Ecosystem ecologist researches nitrogen cycling in pristine ecosystems. Focus on moss-cyanobacteria associations and nitrogen fixation.
If you don’t have a permit…you have to stop in front of the sign… @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social
Mandatory stop at the #ArcticCircle, and picked up some friends on the way
Throughout fog into light again… @mingyueyuan.bsky.social @claraniemann.bsky.social @tammitsoe.bsky.social
Time to say goodbye @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social! We had a great time and got lots of samples! Thanks for the support and help!
#Moss has been sampled extremely efficiently but which species we cannot tell behind the bug nets…thanks mosquitoes for making our job not too easy @mingyueyuan.bsky.social @tammitsoe.bsky.social @claraniemann.bsky.social #WhoNeedsSunshineWhenYouCanHaveGrey #RecordMosquitoBitesOnOneHand:18
After amazing breakfasts @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social, unusual modes of transportation can be tackled to get to our field plots…after all, biking in the tundra cannot be that different from biking in our usual base #Copenhagen
Only since 4 days @toolikfieldstation.bsky.social, but loads of wild #Mosses spotted already! We are enjoying our time here with sampling and (fieldsite) sightseeing…
#DreamTeam in beautiful Alaska, looking for #Moss and other inconspicuous creatures, but also happy to find conspicuous ones like cloudberries…
Day 2: driving further north through scenic landscapes to finally arrive at Toolik lake field station!
Out and about again….part of the #cyanobacteria #Moss team on the road to…Alaska! We heard they have moss! Stay tuned!!
#Biogeomon Krycklan catchment excursion- wonderfully planned and perfectly executed! We had it all, rain, delicious coffee for fika, boardwalks to keep our feet dry and beautiful soil profiles! Thank you!
Going to #BIOGEOMON in Umeå these days? Make sure to check out our session on #NitrogenBiogeochemistry, links to other #elements and #Biodiversity! All of Tuesday AND Thursday morning…hear about the latest on #NitrogenCycling with new and known enthusiasts!
…and no risks were daunting or tormenting enough to collect the one fern we found….after all, they are almost the most adaptable plants on earth…@fernway.bsky.social @stuartmcdaniel.bsky.social
Having some proper #Bryologists over calls for a trip to admire the local #Bryophytes and continued discussions on the #CopenhagenInterpretationOfSymbioses - with great enthusiasm and no fear of getting muddy…
The successful launch of the #Cyanobacteria- #Bryophyte (and occasionally other plants) Interactions Network in Copenhagen…or the 2. Copenhagen interpretation
New people, new projects, new results…but first: #sorting, #labelling, #FindingStuff,…welcome to Josefine, Thomas and many more! #Moss #Cyanobacteria discoveries abound!
Looking for a postdoc in a beautiful city, with nice colleagues, a supportive environment and fun research on #EvolutionofSymbioses #Mosses #Cyanobacteria? This may be for you: employment.ku.dk/all-vacancie... Deadline is Monday 1st December!
#Moss and #Biocrusts sampled! Happy moss happy team! Next step: lichens?!
On the hunt for #biocrusts driving across beautiful Sardinia! Happy to report the #MossCyanoTeam was successful!
…#NitrogenFixation in the field…Yunyao is efficient..#Moss #Cyanobacteria #SYMBIONIX
Creating acetylene in the field under controlled conditions…always exciting! #NitrogenFixation
The team is on Sardinia! Looking for #Mosses, #cyanobacteria and more..! #SYMBIONIX @erc.europa.eu
We are organising a session on #Nitrogen biogeochemistry - links to other elements and biodiversity at #BIOGEOMON 2026 in Umeå! Join us! @benhoulton.bsky.social
Enjoying #CostAction meeting of #e-niche, a network of chemical ecologists in Europe, discussing interactions between organisms, challenges and the future…all in beautiful Evora!
Arriving in the north of Sweden…nostalgic being back in the boreal forest where my PhD journey began…happy to see forests, lots of water and…#moss?!
