๐ŸŒ Beneath our feet lies a living world that sus ๐ŸŒ Beneath our feet lies a living world that sustains us all. Through the SOB4ES project, weโ€™re uncovering the hidden biodiversity of soils across Europe โ€” and showing why protecting it matters for everyone. ๐ŸŽฅ Watch the full SOB4ES video to discover how science is making the underground world visible to society. We at the Soil Ecology and Bioeconomy Lab are proud partners of the EU-funded SOB4ES Project, working together to advance soil health and sustainability. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Learn more: www.sob4es.eu ๐Ÿ“บ Full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw6K5k6vgp0 #SOB4ES #HorizonEurope #SoilHealth #Biodiversity #Sustainability #SoilScience #EUResearch #Bioeconomy #ResearchMatters
๐ŸŽ‰ New publication alert! We are proud to share ๐ŸŽ‰ New publication alert! We are proud to share that two of our collaborators โ€“ Maria Ravani, our PhD candidate, and Stephanie Tselempi, who completed her Masterโ€™s with Prof. G. Ntinas โ€“ have co-authored a paper recently published in the International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment. ๐Ÿ”— Read the article here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11367-025-02546-4 This achievement highlights our ongoing collaboration with Prof. G. Ntinasโ€™ lab with our @soilecology_lab is strengthening our joint efforts in research and knowledge exchange. ๐Ÿ‘ Congratulations to all the authors! @rav_mar_
๐ŸŒฑ From Mines to Microbes: Tracking Soil Recover ๐ŸŒฑ From Mines to Microbes: Tracking Soil Recovery in Action ๐Ÿงฌ Weโ€™re proud to share the dissertation work of Evdokia, an ATH Biology graduate and dedicated member of our Soil Ecology Lab! ๐ŸŽ“โœจ ๐Ÿ“– Dissertation title: โ€œSoil microbial community shifts during secondary succession with Robinia pseudoacacia for the restoration of lignite mines in Ptolemaida: a chronosequence studyโ€ Her research explored how bacterial communities evolve over 25 years of Robinia pseudoacacia restoration in post-lignite mining sites. ๐Ÿ”ฌ Key findings: โœจ Microbial diversity dips early, rebounds with organic matter buildup, then specializes over time. ๐ŸŒ Bacterial networks strengthen in the first years but later trade stability for specialization. โš–๏ธ While Robinia boosts soil fertility, its invasive nature requires careful ecological management. This work highlights the hidden power of microbes in driving ecosystem recovery after severe disturbance. ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿ‘ Congratulations Evdokia for this important contribution to restoration ecology! @evdokiakazakou #SoilEcology #RestorationEcology #MicrobialCommunities #RobiniaPseudoacacia #ATHBiology #SoilEcologyLab
