This is only the second time we’ve had more than two Category 5 storms in a single Atlantic hurricane season

🧟 Soil Fun Fact: Zombie carbon, or when the underground comes back to life! Soil holds more carbon than all plants + the atmosphere, but when disturbed, some of it “rises from the dead” as CO₂! 🎃 Keep that #ZombieCarbon buried this #Halloween 🌱 #EGUSSS #SoilScience #CarbonCycle

We are extending the deadline until November 09 for submissions to the #2026PeatECRcalendar. Send us your best #wildlife photos in #peatlands and other #wetlands. Include the coordinates, peatland and animal name, some information about your project. Email to [email protected]

Grateful to see our paper featured in an Eos Research Spotlight, “How Plant–Fungi Friendships Are Changing.” Cool title!

Congrats to @dukesjeff.bsky.social and many other @droughtnet.bsky.social scientists working on studying the effects of different drought patterns in grasslands and shrublands worldwide. Read more below:

Higher Ed in 2025 is opening your mailbox to see that your institution has sent you: 1. A Center for Teaching and Learning call to integrate AI into your classroom; and 2. An Office of Academic Integrity email encouraging you to crack down on students who use AI to cheat.

Important new carbon markets story from @benelgin.bsky.social in Bloomberg: Verra acknowledges it issued too many carbon credits to a controversial forest offset project, but hasn't implemented a remedy — despite backing companies' use of these credits. 🎁 Gift link below.

If you are faculty, alumni, staff, student, or a student's parent at any of these places, you have an unusual chance to influence the future right now by communicating with your administration clearly about what's at stake.

🌱 New framework in plant ecology! Researchers propose 6 Belowground Persistence Types (BPTs) — classifying plants by woodiness, clonality, and resprouting ability. This whole-plant view reveals how species persist after disturbance and could reshape how we study resilience. 🔗 buff.ly/LgaPglR (MK)

Do you study effect of disturbance on large scales? Use Belowground Persistence Types of plants! We hope that they will help us to understand better ecosystem resilience than only plant traits.

New term means a new and returning group of enthusiastic undergrads working in the lab on all sorts of rhizosphere projects! (just missing 3 people) Can't you tell how excited we all are! 🌳🍂🍁 @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social

Amazing resources created by Tumber-Dávila Lab manager and incredible naturalist @sgradywelsh.bsky.social to help the community learn about identifying roots and creating the Rhizarium (a new and hopefully expanding database of root and rhizosphere images) Stay tuned for follow up commentary! 🌎🌳🧪

Ale is looking to join her lab at UTEP, if you are interested in graduate research in arid plant ecology, it's an amazing opportunity with an even more amazing mentor! @esalatamcarib.bsky.social 🧪🌎🌳

Always a pleasure to get out into the woods and learn from the amazing Kevin Evans, Dartmouth's incredibly wise Director of Woodlands, who approaches silviculture with the care and art that the environment deserves. Here we are touring Morton Farm and discussing past and future management

NSF today released instructions for the next round of applicants to its Graduate Research Fellowship Program. A key group—second-year Ph.D. students—is no longer eligible, and students who are still able to apply will face an unusually narrow timeframe. https://scim.ag/3KlQkQk

For those anxiously awaiting it: the NSF GRFP solicitation is out, with a November 14 deadline for Geoscience applicants: www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Wonderful talk by @saltyecoevo.bsky.social about his exciting work on chemical ecology and urban biodiversity patterns across the Americas #DataObservatory #UMayor

The influence of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program really cannot be overstated. The fact that there is still no solicitation for this year is unfair to students and risks damaging the future of American science. Please take 30 seconds to sign the open letter to US STEM Leadership 🧪🌎

Sequoia sempervirens (redwood; world's tallest tree) is well adapted to high-intensity crown fires (eg 2020), but Sequoiadendron giganteum (giant sequoia; world's most massive tree) is adapted to surface fires only! bsapubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🧪🌍🔥🌿🌳🔥🪴 @botsocamerica.bsky.social

Plants cool the land through evapotranspiration, but green foliage can absorb more heat than lighter surfaces, causing warming. A study finds that in the northern hemisphere, cooling outweighs warming until the end of the growing season. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Fantastic video by undergraduate lab member Tobin Yates on the project he did this summer! @dartmouthoutdoors www.instagram.com/reel/DO6KKP7...

I just passed my 50,000th identification on @inaturalist.bsky.social! Identifying is a huge but often ignored part of the #iNaturalist community and dataset so I wanted to share why and how I identify. 1/14 🧪 #ecology #taxonomy #botany #CommunityScience
