#Alpine #SoilFauna #hike #glacier #Similaun (3606m). In our samplings, we found something surprising 🥳 more details will be soon published in a short notice ✌️

Our highest pitfall traps so far at 3300m close to glaciers.

It's alpine sampling time, and this week we did the first samplings of #SoilFauna #GLORIA #mountain #SoilScience #SoilBiology #AlpSoil_Lab
