Drought and insects have killed an unprecedented number of Oregon’s Douglas fir trees during the last decade, costing billions in timber value, damaging infrastructure and ramping up wildfire danger. What is Douglas fir dieback? Where is it happening? What is being done? tinyurl.com/5n9amvx6

Great to see this paper out!📰 Fifty shades of fade: linking transmittance loss to cellular death during leaf dehydration 🌿🔬 @irnase.bsky.social

Sheng et al. call for greater survey efforts and broader conservation initiative to protect the 11 (ELEVEN!) felid species of the Tibetan Plateau. (Strong contender for the Correspondence, or indeed article of any kind, with the best figure we ever published) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Join us for an exciting ITMN Seminar: “Tiny leaks with deadly consequences” by Paulo Menezes July 24th at 3 pm (CEST). Register here: www.tree-mortality.net/seminars/

Our new results challenge the expectation that climate warming will offset carbon losses caused by heat and drought with a longer growing season in forests: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌱 The first issue of Plant Ecophysiology is out! Chief Editor Jaume Flexas shares his vision for the future of plant science publishing—and how Plant-Environment Interactions is leading the way. A standout feature? Reviewers are paid for their work. Editorial: media.sciltp.com/articles/250...

Fascinating study on ecosystem drought adjustments and why longterm studies really matter.

Der Klimawandel wir die Wälder in der Schweiz stark betreffen - wieso scheint das Interesse bei Politik und Gesellschaft so gering? #Don'tLookUp www.szf-jfs.ch/de/artikel/w...

Nice one!

Interested to work on a less-studied greenhouse gas, namely COS exchange of a forest with the atmosphere? We have an open 4-yr PhD position in our international group. at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. 🧪 More details here: 🧪 jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOP...

📢 Job Alert! 🌳 Looking for a 2-yr postdoc (ext. up to 3 yrs) to join me at U. of Gothenburg to study links between environmental drivers, tree conditions (e.g., #treedamage), and physiological processes leading to #tropical #treemortality. Apply by: April 17th Details below

Don’t miss our next online tree mortality seminar by Kauane Bordin on: “The role of disturbance in shaping demographic trade-offs in temperate trees” 1st April 18:00 CEST 12:00 EDT Register here: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Cool viewpoint on the impact of extreme temperatures on cell death. Perhaps some ecophysiology is required to articulate whole-plant observations and cellular mechanisms 🌿

Ein wichtiger Appell der S4F für eine konsequente, klare, soziale und ehrliche Klimapolitik! Bitte teilt den Appell in eurem Umfeld und zeichnet ihn, wenn ihr in der Wissenschaft aktiv bzw promoviert seid: www.bayceer.uni-bayreuth.de/s4f/de/top/o... Zeichnungsschluss ist Donnerstag 13.03. 10 Uhr

After a working day spent with too many hours of administrative tasks instead of doing science this is a must read.

🌍 Can we map #TreeMortality with #AI & #remotesensing? 🔵 Check the #DeadTrees.Earth — a global initiative led by Clemens Mosig to track and analyze tree mortality from aerial and satellite data. 🔬Looking forward to Teja Kattenborn's talk at the ML Symposium in Zurich! #diversity #forestry

🔬 🧪 🌄 #StandUpForScience2025 is tomorrow, in DC and around the US/world. I benefit from science everyday as a human, a parent, and a scientist & engineer. standupforscience2025.org
