Nina Löbs, PhD student at the MPI for Chemistry and ATTO member, recently defended her thesis. She worked on "Cryptogams under the influence of tropical microclimate and their contribution to biosphere-atmosphere exchange".
Congratulations and all the best in the future🎉🤗!! https://t.co/EPqs4EtWfY

The #Amazon not only has high levels biodiversity, but also high diversity of soils. New special issue in @plantandsoil on Amazonian plant-soil interactions: https://t.co/OVF2n9sCYL https://t.co/ihXZE8V1Gl

Tropical forests worldwide and their carbon storage capacities are likely to remain intact in moderate climate warming scenarios—so long as they’re not further impacted by other human disturbances such as clearance, logging or fires, new research suggests. https://t.co/KDLHgynqqT https://t.co/bVEWHDRqE8

More than 200 researchers from @ForestPlots measured over half a million (😲) trees in 813 forests worldwide. They wanted to find out if tropical forests can store carbon despite warming. They can. But only if we protect them and limit warming! https://t.co/H0soznRt1y https://t.co/tskKMsvZVB

Is anyone out there looking to do a #PhD looking on #fire and human history in #Amazonia ?? do you also have #pollen experience? I'm collaborating with @Lakemud1 on a project, and he needs a PhD student! Contact him if you're interested (see attached) !! https://t.co/KpLuRizBrf

Even scientists sometimes have their head in the clouds - at ATTO, 325 meters above the ground on a a cloudy day, quite literally! ☁️

Studying interactions between forest & atmosphere and their impact on the climate from an observatory with a 325m tall tower in the Amazon rainforest

Amazon Tall Tower Observatory
It's #HIGHtech time💡! Today Sebastian from @max It's #HIGHtech time💡! Today Sebastian from @maxplanckinstituteforchemistry will tell you how he detects fungal spores in the Amazonian jungle🌳🌴🌳. "As you can see, fungi 🍄 are emitting spores - sometimes so many that you can see them with the naked eye! Fungal spores account for a large fraction of big particles in the air. We developed a measurement setup to quantify and analyze these emissions. The most important part of this setup is a particle detector called “Optical particle sizer”. It can detect tiny particles between 0.3 and 10 µm, the size of fungal spores. In our newly developed chamber system it is possible to separate particle emissions of the fungus from aerosols of environmental air. SWIPE👉 to see the analyzer in action! We measure deep in the Amazonian forest near ATTO. Every day, we have to find the fungi and then carry all the equipment there, including a long power line for electricity 🔌. One challenging part of this work is to permanently keep track of all the dangerous animals while walking through the understory. In more than two years of work we already watched big spiders🕷, deadly snakes🐍, and even had a jaguar 🐆 crossing our path. Despite all these hazards of our work, the pure fascination of this unique environment and the curiosity and passion for nature still catches me every day. SWIPE👉 to see me in my happy place, surrounded by fungi growing on a dead tree trunk in the middle of the Amazon. I can’t wait to go back to the ATTO site once it is safe again."

Even scientists can have their heads in the clouds Even scientists can have their heads in the clouds☁️. When you're on the ATTO tall tower sometimes quite literally.⁣ It's very common for some clouds to hang low over the rainforest, much lower than the 325 meters tower height. We don't have the beautiful views of the forest beneath on those days. But being in the middle of a cloud, without an airplane around you, is quite special, too.⁣ And did you notice the high clouds way up in the atmosphere? You wouldn't see those from down below. Disclaimer: We can only be on the tower when it's dry⛔. Any chance of rain🌧, or worse yet, a thunderstorm🌩, and everyone needs to get down quickly. Rain makes the steps slippery, and nobody wants to be only a spindly steel rod when there is a chance of lightning⚡.⁣ ⁣ Timelapse by Andrew Crozier / MPI-C @maxplanckinstituteforchemistry ⁣ #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #atmosphericscience #clouds #headintheclouds #abovetheclouds #cloudformation #cloud #cloudysky #cloudyday #talltower
Not only ATTO is closed, but also as many institut Not only ATTO is closed, but also as many institutes, including the @inpa_mctic. But work cannot and will not stop for our scientists. Daniel used his time to work on the instruments and loggers from the INVENTA towers. He's developing a system to power the tree sensors, which they will use to monitor how trees sway in the wind. These sensors will tell them more about tree resilience when big storm events pass through. #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #sciencefromhome #workfromhome #stayathome #windsensor
As people shelter in place everywhere, animals tak As people shelter in place everywhere, animals take over the cities. That's the stories you hear these days. I don't know if they are all true, but our local Jaguar 🐆 certainly seems very relaxed in the middle of the road. It's his (or her?) forest after all! This time of year there is usually a flurry of activity at ATTO to collect wet season data. That's not happening this year of course. Only a smalk core team keep ATTO running, and it is likely much quieter around the camp. Perhaps that's the reason they see this beautiful big feline 🐱 more often than usual. 📽 by @_almatos_ #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #jaguar #bigcats #bigcatsofinstagram #wildlife #wildlifesightings #onça
