New paper! 🌳 iWUE in a beech forest shows no big differences across silvicultural treatments, but rises ~20% by 2050 under climate change. At this site, climate—not management—drives future iWUE. doi.org/10.1007/s116...

Out today in JAMES!! Parameter Estimation in Land Surface Models: Challenges and Opportunities With Data Assimilation and Machine Learning doi.org/10.1029/2024... led by Nina Raoult, Natalie Douglas, @janasknits.bsky.social, @tquaife.bsky.social, me, and an awesome team of folks in the community 1/2

New study out of our laboratory! First-ever national scale study using NFI plots and the process based forest model 3D-CMCC-FEM in Italy! A great work lead by my colleague Elia Vangi.

⚒️ Article: The onset of Southern Ocean convection following a slowing of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation during Heinrich Events can help explain rapid CO2 increases and Antarctic warming during these events @pik-potsdam.bsky.social‬ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to share our latest study!

I normally post on climate science, which is my expertise. But this is too important to look away, so I want to share this from the Washington Post. Please read. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Come work with us! We are looking to fill a PhD (mountain forest management) and PostDoc position (forest adaptive capacity, w/ @juditlecinadiaz.bsky.social). We'd be happy to have you as part of our dynamic team! PhD: www.lss.ls.tum.de/fileadmin/w0... PostDoc: www.lss.ls.tum.de/fileadmin/w0...

🆕 Exciting news: the model just got a major upgrade in accessibility! Say hello to R3DFEM—a new open-source R package that makes this powerful forest simulator much easier to use: link.springer.com/article/10.1... @ale-collalti.bsky.social , @ddalmo.bsky.social

New review in 𝐶𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑦 𝑅𝑒𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑠 @springernature.com explores how forest growth models tackle the complex carbon source–sink feedback under climate change. 📄Paper Open-access: link.springer.com/article/10.1... 🧠Behind the paper: communities.springernature.com/posts/modeli...

🌳🌏As Europe moves forward on its #climate & sustainability journey, forest-related policies & management practices need to evolve.🤝 This is the shared objective of three Horizon Europe projects 👉 forestpaths.eu/storage/app/... @forestpaths.eu #EUforestprojects #climatechange #forestresearch

Want to see something really insane? Look at this website for USGS's Water Science Centers and Regions and see how many of their directors have "Former Employee" after their names. Everyone's gone! My best friend from grad school was one of them. Who's monitoring floods, droughts, etc?

🌍Big news from the forest front! The #OptFor-EU project, featuring insights from Alessio Collalti, is in #HorizonMagazine, showcasing how science is helping Europe’s forests adapt to climate change! 📖 Read more: projects.research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/en/horizon-m... @ale-collalti.bsky.social

Excited to share that our new paper “Summer 2024 in northern Fennoscandia was very likely the warmest in 2000 years” has been published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science! See the open-access paper from doi.org/10.1038/s416... Short thread 👇

Every time I check my phone or simply refresh my social media feed, someone is sharing about an educational program or critical scientific research effort that is being cut. It’s infuriating and so upsetting. We need to continue making people and communities aware of what is happening.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Fully funded PhD in Plant Ecophysiology at UBC in Vancouver 🍁! Possible topics include leaf physiology, thermal ecology, microclimates, scaling, tree physiology, forest ecology & more. Start Jan/May/Sept 2026. michaletzlab.org Please share! #PlantEcoPhys #Ecology #Botany #PhDposition #GradSchool

Arctic update for Mar. 1, 2025: Arctic sea-ice extent set a record daily low every day in February and is poised to set an all-time record low maximum this month.

I never expected this to be applicable again.

Interesting work by van der Meersch et al. out in Ecology Letters, nicely illustrating that process-based models are more robust than correlative models for predicting species distributions under novel climatic conditions doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Important piece on the role of Ockham's razor in the modern world of scientific modeling in @pnas.org. Conclusion: Complex models can be quite useful, and parsimony and complexity can complement each other in helping us to gain new insights! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

How do forest harvesting regimes really look across Europe? Working with forestry inventories from 11 countries @ssuvanto.bsky.social quantifies how probability and intensity of harvest events actually vary across the continent agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Just a friendly reminder about the role of NOAA : www.noaa.gov/about-our-ag...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

This critical loss of data needs to be reported by our science writers @revkin.bsky.social @sammyroth.bsky.social @edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social @gporterwx.bsky.social

GHG emissions from the German LULUCF sector have gone from around neutral to a large source! The change is almost entirely in forest land. "Due to the years of drought, around two million hectares of trees have been damaged and some have died completely." www.thuenen.de/en/thuenen-t... 1/

Up to 100,000 people protested against right-wing lies in Berlin, Germany on Saturday night.

Do you want to be a climate modeler? (despite the perpetual existential panic, I still wouldn't want to do anything else...) This year's CESM tutorial applications are open... www.cesm.ucar.edu/events/tutor...

From division to ‘divergence’: to understand wood growth across timescales, we need to (learn to) manipulate it

Congrats to Jerzy Piotr Kabala on another milestone in his PhD! 🎉 Our new paper explores how meteorological data, and #Sentinel1 & #Modis #vegetation indices reveal sap flux dynamics in a beech forest in the southern Apennines. 🌲💧 Read it here: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Don't miss an opportunity to leave your mark in advancing the Earth system model development activities within @wcrpclimate.bsky.social WGCM is seeking new members with a focus on women, gender-diverse individuals from different regions and expertise. www.wcrp-esmo.org/news/open-ca... 🧪 🌊

The meeting is hybrid, so join us online from anywhere for free! Tutorial for running emissions-driven CESM is in person only, and it would be great to see you in Boulder. We will also make all of the materials from the tutorial public.

If foresters want to take credit for the Norwegian forest sink, then they have to take responsibility for its collapse in the last 10 years (green). And yes, including LULUCF in Norwegian emissions means net GHG emissions have risen since 2010 (black line)... www.nationen.no/norges-skoge...

From mapping forest function and disturbances, exploring forest dynamics to mortality from drought, 2024 has seen several analyses we've been working on for years finally come out. Here's a quick summary of them, @julenastigarraga.bsky.social @n-acil.bsky.social @daijunliu.bsky.social

Interested in how and where trees move water? I'm hiring a plant ecophys postdoc to study hydraulic redistribution in Indiana forests. If you'll be at AGU and want to discuss, please reach out! jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/postdoc...

We seek 2 post docs to join our group working on atmospheric methane removal (AMR) in trees. These exciting projects (👇🏼) seek to build on our recent @nature discovery of global AMR by trees. These projects combine flux msrmnts, global modelling & microbial ecology. Pls RT 🙏🏼
