Ecosystem resilience depends on successful regeneration - not just adult plant performance - yet these processes remain largely overlooked in monitoring and risk assessments. Read more: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

📢 PhD position in Vegetation Ecology (@ Leibniz University Hannover) Join our team to study long-term coastal vegetation dynamics under sea-level rise, climate & land-use change. Fieldwork, traits, spatial analyses & drones included. Deadline: April 15, 2026

A handbook for standardised measurements of plant reproductive traits: from pollen grain to seedling url: connectsci.au/bt/article/7... This handbook discussed protocols for 58 reproductive traits of flowers (10 traits), fruits (6 traits), seeds (36 traits), and seedlings (6 traits).

My first course (“Biodiversity”) at Leibniz University Hannover is completed. 🌱 Ten exciting days exploring global and local plant diversity passed far too quickly. Many thanks to the students for the great atmosphere and the best teaching evaluation I have ever received!

We’re hiring! 🌿 Permanent E13 (100%) position in Plant Ecology & Biodiversity Research at Leibniz University Hannover. Focus: vegetation ecology, field research, quantitative skills, teaching (BSc, German required). Deadline: 15 April 2026 Details: www.uni-hannover.de/jobs/id/8379/

Our handbook on standardised measurements of regenerative plant functional traits is now published: connectsci.au/bt/article/d... It provides protocols for 58 traits across pollen, seeds, and seedlings aimed at improving consistency and comparability in regeneration trait research.

🌱 Can we predict which plant species are likely to establish and spread around the world – before they actually do? Our new study shows that the answer lies in a very early life stage: seed germination.

For several days, my main tools have been a measuring tape and a screwdriver rather than a computer and keyboard. Setting up our new office and lab spaces is slow but oddly satisfying and a good reminder that teaching and research depend on very concrete infrastructures.

Back from a incredible week with the International Tundra Experiment (#ITEX) in Sweden! Our team shared key research on how the Arctic is responding to global change. A thread on our highlights 🧵 #ArcticEcology #ClimateScience

🌱 New paper in Diversity & Distributions! We show that European alpine plants remain largely stable despite warming, with abundance shifts varying regionally. Seed traits offer limited power to predict “winners” & “losers,” highlighting the need for long-term monitoring. 📖 doi.org/10.1111/ddi....

🌊 Rising seas threaten Danish coastal plants—increased salinity hampers germination, and limited dispersal prevents migration. Congrats to @TanjaLazic on defending her excellent MSc thesis! 🎉 Rigorous data, complex stats, and sharp insights. Wishing you all the best! 👏

Really excited to have a new colleague to work on our amazing collections! 🧪🏛️ candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationI...

Rising seas threaten Denmark’s coastal plants. Our MSc student Tanja Lazic studies seed tolerance & dispersal to uncover which species can adapt or migrate. Her work supports restoration, green infrastructure, & flood management. Let’s protect, restore, & work with nature.

Imagine how much better academia could be if those in power genuinely embraced two simple phrases: 'You were right' and 'I’m sorry my mood influenced my reaction.' A little humility goes a long way.

3 years into my first faculty job, I was thrilled about the new career opportuniteis. What I didn’t expect was how little time I’d spend on actual research. Yesterday, I set up 2 small experiments to test a new method. Spending half a day in the lab felt amazing!

🌿 Thrilled to have hosted Margherita Tognela, a PhD student from @UniPavia, last autumn! Her work on plant traits helping alpine species survive climate change is groundbreaking. Plus, she’s uncovering how tundra fires impact Arctic plant regeneration - stay tuned for her findings! #AlpineEcology

🌿 Our MSc student Magnus is studying how alpine plants in Abisko, Sweden, respond to climate change. By comparing historical & recent data + functional traits, they’re uncovering which plant strategies thrive in warming alpine environments. #PlantEcology #ClimateChange
