Canopy photosynthesis responds to increasing temperatures by boosting maximum photosynthetic rates, especially when water availability is not limited. New study in @NaturePlants with contribution by @DechantBenjamin from iDiv and @UniLeipzig. idiv.de/en/news/news_s…

Moving over to Bluesky as so many others: @bendechant.bsky.social

We are looking for two 3yr postdocs to join us @NUSgeog! One will work on tropical vegetation monitoring using phenocam, sap flow and eddy covariance (careers.nus.edu.sg/job-invite/269…). One will broadly work on modelling vegetation dynamics under climate change (careers.nus.edu.sg/job-invite/269…).

A new paper on Himawari-8/AHI land surface reflectance evaluation using LEO with off-nadir observation (e.g. MISR, GCOM-C SGLI) is now accepted and published in Remote Sens Environ. Great work, first author by @bosh0113. @g106660yuhei @Lww970330 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🌱Good News: Plants Are Adapting 🌍 Prof. Youngryel Ryu’s team from SNU’s Dept. of Landscape Architecture and Rural Systems Engineering has made an exciting discovery: plants from the tundra to the tropics are adjusting their canopy photosynthesis to thrive in higher temperatures, enhancing carbon uptake efficiency. This natural resilience has major implications for global carbon cycling and climate models, showing us just how adaptable nature can be.

Finally moved over to @bluesky and impressed by how much of our community is there, but still missing (or have not yet found) some of my former twitter constants. Would be nice to see you there! tompugh.bsky.social

inspired by @dmlmont and the Awesome Spectral Indices, Sadegh Ranjbar incorporated shortwave infrared into NIRv-type indices to better estimate GPP from geostationary satellites: our latest in @JGRBiogeo w/@DanielleLosos & more great colleagues: dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024JG…
