I ❤️meetings where the community comes together in an open and welcoming manner. The atmosphere was great and scientific curiosity was at its peak. Thank you @michaelraissig.bsky.social @anneroulin.bsky.social Joop and the entire organisation team. #Brachypodium #Brachy2025 #IBRC2025 🧪 #photography 🇨🇭

I love jumping into topics that are rather foreign to me. Very nice lecture by Adrijan Košir " #CalciumCarbonate precipitates in the #rhizosphere: their
morphology, textural traits and #ecological functions.
They impact water retention& ecosystem.
Look at some of these images👀
