So excited to finally share our new paper charting the global spectrum of tree crown architecture, out today at @natcomms.nature.com ‬🧪🌐 Paper link 🔗: www.nature.com/articles/s41... A brief thread of what we found 🧵

The ability of some trees species to respond to climate and/or CO2 may increase their survival under global change. Species with lower plasticity may face higher mortality. Our new study in @globalchangebio.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #WhatKillsTrees

🌳Urban trees keep cooling - even during record-breaking heatwaves! We show that trees maintained high transpiration, defying model predictions. Tree cooling during heat may be underestimated 🌡️💦 Great study led by Christoph Bachofen @wslresearch.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.uf...

Leaf drought and heat tolerance are integrated across three temperate biome types I am very happy to see our paper out! Plant responses to many stresses are mediated by the same processes and I have long wondered how this relates to hotter droughts. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🌿How you measure heat tolerance matters! We tested 3 species under different methods & durations to find their thermal limits. @a-gthy.bsky.social @kateplantphys.bsky.social @philippschuler.bsky.social

My first paper is out! We investigated how #photosynthetic and #respiratory #thermal #acclimation 🌡️ and #canopy size 🌳 shape tree net #carbon uptake under prolonged warming and drought. Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author... @charlottegrossiord.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social

🌿🔥How heat and VPD shape tree survival? We tested how acclimation to high temperature & VPD impacts drought mortality. While heat speeds up death via leaf area expansion, VPD acclimation slows it down by enhancing stomatal control - balancing mortality timing. doi.org/10.1111/PCE....

New results from the #BIFoR #FACE experiment. Old-growth oak trees show signs of reduced water usage under elevated CO2, but also strong interannual variability, whilst "ghost" trees use less water than those in other treatments. Full details here: doi.org/10.5194/bg-2... @sequick.bsky.social 🧪
