Don't miss the next seminar on the PSInet database by Kimberly Novick & Jessica Guo, which starts in 1h.

Interested in tree growth dynamics? Want to learn about dendrometers? Check out this new and promising global network!

Great overview on recommended silvicultural actions for practitioners and students, but in German.

Freshly published paper led by @santiagotrueba.bsky.social on leaf water losses across vascular plants 🌳🔬🧪 The 50-fold variation in gmin across ecological groups was weakly related to phylogeny with evidence for convergent evolution in response to climate 🌡️💦 @newphyt.bsky.social

🌲🌳 PhD opportunity: Forest Vulnerability to Hotter Droughts Interested in forest ecosystems, climate extremes & tree stress resilience? 🎓 Dual PhD (KIT 🇩🇪 + Melbourne 🇦🇺) 🔬 Plant Ecophysiology Lab, Garmisch-Partenkirchen 🇩🇪 🌍 +1-year research stay 🇦🇺 👉 Apply here: t1p.de/g39co

Great opportunity and team if you are interested in ecophysiology.

Awesome! I am looking forward watching the full video but already now I would claim it depends on the size of samples needed. Tree climbing for long branches, e.g. for hydraulic measurements, and drone for leaves or twiglets, for e.g. nutrient analyses or water potential measurements. Let's see.

Exciting research environment in a great team and a lovely working space

We are looking forward to ITMN seminar #30 with Ruiling Lu to learn about tree mortality in Australian forests 🌳 🌲 🌏 Come and join us! 👇🏽

Another PhD opportunity, joint project with colleagues from Prague on the future of beech in the Ore Mountains funded by the EU Interreg program. If you are interested in the effect of thinning and forest structure on high-resolution tree growth responses, see here: tu-dresden.de/stellenaussc....

PhD opportunity: If you are interested in ecophysiology and tree water relations (subproject 2), less than a week left to apply.

Great guy, important topic ... Lars Vesterdal, University of Copenhagen - 🧪🍁 Soil and ecosystem carbon sequestration over 50 years in resampled oak and Norway spruce afforestation chronosequences on former cropland. -When: Wednesday 11 February 16.00 CET. ZOOM: cesnet.zoom.us/j/9212345086...

We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher!🌲 🌳 🌍 📍Interested in boreal and temperate forest productivity and respiration? 💻 Like to work with large datasets, remote sensing and models? 🏔️ Love an alpine setting in a small town? Come and join us at KIT! Application details: t1p.de/qctj7

We are hiring three PhDs within the joint project ‘Forests in transition: The future of European beech under drought stress’. If you are interested in tree water relations in response to stem density reduction (subproject 2), see here: www.verw.tu-dresden.de/StellAus/ste....

Worldwide, larger trees suffer most following extreme drought, which likewise seems to apply to European beech in response to the exceptional 2018/19 drought, see here: doi.org/10.1016/j.fo.... Great work by @jsrieder.bsky.social as part of her DFG-funded PhD project BEECHDECLINE.

If you are interested in ecohydrology and soil-plant-water relationships under drought, here's the chance to join a great team.

We’re opening the doors for community meetings. Your chance to influence our next steps & get more involved in the network. Join one of our upcoming sessions: 🗓 Dec 4 — 06:00 UTC t1p.de/m3gty 🗓 Dec 4 — 18:00 UTC t1p.de/xaxsu 🗓 Dec 5 — 13:00 UTC t1p.de/c4icd Help guide where ITMN goes next! 🚀

Over 2,600🌳 #trees during the 2018–2020 #drought : • Traits disadvantageous in normal years became beneficial under drought • Trees grew better with neighbours whose hydro-functional traits differed from their own 🗞️Paper out now @globalchangebio.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

We re-evaluate several root hydraulic paradigms and show that they are outdated (doi.org/10.1007/124_...). Thanks to ‪@mutezahmed.bsky.social‬‬, @profchoat.bsky.social, @sdelzon.bsky.social, @peterpetrik94.bsky.social, @torresruizjm.bsky.social, @scottmcadam.bsky.social‬ and others.‬
