Two weeks ago, we were in Menton - today, our network of researchers is back at their spreadsheets, reports, labs, data collection and field sites 💦 but that's also what deepens our understanding of climate change risks and challenges. We can't wait for the next conference in 2028 🌍

🌍 A strong start to the 2026 AnaEE Science Conference! Our DG, M. Boër, opened with a warm welcome, a look at the programme, the latest developments at AnaEE, and a preview of what's to come. Then M. Bahn took the stage for the first keynote of Session 1, "Ecosystem Resilience in a Changing World"

We're getting close to Kick-Off of our biennial Science Conference in Menton: don't miss this talk! How do you study the long-term effects of climate change on crops and agro-ecosystems, when you only have 8 controlled-environment rooms of about 2 m² each?

We're getting close to Kick-Off of our biennial Science Conference in Menton: don't miss this talk! How do you study the long-term effects of climate change on crops and agro-ecosystems, when you only have 8 controlled-environment rooms of about 2 m² each?

That's the challenge Dr. Leemans (University of Liège) will tackle at the AnaEE Science conference in Menton, with a presentation on the design of ECO³, the next long-term experiment at the TERRA-Ecotron.

The Ecotron is an experimental facility that allows "full control" of environmental conditions. ECO³ will use it to follow crops and soils over eight years, tracking plant development along with soil biology, chemistry and hydrology.

📢 We're hiring a Researcher to work on the SUSTAIN-ARCTIC project. Join a pan-European effort spanning 11 institutions and 6 countries to reinvent how Arctic science is done — cutting the carbon footprint of polar research while keeping the climate data flowing that the world depends on.

🥵 Record heatwaves are reshaping Europe's landscapes. Understanding how forest ecosystems respond to pressure has never been more urgent 🌲 The ANAEE-ERIC Science Conference 2026 brings together leading researchers tackling the most critical questions in climate & ecosystem science. www.anaee.eu

Today is the kick-off of #FORECOMON 2026 - Integrating Ground- and Remote Sensing-based Forest Monitoring for Resilient forests: Opportunities and Challenges, where AnaEE-ERIC's Scientific Officer will present our latest research and potential and research facilities. forecomon2026.thuenen.de

Peatlands cover just 3% of Earth's land surface, yet store twice as much carbon as all the world's forests combined. Through us scientists can get free access to some of the best research facilities in Europe are open - join one of the @iriscc.bsky.social webinar to learn more + Q&A. Link below

160 seats. Big enough to spark something. Small enough to actually meet everyone in the room. That's the AnaEE Science Conference Sept this year. Maybe be the most valuable 3 days you spend this year if experimental ecosystem and climate science is your world. This is where our community is built 🌍

🌿 Can plants evolve fast enough to keep up with climate change? A landmark study published this week in *Science* — supported by AnaEE-France — brings us closer to an answer. Here's what scientists found after tracking the evolution of 70,000 plants across 30 sites on 3 continents over 3 years

🎉 Great news for scientists and our members! AnaEE-ERIC is partnering in 4 new Horizon Europe projects — meaning more opportunities, better tools, and stronger support for your research. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay updated on project updates and research opportunities: anaee.eu

📅 The AnaEE Events Calendar is LIVE! We curate the most relevant conferences, seminars, and workshops for ecologists and climate change scientists across Europe — all in one place. 👉 Check out our Events Calendar and stay on top of what matters for your research: lnkd.in/eaKK8w9Q

Fieldwork is muddy, grant writing painful, and your coffee went cold three hours ago. But here's some good news to brighten your day: If you're an early-career researcher in experimental or functional ecology, the AnaEE Environmental Rising Star Award was made for you.

This isn't incremental—it's a new standard for continuous measurement in the unsaturated zone. Critical for: hydrogeologists, soil scientists, environmental consultants, ecosystem researchers & anyone protecting groundwater resources.

The challenge: Traditional groundwater assessments focus on aquifers, but miss what's happening in the unsaturated zone above—where contaminants accumulate before reaching our water supply.

The innovation: DMR's novel soil-water sampler does automated pore water collection WHILE logging volumetric water content & soil matric potential in real-time. Result? High-resolution data on how pollutants actually move through soil.

Our research on Mediterranean forest resilience in a changing climate has been accepted for presentation at the Forecomon conference in Dubrovnik 🌳 we'll present how our pan-European network of experimental sites is studying these vital ecosystems' responses to climate change. Link Below for more.
