How much hydrology hides in our microclimate sensors?
I’ve spent over a decade now sticking small microclimate loggers into the ground, mostly to talk about temperature. Soil moisture has always been the awkward third wheel in that story: TOMST loggers measure it too, our CurieuzeNeuzen in de Tuin … Continue reading

INNATURE: Building biodiversity and belonging in urban spaces
By Olivia van der Weiden Over the past months, we’ve been working hard on the preparations for INNATURE, an EU-funded project on nature based solutions in urban areas. The mission of this project is straightforward: co-create nature-based solutions to promote … Continue reading

Soil microbes care little about your climate gradients
We had a hunch: the biogeography of soil microbial communities was going to be messy. Even less than plants or animals, microbes aren’t paying attention to the broad-brush macroclimatic gradients that ecologists often use to explain species distributions. They live … Continue reading
SoilTemp is now MEB!
Over the past six years, I’ve poured my heart into SoilTemp. What started as a vision for a global soil temperature database quickly grew into something much more: a living, breathing community of researchers passionate about microclimate ecology. From the … Continue reading

Reimagining species on the move
I still remember those first groundshattering papers showing the impact of recent climate change on biodiversity. For decades, climate change had been looming in models and predictions — but suddenly, the evidence was real, visible in the field. Species weren’t … Continue reading

The graph that surprises nobody
Our recent paper in Nature summarizing the work of the Dark Diversity Network contains a simple – and for that reason rather horrifying – graph. It’s not much more than a linear regression, a line through some points: It summarizes … Continue reading
