🌳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...

Do aquaporins play a key role in regulating leaf gas exchange—especially under unsaturation in the stomatal cavity at high VPD? We think so! Check out our opinion piece in Plant, Cell & Environment with Haoyu Diao and @arthurobuntspecht.bsky.social: 📄 doi.org/10.1111/pce....

A nice variability between the seedlings of Quercus pubescens from Pfynwald/Switzerland, Barcelona/Spain, and Crete/Greece. Looking forward to test how they cope with heat stress above 40°C

One week left to get active in Germany. Go #vote. For #democracy for #climate for our #future. Time to act is now

More than 90% of fossil fuel emissions occurred since my parents were born. Over 80% since I was born. Over 30% since my children were born. And well over 50% since the world agreed at the Rio Earth Summit to prevent dangerous climate change. And I thought: „At last!“

Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
