Thanks Julie 😉

I'm very glad to have been able to present our first results at the EGF conference this year and meet so many nice people. Thank you all !

🌱 First harvest of our #drought experiment testing the resistance of new #forage mixtures against summer drought #DryMountProject @agroscope.bsky.social @emilieroinel.bsky.social

5. What happens next? Stay tuned! The 2025 field season is just around the corner, so see you soon! 🌱

4. We are also conducting a drought simulation experiment at one of our sites. We simulated a summer drought for the first time in 2024. Second round in 2025!

3. The second year begins with new measurements in the field: biomass, functional traits, botanical composition, soil samples, etc...

2. First harvests from our trials 🌱🌞

1. Start of our field experiment with the sowing of our experimental drought-resistant grassland mixtures in 2023 across Switzerland (TI, GR,UR,VS,BE) 🇨🇭

📢 The #DryMountProject journey began on X but will continue to thrive here from now on. Here is a quick summary of what has happened over the past two years 🌱

Keyword of the adventure : drought, grassland, mountain⛰️, agroecology, fun and sunburns!
