🔥🌱 From the #AJB Special Issue: “Understanding novel #fire regimes using plant trait‐based approaches" 🌱🔥 A functional trait perspective on restored temperate #grassland responses to changing winter insulation & managed disturbance by fire By Katherine Charton et al. doi.org/10.1002/ajb2... #botany

We're recruiting!! Myself along with Nathan Gill, Dylan Schwilk @schwilk.org, and Katharine Suding are recruiting people for Master's, PhD, and postdoc positions in GrassFire, an NSF funded project examining fuels and fire risk in grassland ecosystems across the Southern Great Plains! 🔥🌿🐮

🌱🔥 Grassland fires are becoming more frequent and more dangerous across the country. Ecologist Katharine Suding has spent her career understanding the ecosystems that produce them. She shares insights in a Q&A www.colorado.edu/today/2025/0...

Our article on "Marine-derived nutrients shape the functional composition of High Arctic plant communities" is finally out 🐧🦆🌱🌾💩🌊🏔️: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

There is still time to apply for this position! If you have some spatial modelling skills and interest in wildfire, please consider applying.

Our department is searching for a new greenhouse manager: jobs.colorado.edu/jobs/JobDeta... Share with your botanical friends on the job market!

📣We're recruiting! 📣 Katie Suding and I are looking for a postdoc interested in modelling grassland fire and fuels to contribute to an ongoing project on evaluating how grassland management and variation in fuels can impact wildfire risk around Boulder, CO. See the link below for more information.

Hi! 👋 We are scientists studying Earth & environmental systems at CU Boulder. Our name = cold/high places, but these days we work from tropics to poles, incl. the world ocean. Follow us for 🧊 Cold regions ⌛ Past climate 🏔️ Earth surface processes 💨 Atmospheric gases 🌱 Ecological change & lots more!

Thank you! It's been a pleasure working in INSTAAR the last few years!

Excited to share our new paper - plant metabolomics provide an additional trait dimension in community assembly to better understand how niche selection changes along environmental gradients. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... A collaborative project led by @hennhouse.bsky.social

Excited to share our new synthesis of global change experiments from the Niwot LTER onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... We had a great team and great leadership from Jon Henn!

We have a LOT of opportunities for undergraduate student researchers this summer and beyond. Application review is starting! See top three blog posts for details and how to apply: damschenlab.zoology.wisc.edu
