🔥 New study: 85% of remaining #LongleafPine habitat faces tropical storm-force winds every 6 years. We explore how #storms, #fire, insects, and salvage logging interact to shape resilience—and what managers can do about it. bit.ly/44QK3Uk Led by @nzampieri.bsky.social

Excited to share I'll be starting as an asst professor in the department of biology @ University of Central Florida @ucf.bsky.social later this year 😀 super excited for this next step and officially recruiting graduate students!!! #GoKnights #ChargeOn

New pub 🚨 Biodiverse #longleaf habitats are threatened by changing #hurricane regimes 🌀. We review hurricane #ecology, assess risk across scales, and outline adaptive management strategies. We find 85% of habitat sees cyclone winds every 6 yrs and threats are compounded by human management actions

The abstract deadline for #WorldDendro2025 has been extended until April 30th! Calling all dendros! #DendroTilYouDie @treeringsociety.bsky.social

Last week presenting our groups research advancing tropical dendrochronology in Zambia #AAG2025 #DendroTilYouDie

I am in the middle of a field campaign prepping for my research plot to burn in 2 weeks, so we are taking clip plots to estimate fuels. Heres some wiregrass (Aristida beyrichiana) resprouted ~3 days post clipping, which mimics a rapid fire response!! #PlantsAreCool #RxFire

Sabotage. Criminal sabotage. "[The NSF] is planning to lay off between a quarter and a half of its staff in the next two months, a top National Science Foundation official said Tuesday." www.eenews.net/articles/sci...

We’ve seen periods of darkness before. But it’s the resolution to keep yourself shining brightly through that darkness which keeps the long arc of progress moving forward ✨

NSF grantees - people who have already received their grants based on a previously funded and approved research proposal - are being told to stop any activities related to DEI and accessibility. Call this what it is: government censorship of ongoing research projects. www.opm.gov/policy-data-...

Ready to learn how to use LiDAR for research in #forestry and natural resources using #R? This week I am sharing our 7-part series on Bluesky to help you get started! Share with anyone you know who wants to get started. Part 1 covers acquiring, & viewing LiDAR data! bit.ly/lidR-module1

All my ecology peeps slinging the GAM(M)s might find this paper interesting. I was surprised to learn there is a frequentist interpretation of GAM(M)s! (jk) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

The 11th WorldDendro call for abstracts is open now! Abstracts due Feb 15th. WorldDendro will be held in Livingstone, Zambia from July 28th - Aug 1st, 2025. See our website for more info: sites.google.com/view/african... please share!!!!

Starter Packs are great, but they favor well established individuals (understandably so). To help prop up new voices, here is a set of early career ecologists (self defined) who are, or would like to become, active on BlueSky Please reply if you would like to be included! go.bsky.app/Di74bDy

Registration is now open for the 2024 African Dendro Fieldschool, Nov 2-11 in Livingstone, Zambia. We have scholarship opportunities for students from African or low-income countries. Join us!! sites.google.com/view/african... #Dendrochronology #STEMEducation #DendroTilYouDie #TreeRingsandThings
