🥁New paper from Northeastern Mtn🏔️ Network❗️The patterns of herbivory & resource utilization vary along elevational gradients & affect tree seedling 🌱 survival, thus shaping species range shifts. @sunyesf.bsky.social @sunyofficial.bsky.social @appmtnclub.bsky.social doi.org/10.1007/s100...

In case you feel lazy & do not want to read the whole paper, I added a bit more context on the key findings of our recent paper investigating 🌸 time shifts across 11 ⛰️ ranges in 🇨🇳🌏🌐

Happy to have contributed to this nice study just published in #GCB on plants' phenological shifts across China's subtropical mountains: we used data from herbarium specimens to generate time series of flowering time at the species level & infer phenological shifts 🌺🌸💮🏵🌎🌐🍁🍂 shorturl.at/26dwH

New paper by Garret Meigs and friends: "Big trees burning: Divergent wildfire effects on large trees in open- vs closed-canopy forests" From my read, one of the key take home messages is that dense forests, even if large trees are present, are still burning with a lot of high-severity effects🧪🌎🔥

Our new #TreeDivNet paper led by Hernán Serrano-León is out in @globalchangebio.bsky.social! Using data from 9 forest diversity experiments across Europe, we showed that tree diversity effects on tree growth responses strengthened during consecutive drought years dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

One in six species on Earth experienced extraordinarily high temperatures across more than 25% of their range in 2024--the hottest year on record. For most, this was the second year of extreme heat, likely compounding risks. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Super awesome new paper in #MEE describing #causal #detection of shifts in #biodiversity! So many great insights here—a must read for those interested in #causalinference And love Fig 3! Congrats team! @lsantinieco.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Climate change increasingly alters the interactions between forest disturbances. Here we present a framework for quantifying dist. interactions and compile evidence for their impacts.

Yes, many tropical trees have annual rings! Great to contribute to this global synthesis led by @pieterzuidema.bsky.social, indicating stronger droughts w climate change may shift observed more resilient responses toward more widespread decreases in productivity www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪🌾🌐

Wading through #highseverityfire shrub patches all day has its perks when it's in #Yosemite!!! @olross.bsky.social is pushing boundaries in the field and in her research designs! #womeninwilderness #thisladyisbadass 🍁🌱🧪🌍

Fieldwork this past weekend with the AMAZING @olross.bsky.social and Dervla Meegan-Kumar in the Cleveland National Forest. NSF-funded, I’m using tree-ring width to reconstruct atmospheric river variability in Southern California, which will help us better prepare for future storms in the region.

I had a wonderful time learning all about @julieedtree.bsky.social amazing project this past weekend!

Teaching a field-based class is a great way to discuss current challenges of forest management with students! Also a wonderful opportunity to connect with and learn from practitioners!

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings
