How much carbon is being lost from tropical forests due to ozone pollution? New results from our work just out in Nature Geoscience. #airpollution, #ozone, #tropicalforests rdcu.be/dTKUN

The countdown is on! After 4 years of traipsing around the rainforest and thinking a lot about leaf temperatures, I'll be presenting the results of my PhD at my pre-completion seminar on September 12th. DM me for the Zoom link if you want to join!

How does elevated temperature and vapour pressure deficit impact leaf gas exchange and plant growth in tropical rainforest trees? The first chapter of my PhD is now out in @NewPhyt nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/TAHHQUYS…

Shifts in internal stem damage and implications for forest biomass 📖 ow.ly/Q3v750QimNC by Flores-Moreno et al. @HabaFM @StevenDAllison @red_termite @BeccasBugs @LucasCernusak @AWCheesman @AmyZanne

Delighted to share our new paper on the potential impacts of ground-level ozone on sugarcane production in Brazil sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thrilled to see our research about temperature thresholds of tropical trees led by Chris Doughty featured on the cover of @Nature. The cover shows a thermal image (taken by me!) of tropical tree species Alstonia scholaris and Melicope rubra in Australia. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New @Nature paper: tropical forest temps from ECOSTRESS + leaf-level are starting to exceed Tcrit--where leaf function begins to fail. Models + warming experiments show non-linear increases in surface temp w/ inc. air temp --> tipping point w/in RCP 8.5. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Mst Nahid Farha, succesfully presenting her pre completion seminar on the impacts of ozone on tropical plants!

@KaliMiddleby Great to see all your hard work coming together!

Attending #ESA2023 ? Interested in how tropical trees respond to high temperatures vs high vapour pressure deficit? Come to my talk Thursday 8:30 PDT in E142 cdmcd.co/pMnkXQ #ESA2023

Thrilled to be a Eureka Prize finalist! The #TroMPS project is a large collaboration saving tropical cloud forest flora. @RBG_Victoria @ecoart_sci @IanPotterFdn @WetTropicsMA @BotanicSydney @ANBG @Parks_Australia @ParksVictoria @jcu

Join us for our weekly TESS seminar. Live in the Crowther Lecture Theatre (A3-003) Smithfield and online on Zoom and YouTube. *Please visit the TESS website for the streaming links, abstract and speaker bio: jcu.edu.au/tess/seminars

Playing with licors. Examining VPD sensitivity in tropical trees using LI-6400s

Just out! A leaf warming experiment done in both a temperate and tropical forest canopy, showing how 4 °C warming disrupts leaf homeothermy and negatively affects leaf photosynthesis in both systems. Read about it at academic.oup.com/treephys/advan…

New paper out! Testing In-drain denitrifying woodchip bioreactors for reducing nitrogen runoff sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

This is brilliant - utterly brilliant . Watch it and follow @ClimateSciBreak & the superb @JonathanPieNews & get to London for #TheBigOne from the 21st April . Please RT !
