Finally the #GBI Christmas Party 2025 with 1) international buffet (this year with specialties from 10 nations) 2) Feuerzangenbowle (with only tiny-little table burning) & 3) UNO Flip (version battle-UNO 😅);
With that the GBI-team @unituebingen.bsky.social wishes Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year

#GBI group of @unituebingen.bsky.social visited #Esslingen medival christmas market (2nd time - seems like a tradition shapes).
Enjoyed mead, hemp bread döner or knight's skewer, but also traditional craftsmanship, artists and musicians. Despite crazily crowded, it can really be recommended 🎄

My personal highlights: "Wir können Alles außer Ozean" great description for our amazing GeoEnviro-Department @unituebingen.bsky.social - THE place-to-be for geo-ecology & environmental science if the marine system is not your focus. And: dinner à la "Night at the Museum"
Congrats to UT #Geoecology!

Used the opportunity of #DBG2025 for the first in-person meeting with @diegomiga.bsky.social @unituebingen.bsky.social. From an excellent presentation in the #GBI group up to evenings with (nearly) uruguayan barbacues: all centered around Diego inspiring us for the secrets of his managed grasslands!

On time with the end of our #DFG funded project on the impact of #biochar in #soils, we could present our major outcomes: @iraloginova.bsky.social gave an excellent talk on root-biochar interactions and Prashanth Prasanna closed #DBG2025 with the impact of #mucilage on biochar stability: congrats 👋

...and even more about #RootWayS project at the #DBG2025: Yijie Shi (Ada) & Henrik Füllgrabe presented on #microzymography and the subsoil labeling methods (or #Soils dating #CoverCrops ). Congrats to the two for wrapping up the outcomes of the first phase so nicely in their excellent presentations

Monday was our #GBI Poster-Party-Day at #DBG2025: 2 times #RootWayS (BMBF) project with Jiangyuzhuo Wang's #subsoil labeling and Yihan Pu's mesh tubes show #intercropping benefit. Yuxuan Zhang of #BNI-2030 (@bmleh.de) added #nitrification inhibition & Ningkang Sun #AMF driven P mobilization on top 👏
