Thank you for your helpful answer. The only thing obout what I still wonder is that some of the analyses work with R some time and some time not without any changes in the data or commands. Your text (from both emails) is cut at the end, so that your information about the convergence error problem

Dear All, I want to analyse treatment effects with time series data: I measured e.g. leaf number (five replicate plants) in relation to two soil pH - after 2,4,6,8 weeks. I used mixed effects models, but some analyses didn“t work. It seems for me as if this is a randomly occurring problem since so
