📣So happy to share the PhorEau model, combining models of forest dynamics, plant water relations, and process-based SDM = linking ecophysiology, ecology & biogeography 🌳📈💻 gmd.copernicus.org/articles/18/... ➡️ from Tanguy Postic's PhD, with many perspectives to simulate forests under CC

our new research - proximal #RemoteSensing below ground :)

💡 Came across this nice tool today: 🎨 qualpal for algorithmically choosing maximally distinct colors under certain restrictions #dataviz JOSS paper, online tool, R package #rstats joss.theoj.org/papers/10.21...

Still want to make cleaning biodiversity data shrimp-ler? 🦐 Good news: We just updated our Cleaning Biodiversity Data in R book, so you still can! We've updated data for 2025, added new content & fixed lots of silly typos 😀 Live the shrimp-le life: cleaning-data-r.ala.org.au #rstats #ecology 🧪🌏

Dr. Brett Scheffers will be giving our October Funk lecture! If you are interested in how micro-scale variation in climate and habitat interact to shape biogeographic patterns, you won't want to miss this talk! Learn more here: www.biogeography.org/news/news/oc...

very interesting reading about #macroecology patterns emerging...just everywhere :) and what biological mechanisms we can (or rather can not) infer from such patterns

Occlusion in forest laser scanning is often seen as a problem, but it can also be an opportunity. Our new preprint tries to find the positives in the things we haven't seen. 🌲🌳🧪 eartharxiv.org/repository/view/10336/

We just published a paper that shows including lateral flow of soil moisture matters for climate once you get down to km-scale modelling of the land surface. More and more of our work is at these scales so we need to start including processes like this. 🧪 hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

What really limits tree growth—carbon source or sink? 🤔 I argue it’s not either/or but a distal → proximal continuum: from photosynthesis to transport and cell division, drivers act together to shape C allocation & growth 🌱🌍 🔗 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.70516

New R-package alert! 🚨 With tabs it has never been easier to reconstruct altitudinal shifts of biogeographical systems over time. Whether in the ocean 🏝️, shallow seas 🪸 or mountains ⛰️; tabs can project spatial configurations shaped by climatic conditions. ➡️ doi.org/10.21425/fob...

If you need more references, the preprint was a lot longer and had MUCH more explanations and refs: arxiv.org/abs/2408.16007

we prepared detail manual for working with #microclimate time-series and microclimatic maps in #Rstats covers a lot - from #TMS_loggers installation and calibration to advanced data analyses with #myClim originally in czech, but #AI translated to english: labgis.ibot.cas.cz/metodika-ppz...

Br aware and do not fall into this trap:

Plants are facing the #heat – from molecules to the biosphere –but predicting their responses isn’t easy. New @science.org paper w/ @mekevans.bsky.social & Jia Hu shows how plant responses to #warming can shift or reverse across #scales, and how new research can improve prediction. shorturl.at/mQB2c

⬇️this is treasure trove for every geoEcologist. BIG thanks for it!

Greening in the arid Western #Himalaya isn't just about warming 🌡️. Using two decades of 🛰️ #Landsat NDVI data, we found precipitation 🌧️🌨️ and CO2 fertilization, not temperature, drives spectral greening across elevations in #Ladakh.

Deadline: end of May plantlifebelowground.wordpress.com/2025/05/14/g...

increasing #vegetation productivity in #Himalaya is controlled by #precipitation rather than #temperature, even above 5000 m elevation... see our new discoveries published in Environmental Research Letters: doi.org/10.1088/1748... #NDVI #Landsat #Ladakh #greening

new #microclimate - #plant study from #Ladakh #Himalaya:

yeah. Definitely not the worst place to work as a scientist :))
