ESA Vegetation Section

🔔Interested in patterns & drivers of🌳species range shifts across temperate-boreal forest biome transitions under a changing climate❓If so & you are in the area, check out my talk on Nov. 30 @yaleforestry @YaleEnvironment on my lab's research @sunyesf. yaleconnect.yale.edu/TFS/rsvp_boot?…

So happy to share our new paper, published in Remote Sensing of Environment: 🛩️🌳 "Using airborne LiDAR to map forest microclimate temperature buffering or amplification"! doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.… Here's a small thread with the major results + a free share link for full access ⬇️

Love this new seed banking for restoration project at @HFandG! And seeing ecologists in the news. ideastream.org/environment-en… great story by @Ida_in_Cle for @ideastream -- watch the video!

Excellent post doc opportunity: slu.se/en/about-slu/w… Thresholds and tipping points to global warming: plant and soil communities, field work in NZ and Japan, life in northern Sweden, work with @PaulKardol what's not to love? Please share

We are hiring an Assistant Professor in #Horticulture @ucdavis @UCDavisPlants We'd be grateful if you could share this post among your graduating students, postdocs, suitable candidates and professional networks. recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06062

🔔New paper on🍄&🌳❗️ Proximity to an old-growth forest edge & ectomycorrhizal tree islands enhance fungal colonization of ectomycorrhizal tree seedlings in secondary forest soils! Kudos to Dr. Andy Cortese from Tom Horton's lab @sunyesf! @plantandsoil link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Trees grow their stem mostly at night to avoid high vapor pressure deficits. Quite a surprise to me - never miss the link to physiological processes! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

🔔New paper❗️ Treelines in the U.S. Northeast shifted upslope by 3 m/decade on average w/climate warming. Treeline form, topography, & mesoclimate affected the magnitude of the shift! Kudos to @JordonTourville for this PhD work @sunyesf w/@AppMtnClub! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

#ESA2023 More from our great Joint Social with @ESA_org Vegetation Panel & North American Chapter of @IAVS5. Below, ⁦@Alyssa_Young3⁩ receiving her 2023 Robert P. McIntosh Award from yours truly for the best recent paper in vegetation ecology. doi.org/10.1007/s11258…

We are advertising a PhD project studying beautiful heath forests in Borneo with NERC DTP #IAPETUS2 with me, @francisbrearley, @GiacoSellan and Jill Thompson, CEH. Deadline 8th Jan. Details👇

🚨Job Alert🚨@mwlr_nz is hiring a permanent Forest Ecology Researcher! If you have a PhD in Forest/Plant Ecology and are looking to lead and collaborate with ecologists to understand forest ecosystems, this might be the job for you!🌳rb.gy/a6vmh

#ESA2023 A great Social Mixer w/@ESA_org Vegetation Panel & North American Chapter of @IAVS5. Below, McKinley Nevins receiving the 2022 Ton Damman Award from yours truly for the best student presentation in veg. ecology (Photo: Seth Bigelow). 2023 award selection is underway now!

Please RT: Last chance to apply for the tenure track position 'Functional and evolutionary ecology of holobiontes in the context of climate change' at @UMR_EDYSAN, deadline at 21 September. Application to upload at …xie.enseignementsup-recherche.gouv.fr/ensup/cand_rec… @ESAVegetation @IAVS5 @sPlot_iDiv

Are you going to ESA in Portland? If so, come to the Social Mixer of Vegetation Section/Panel @ESA_org & North American Chapter @IAVS5: Tue., Aug. 8, 6:30-8:00 PM PDT. We will have good food, botanical water, & excellent company of vegetation ecologists. esa2023.eventscribe.net/fsPopup.asp?Pr…

Check out our new paper lead by @SRosbakh , which explores global patterns of seed dormancy. 🧵👇

I'm not speaking at #ESA2023 but if I did I would talk about a recent paper (nature.com/articles/s4200…). If you are a mathematical ecologist or student interested in chatting about this & its applications, I'm available starting tomorrow, just send me a message.

New results (and hypotheses) on tropical tree seedling responses to soil-profile warming: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/bt… @Biotropica @stri_panama Warming decreased above-ground growth & photosynthesis especially in N-fixing tropical tree species.
