#GoBelowground is going international again! 🇧🇷 This time we go to Brazil. Functional morphology course Go Belowground! will bring students together to explore storage organs, clonal plants, and the hidden half of plant life. #ExFuMo #clonality #belowground #functional #ecology

Ready for winter! ❄️☃️🪻As winter in the northern hemisphere approaches, plants are preparing to be protected from cold ❄️ Read more on our blog ▶️1url.cz/PJ0Vy #GoBelowground #ExFuMo #rhizome #bud #clonality #overwintering #strategy @Akademie_ved_CR
Liatris spicata (dense blazing star) is another common prairie species, but Liatris species typically grow from small round structures of various origins (in this species, it looks like a stem tuber but it’s actually just a very round and cute rhizome). These plants can use soil and snow to keep themselves warm and safe through the winter, like warm winter clothing.

Studying the hidden half is messy—partial samples, broken roots, shifting soils. That’s exactly what students need to see. “In belowground science, perfection is impossible. Accuracy is not.” 🔍🌱 More ▶️1url.cz/DJIdJ #GoBelowground #ExFuMo #RootID #ScienceTeaching
