The highlights of our new study summarized as a press release! ⚠️ This is what can happen if two PhD students decide they have not yet had enough and want to do collaborative research. Worth it! @mrakklara.bsky.social @sharathpaligi.bsky.social @wileyecology.bsky.social

DFG erlaubt Einsatz von KI in der Begutachtung. Wenn wir jetzt noch die AI dazu kriegen, die komplette Forschung zu machen, haben wir den Menschen komplett von der Last des Forschungsprozzeses befreit und er kann sich komplett auf wichtige Dinge wie Reisekostenerstattungsanträge konzentrieren.

Our new paper is out, involving some tree climbing and dual #isotope tracing:

Don't miss our upcoming mini-conference! 🌍🌱 Join us for "Linking biodiversity, functions, and climate: Insights from global ecosystems" on 1st December from 11am – 4pm at F01, Busenweg 1, North Campus. Registration: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/581694.html #EnriCo #miniconference

Rainy day fieldwork just got significantly cuter (and tastier sounding!) 🐭! Micaela is out battling the soggy conditions today and looks like she's already found a star: the Edible Dormouse (glis glis)! Don't worry, we're just collecting data, not dinner🌧️ #EnriCo #EdibleDormouse

Thanks for having us! Had some great exchange and inspiration by fellow #dendrometer nerds, and my most expensive beer ever in the beautiful city of Oslo. It was definitely worth it.

Travelling to Norway to see what @daniellecreek.bsky.social & colleagues are up to. Turns out changing trains in Malmö at 6am is not as bad as it sounds

Great meeting, and impressive field site in the Black Forest 🌳

Fun to be part of this #SciComm initiative on #Forest #Resilience!

Saturday we @enricounigoe.bsky.social went into the forest for our outreach project “Forest Resilience: Science and Practice”. We showed how scientists study forests — from soil to canopy — to supports climate-resilient forest management. Learn more: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/701003.html

Colorful encounters during fieldwork. Beech leaves are still green, but #FungiFriends are out getting ready for autumn 🍃🍄

🌳 New Tansley Insight! 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

Exkursion (kostenlos) für alle Interessierten – auch mit Kindern: Wie untersuchen Forschende Wälder im Kontext des Klimawandels?

Was macht Wälder resilient und wie funktioniert ein Baum überhaupt? Im September sind die Deutschen #Waldtage2025. Passend dazu organisieren wir am 20.9. eine Exkursion für alle, die sich für Bäume und Waldforschung interessieren - vor der Haustür unseres Campus in #Göttingen.

Congratulations Dr. Sharath Paligi!

I successfully defended my PhD on tree-water relations in pure and mixed forests this week! Still slightly overwhelmed, honored, and motivated to keep the research going. A big thank you to my supervisor Christian Ammer, the EnriCo colleagues, and everyone else involved in this journey. #PhDone

Der #Wald wird im #Klimawandel trockener. Gerade im Oberboden wird das #Wasser knapp. Welche Bäume wachsen so noch gut, und machen Mischwälder einen Unterschied? An Fichte, Buche und Douglasie haben Forschende untersucht, woher die Bäume ihr Wasser holen. Mehr: www.uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html...

Excited to see the next chapter of my PhD published in #PlantBiology: doi.org/10.1111/plb.... Another piece in the puzzle of tree-water relations and mixed-species forests! @plantsciencedbg.bsky.social @enricounigoe.bsky.social #openaccess #isotopes 🍁

In subproject 1, Christian Ammer & Christina Hackmann (U Göttingen) will study how beech forests with different structures respond to climatic extremes like droughts. They focus on tree growth and water balance, using in situ measurements (sap flow sensors, dendrometers) and retrospective 13C data.

Great woman, scientist & collaborator. Congrats @mrakklara.bsky.social PhD 🔥

Frost is approaching! Canopy hydrologists @sharathpaligi.bsky.social and @christina-hn.bsky.social coming to the rescue of their microtensiometers, installed at 30 m height in European beech and ash trees. Luckily, fieldwork never ends. @bioclimatology.bsky.social #PlantFizzFriday 🌿🌳🍃🍂
