It is not a representative sample, but I have been part of many appointment committees for professorial positions in Germany and neighbouring countries in the last years (more than 20, if I count correctly). The 2 procedures this year were the first with several strong applicants from the US.

New study on the spatial dimension of multiple stressors. Gemma Burgazzi (iDiv) did a great job in running this mesocosm experiment. Effects of single stressors cascaded along the network, with stronger downstream effects. Thanks to all contributors! @leeselab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ecog...

Forderung von Beratern des Ministeriums: Agrarminister soll mehr gegen Risiken durch Pestizide tun
Ein Beirat des Agrarministeriums kritisiert, dass Alois Rainer ein Programm zur Reduktion von Ackergiften beendet. Das Gegenteil sei nötig.

We need a culture and systematic infrastructures to encourage raw data publication (not only in soil ecology).
In the context of the 🇩🇪 biodiversity assessment (Faktencheck Artenvielfalt) my soil ecology colleagues analyzed ~1250 time series datasets on var soil organisms. Only 100 (sic!) of them were derived from the literature. All the rest were unpublished datasets uncovered from desk drawers and archives.

The Freshwater Blog has featured another MERLIN product describing how grants are used for restoration.
Timely topic, as the future of major EU restoration grants is uncertain: LIFE+ might be cancelled, the second GAP pillar is shaking... private investments in restoration will gain relevance.

The DANUBElifelines team gathers at TUM to harmonize sampling methods across demo sites.
Because better data = better restoration decisions.
And it’s always great when the team meets face to face - ideas flow.
