Up in the canopies! 🌲 Nice to be in #Pfynwald helping Giovanni Bortolami assess Scots pine trees' responses to vpd and drought in the amazing #VPDrought field site! Looking forward to seeing the results! More info about the project here: www.wsl.ch/it/progetti/... @wslresearch.bsky.social

Sampling success at the @arnoldarboretum.bsky.social with @alyssakullberg.bsky.social and Thibaut. What an amazing place to work! If you have temperature thresholds data and want to join forces, let us know! You'll make us and @charlottegrossiord.bsky.social happy.

Are you at #gfoe2025 and curious about how sensitive Central European trees are to high temperatures? Come see my talk on Wednesday, September 3rd in Room 2.007 at 14:25!

New PhD position in Plant Ecophysiology🌳 Study how atmospheric & soil drought shape tree carbon & water relations at the VPDrought experiment in Switzerland. Start Jan 2026. Apply here: m.refline.ch/273855/1759/... @wslresearch.bsky.social

🌳🔥Out now: Our review on compound droughts and forest responses - from leaf to ecosystem. Featuring a stunning 20-yr map of canopy temperatures variation across European forests. @chriswernerlab.bsky.social @simonhaber.bsky.social @vallicrosah.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌳Étonnante découverte: les platanes évaporent beaucoup d'eau même par forte chaleur, à plus de 39 °C. Ils rafraîchissent plus qu'on ne le pensait, ce qui remet en question les prévisions de répartition de la chaleur en ville. www.wsl.ch/fr/news/les-... #climaturbain #adaptation au climat #arbres

🎉 Congratulations to my PhD student Julie Botzas-Coluni who won the prize for the best poster at the Swiss Animal Nutrition Conference 2025 @ethz.ch #AgroForageTreeProject @snsf.ch @agroscope.bsky.social

⏰Call for Abstracts - FoWiTa 2025⏰ 29.09-02.10 @uni-freiburg.de We look forward to your contributions to our session👇 🌳 Biodiversity friendly forest management - from concepts to practices.🌳 ℹ️ Session info: shorturl.at/OO2i9 ✍Call for abstracts: shorturl.at/qSdj5 Deadline is 20 May.

Can beech and oak saplings adjust to prolonged periods of warmer temperatures🌡and soil drought? 🏜 Come find it out at my presentation at @egu.eu! Looking forward to this experience as a first attendee!

If you never heard about broad-leaved conifers, you absolutely need to read this amazing viewpoint! 🌲🌳 They describe how trees are just too awesome to be put in only two categories and how the misuse of terms can have important implications for our research! 😉

Our manuscript esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... got awarded #TopViewedArticle! Have you had the chance to learn about nutrients in tropical forests yet? Here we found evidence of some interesting nitrogen-phosphorus links!

#Sciencejob Alert! Scientific career, experience in leading #research projects & international network? Strong expertise in #forest #ecology and/or #soil #processes and/or #tree functions? 🌳 We are looking for a new head of the forest and soil ecology research unit: apply.refline.ch/273855/1726/...

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🌿How you measure heat tolerance matters! We tested 3 species under different methods & durations to find their thermal limits. @a-gthy.bsky.social @kateplantphys.bsky.social @philippschuler.bsky.social

My first paper is out! We investigated how #photosynthetic and #respiratory #thermal #acclimation 🌡️ and #canopy size 🌳 shape tree net #carbon uptake under prolonged warming and drought. Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author... @charlottegrossiord.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social

🌿🔥How heat and VPD shape tree survival? We tested how acclimation to high temperature & VPD impacts drought mortality. While heat speeds up death via leaf area expansion, VPD acclimation slows it down by enhancing stomatal control - balancing mortality timing. doi.org/10.1111/PCE....

What a view from my "new office"!☀️ My 3 months visit to the Chair of Silviculture in #Freiburg (DE) has just started. Profiting from their immense knowledge, I will try to better understand the characteristics and distribution of #mixed beech-oak #forests in Europe. 🌳 Looking forward to the results!

🌿 Join us for a workshop at our unique VPDrought field site in Switzerland on Aug 21-22, 2025! The event will feature a field site tour & presentations from experts studying VPD impacts on forests worldwide. Don’t miss the chance to connect & collaborate! www.wsl.ch/en/events-an...
