So the bad news is that impacts of_extreme_droughts worsened dramatically over time, but the good news is that these systems were not progressively impaired by_moderate_droughts. And, for us, it's good news that we have published these findings! Stay tuned; many more DN manuscripts are in progress.

...while the effects of droughts that were extreme (i.e., 1 in 100 year events) compounded over time, perennial grasslands and shrublands were more resilient to less extreme droughts. That is, drought-related reductions in plant growth did not magnify over more years of moderate drought. (2/3)

The latest DroughtNet paper is out in Science today! Using coordinated experiments across six continents and 74 sites, the International Drought Experiment found differences between the effects of extreme droughts and more typical droughts... (1/3) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We are really excited to announce… that our next big DroughtNet paper will be published… next week. And that’s about all we can say for now! 😁 🧪🌐🌎🌍🌏 🚫💧☘️🌾🗓️

Congratulations to, and very proud of, Matteo Verdone who successfully (with laude!) #defended his #PhD today on #ecohydrological dynamics in #forested #catchments at @UNI_FIRENZE. Thanks a lot to the other supervisors @iljavan meerveld and @ecohydrologylab.bsky.social for their fundamental support!

Thanks @danielepenna.bsky.social fo showing me around! It was a wonderful trip to visit Re della Pietra finally! and take part in Matteo’s PhD Defence.

@zalf.bsky.social (#ZALF ECO) How can sensor platforms like #Agroflux, when combined with #livinglabs accelerate sustainable agriculture? Our opinion piece in @Nature Comms discusses this synergy. Grateful to @marenecohydro.bsky.social, Cheng Chen, Frank Ewert & more! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share that our opinion note on experimental platforms like #Agroflux and their potential for aiding sustainable agricultural transformation is now published in nature comms! Thanks to all co-authors and especially @monkshilllab.bsky.social and @chengchen! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check this out: my colleague Mathias initiated this very successful handbook for diy low cost ecophysiological sensor development recently. It contains many applications and developments from our group regarding environmental, flux and isotope observations… #openscience

#showyourstripes Germany. I have seen less than ten years below long term average in my lifetime. Very crazy. My daughter none at all.

Finally, our water vapor isotope bag paper is out. Congrats to Adrian for his patience! His next chapter will be water isotopes of ET and machine learning based modeling… amt.copernicus.org/articles/18/...

Look at this handbook coordinated by my colleague Mathias!
