our yearly team outing! Got a fascinating tour of the meteorological & research station (est. 1931), and really enjoyed the trip with the iconic railway (construction finished already in 1912!). We'll have to come back for a better view, though 😉🏔️❄️🧪🚞

Thank you to everyone who presented in our #microclimate change session today @imc2025.bsky.social! @jlembrechts.bsky.social, @niittynen.bsky.social & I were very happy with the contributions & discussions. Great to see microclimate getting more attention in high-elevation ecosystems 🏔🌡❄️💧

#GloNoMo will provide the first global quantification of the status, trends, drivers & impacts of non-native plant species in mountains, by combining large existing datasets with experiments and new monitoring. The outcomes will be essential for the conservation of the world's #biodiversity.

Yet, we do not know to what degree non-native species are already present in undisturbed habitats, which species & drivers pose the largest threats, and how natural mountain ecosystems are already impacted by non-native plant species that have become invasive.

#Mountain ecosystems to date remain relatively untouched and are home to a large diversity of specialised plant species. However, this unique biodiversity could be threatened by the arrival of #non-native species, which are already becoming increasingly common in disturbed sites such as along roads.

We are very excited to announce that our group leader Sabine Rumpf has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for her #GloNoMo project to investigate the global status, trends, drivers and impacts of non-native plant species in mountain ecosystems 🎉

#ClimateChange is altering #Arctic vegetation - maybe not (yet) in terms of species diversity, but large changes in community composition are already visible.
Crucial study & a massive effort by our friends from #ITEX & #TeamShrub - congrats!
