Our new paper is out today @newphyt.bsky.social We investigated the bias involved in woody stem CO2 efflux measurements in tropical forests - including diel and vertical variations, and used TLS to upscale vertical variations and estimate stem surface area nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Woody respiration is an important but unconstrained process in the forest carbon cycle. @mariabmills.bsky.social made real progress in Malaysian Borneo using lasers and climbing giants, so that you don't have to! She came away with great insights. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Trying to come up with the words to say. I'm terrified for our students. We just received an email that an international grad student at UMN has been detained. Minnesota has laws stating police are not required to provide info to ICE. Admin claims no info was given. How can we protect our people?

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

One of the more remarkable and surprising studies I’ve read in quite a while!
