Plants are not only cute and fascinating, they are also crucial to cool down our cities and adapting them to climate change!

Shout out to the #rstats {performance} package. Its check_model() function is super helpful for model evaluation. #statistics #STEM

Interesting summary to reflect on “what’s the point” of science, and how the publication system will interfere on the science we need.

What if plant N & P cycles aren’t as linked as we thought?🤔Our new @journalofecology.bsky.social paper shows that global change decouples them, challenging existing asumptions & showing the need 2 incoporate this decoupling into models to predict global change responses doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Excellent approach using the elementome. Very recomended read!

Showing off our figure of global conifer leaf-widths & leaf silhouettes highlighting that conifers can be broad-leaved & angiosperms can be narrow/ needle-leaved! 🍃 Our paper: tinyurl.com/mss2me7v @newphyt.bsky.social @vallicrosah.bsky.social @botanykat.bsky.social & Matilda Brown

Do you define trees as either needle- or broad-leaved? Are you doing this correctly?

Some time ago, @polete97.bsky.social and I started this very cool project mixing elemental composition, genome size and species distribution. We gathered Anna on the way and yesterday it finally saw the light in front of the the @sibecol-aeet-25.bsky.social audience. What an excelent welcoming!

We offer a postdoc position for developing global analyses on seed germination data using SEEDARC. See the job alert on our website and contact us! www.jimenezalfaro.net

Did you ever wonder when to use "conifer", "gymnosperm", "needleleaf", "angiosperms" and "broadleaves"? Us too so we transformed the discussion into this viewpoint. I hope you enjoy the reading as much as we enjoyed the writing! @kateplantphys.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Forest productivity response to elevated CO2 in free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments: the 23 percent solution, revisited

Our manuscript esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... got awarded #TopViewedArticle! Have you had the chance to learn about nutrients in tropical forests yet? Here we found evidence of some interesting nitrogen-phosphorus links!

We are polishing the last details before the publication of our Viewpoint at @newphyt.bsky.social . This is the first time in my career I am encouraged to provide an abstract written in another language other than English. How difficult but how refreshing at the same time! Very nice initiative!

I’m thrilled to finally share our new dataset paper-years in the making! This has been an incredible rewarding project, and it was a true pleasure to work with such an amazing team of researchers. Huge thanks to supported by @idiv for the support www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It turns out that plant acclimation is not gonna save us. Oh well. Big kudos for my friend's first paper!

Interested in plants under climate extremes? 🍃🌡️💧❄️ Submit an abstract to our session at EGU in Vienna, 27th April- 2nd May 2025! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... Abstracts due Jan 15th @kateplantphys.bsky.social

🎄✨Wrapping up the year with laughter, good food and great company! Our Christmas party was the perfect way to celebrate our journey together ❄️🎉

Yesterday I gave a talk at @wslbiodiversity.bsky.social and I was tipped with an excellent box of Swiss chocolate. Let’s tip our speakers with goodies a bit more often because it feels (and tastes) incredible!

Interested in biogeochemistry and ecological stoichiometry? Submit your abstract to my colleagues session at the next SIBECOL Meeting! “The Flow of Elements and the Functioning of the Biosphere” Great discussions and better seafood! www.sibecol-aeet-meeting2025.org/Index/11/Cal...

Happily migrated from that “olla de grills”. Nice to see that almost all of us is here! I expect to share and read scientific content (specially plant terrestrial ecology) and learn about what is going on in the scientific comunity. Stay connected!
