Researchers compared “simulations of the Community Land Model (CLM) to a statistical model built on dendrometer observations, showing that CLM underestimates decreases to growth under elevated VPD by a factor of 2–3” agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Even as trees photosynthesize late into the year, their growth stops by mid-summer, which impacts their carbon uptake, finds a new study of oak trees led by @lamont.columbia.edu ecoclimatologist @mukund24rao.bsky.social. ➡️ Learn more: https://bit.ly/4fRTE3v

Graminoids had the best heat tolerance, but plant growth form did not predict response to active warming in a #heatwave experiment led by @scienceanu.bsky.social PhD student Tom Hanley using @tern-aus.bsky.social AMRF infrastructure. doi.org/10.1111/jvs.70109 🧪 #ecology #ecophysiology #wildOz

A new paper by @anaigmendez.bsky.social vin Geophysical Research Letters shows that the oxygen isotope ratio of the annual rings of tropical conifers in Central America records rainfall amount and tracks large-scale tropical atmosphere ocean dynamics! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

📢 A new publication from our team is now out in the @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social BULLETIN! 👉 doi.org/10.1002/bes2... It shows how community, collaboration, & multilingual science are not extras—they are essential for equity in ecology. 🌎 📢Please share to amplify Latin American voices!

The first International #Dendrometer Network meeting brought together 50+ researchers from around the world! 🎉 🌍 Stay connected — join our mailing list for updates & opportunities: 👉 forms.gle/FAi5iyoucaAY... #TreeGrowth

We found that when temps hit 30°C+, C3 plants start struggling - their carbon metabolism gets disrupted, they burn through sugar stores faster, and even their isotope signatures change. Meanwhile C4 plants? They're basically chilling like "this is fine" 😎 www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🎤Hi #dendrometer users! You are invited to join our new Dendrometer Network (catchy name still tbd 😜). Online meeting 10:30-12 CET Friday 12 Dec. Please share and let me know if you want to join and I will send the meeting link 🌴🎄🌳🌲

"Overlooked and extensive ghost forest formation across the US Atlantic coast" -- wow what a comprehensive analysis by Yeung, @xiyang.bsky.social et al. 🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

www.nature.com/articles/s43... Fun collaboration with @jingfengxiao.bsky.social Papale, Ichii @fluxnet.bsky.social and others. Hope you all enjoy

Encantado de participar en este seminario sobre bosques y el cambio global el próximo martes 18 de noviembre. Se puede inscribir aqui forms.gle/UDTPBN9rQLcL.... Organizado por @esalatamcarib.bsky.social (gracias!). @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social @lamont.columbia.edu

Extreme weather events are linked to climate change, and while the "overall picture" has been wetter in recent years, "the rainfall comes more in extreme events, and then you can go for very long periods without rain," says @lamont.columbia.edu expert @mukund24rao.bsky.social. Via @nytimes.com.

Dendrometer workshop in Ås, Norway. 🇳🇴🌳

The second session is all about assessing and detecting stress effects. We are about halfway through with a great talk by @yuwenzhang6666.bsky.social #DendroNet

Please reach out if you are looking for a postdoc fellowship and are interested in ecosystem-climate interactions!

Some thoughts from me and others on how the ongoing drought in the Northeastern US may impact autumn foliage this year.

New Tansley review paper from Zoe Pierrat & friends in @newphyt.bsky.social linking proximal remote sensing with ecosystem fluxes! Synergies and best practices for hyperspectral reflectance, SIF, thermal, microwave and lidar 🌈🌲🗼🛰️🧪 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Future #climate projections of tree cover suggest the boreal forest is headed for an open state (⬇️🌲in south & ⬆️🌲in north) But, how will boreal tree cover dynamics influence—and be influenced by—climate feedbacks? We discuss this in a new commentary @pnas.org. 🧪 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Why does hyperspectral reflectance work for tracking plant physiological dynamics? I recently wrote a commentary for @newphyt.bsky.social about that, targeted for a broad audience of plant scientists 🍃🌈🧪 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
