A Meta‐Regression of 18 Wildfire Chronosequences Reveals Key Environmental Drivers and Knowledge Gaps in the Boreal Nitrogen Balance 🔗 buff.ly/IgjGnD0 @stefhupperts.bsky.social @michael-gundale.bsky.social

I had a few people at #ESA2025 say that it was hard to find where to apply for jobs in Sweden. If you want to check jobs at university, here's the website: www.slu.se/en/about-slu... #forests #restorationecology #forestry #silviculture

Not from the EU and looking to come to Sweden to do reseach? There is a grant for that! Applications taken through December 2025. www.vr.se/english/appl...

Currently doing field work in interior Alaska, where black spruce reigns supreme 👑

I'm so excited to share our new paper in Global Change Biology: A network of 18 wildfire chronosequences reveals key environmental drivers and knowledge gaps in the boreal nitrogen balance, with @michael-gundale.bsky.social and others. doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Are you in the USA, interesting in greater stability, and looking for a postdoc with excellent funding? Write me to discuss this opportunity to come to Austria under the APART-USA program from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Uni Wien. stipendien.oeaw.ac.at/en/fellowshi...

In beautiful Vienna for #EGU25! Looking forward to a fun week. Check out my poster on Wednesday morning for some boreal nitrogen excitement 🌳🌲

New paper out in @jappliedecology.bsky.social ! We studied carry-over effects of nitrogen fertilization in Swedish production forests. 🌲🧪🌍 🧵(1/7) besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper alert. We compared foliar fungal communities in native and introduced populations for a pine species (Spoiler alert: fewer pathogens in exotic populations). Shout out to an excellent international network of collaborators. 👇👇👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The 2023 wildfire season was unlike anything Canada had seen before. What drove such extreme fire activity, and what can we learn for the future? A new CJFR collection explores these questions through expert perspectives and key research ▶️ ow.ly/2QFL50UY6ti

Check the add below for an exciting PhD opportunity! FYI, Sweden is a great place for PhD studies (full workers rights!) and less chaotic than some other places at the moment.

Check out our new paper where we zoom in to the boreal forests to investigate aboveground and belowground trait coordination across a large number of species. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Interesting question addressed by the group of @j-karst.bsky.social

Every expt is humbling—I learn how much I don’t know about forests. This latest expt was no exception. In response to 13 yrs of N addition, we measured fungal mass (dead/alive), chitin conc, root tannin conc, and potential genetic capacity of EcM fungi. No trt effects detected!

In their 2021 study, @j-karst.bsky.social et al found that 13 years of N addition in boreal aspen forests was linked with more "high biomass" ectomycorrhizas. Does that translate to more fungal necromass in the soil?...

Happy new year! Soon back to the office after a break filled with skiing, family, and cozy evenings.

We are looking for three 3-year post doc positions within the #WIFORCE research program Future Silviculture #SLU #Umeå. Please share! Carbon and water fluxes in boreal forests Drivers of xylem embolisms in forests Tree belowground site occupancy in boreal forests www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

Curious how forest microclimate and soil microbes drive carbon cycling in a changing climate? 🌡️🌳🍄We're offering a 4-year PhD position at @mycopat.bsky.social, SLU-Uppsala. A cool new project in collaboration with @linegreis.bsky.social Apply now or help spread the word! www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

PHD STUDENT WANTED! As part of the @kawresearch.bsky.social Wallenberg Initiative in Forest Research (WIFORCE), we are offering a fully funded, 4yr, #PhD position studying #riparian forest #biodiversity & #microclimate. Due date Jan 21st! www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

I am offering a PhD opportunity at University of Edinburgh as part of the E5 DTP. CASE partner: Forest Research On the microbial mechanisms of soil carbon cycling in tree-planted upland soils. Application deadline: 6th Jan. Please share with your network. e4-dtp.ed.ac.uk/e5-dtp/super...

With all the new people joining the scientific community the past week I wanted to re-post this tenure-track job in environmental data science. There are ~10 days left until we start reviewing candidates. Come join us here in beautiful Upper Michigan on the shores of Lake Superior.

Team work makes the dream work! We collected a lot of different samples over the past week and can’t wait to see the results.

We are growing birch seedlings in sterile conditions, and two weeks ago we inoculated half of them with a soil solution. Really neat to see the mycorrhizas develop in real time (the photo on the right, with brown-ish medium)!

Please share!! We’re recruiting a 4-year PhD student to investigate sources of biological nitrogen fixation in boreal forests. You'll work in beautiful northern Sweden and be based at SLU in Umeå. See link for more details! 🦠🌲🌳🍂 www.slu.se/en/about-slu...
