Another great talk by Dennis Baldocchi on his work at the wetlanda in the Sacramento delta in California. Lots of interest from the German wetland community.

Dennis Baldocchi gave a stimulating talk at the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities on the Demise of K-theory with nice references to the pioniering work by Ludwig Prandtl and Theodor von Karman on boundary layer theory done here on Göttingen 100 years ago.

Another two days of great talks and discussions at the Baldocchi Symposium in Göttingen. Lots of fun at the visits of our flux towers Reinshof and Hainich.
Thanks everyone for coming and making it a wonderful event.

First day of the Baldocchi Symposium in Göttingen. More than 40 scientists are discussing fluxes anywhere and anytime. Great atmosphere!

Congratulation to José Ángel for defending his PhD!! Great work on CO2, H2O and energy fluxes of agroforestry systems. Ivan Mammarella (Uni Helsinki) and Annette Menzel (TU Munich) joined as external examiners. Afterwards we had the traditional walk to the Gänse Liesel fountain in the city center.

Happy to announce we’ve set up a new eddy covariance flux tower at a forest restoration site in the Harz Mountains. The area was clear-cut after a bark beetle outbreak and reforested with broadleaves. A unique opportunity to investigate ecosystem fluxes and forest resilience across recovery stages.

Peatlands are under pressure due to ongoing degradation, pushing the global biome from net sink to source. At #DBG2025 in Tübingen, we demonstrated how vegetation shifts affect carbon fluxes of a mountain peatland and outlined methods to downscale ecosystem methane fluxes to the plant-species scale.

Paper alert! Justus van Ramshorst et al. showed that the net ecosystem-scale carbon uptake of alley-cropping #agroforestry in Germany was higher compared to adjacent monocropping using lower-cost eddy covariance. More details at: doi.org/10.1007/s104...

At Night of Science Göttingen, FoResLab showed how we measure CO₂ uptake in forests, offered VR field research insights, and let visitors design their own forest with our optimization tool. Thanks to all who joined and discussed the future of our forests!

🌲🌳💧 Researchers have investigated the water uptake depth of spruce, copper beech and Douglas fir. Beech and Douglas fir had access to water from deeper soil layers, unlike spruce. Whether it is a pure or mixed stand also makes a difference.

Paper alert! Drollinger et al. show that shorter, more intense rain events in European beech forests shrink throughfall and amplify moisture patchiness, gradually loosening hydrological links and altering Critical Zone function. Link: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... #Hydrology #Climate
