NEW RESEARCH Elevated CO2 interacts with nutrient inputs to restructure plant communities in phosphorus-limited grasslands 📄 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @Carbon_Chris95 @GarethPhoenix @fluxsoilsleaves @PPS_UoS @SoilEcolUoM @ECT_UK

Science is essential to understanding the climate crisis. But, in practice, how do scientists actually study the effects of climate change? We asked bioscientists @Carbon_Chris95 and @JasmineRoha to show us what it’s like to be a climate change researcher: youtube.com/watch?v=mmdSac…

Why can't we just pay landowners for 'producing' wildlife. So for example if you have a nesting curlew on your land you get £1000, a corncrake £5000, a newt £12 etc? Why don't we do that?

Check out our presentation at #vEGU21 this Friday 15:30 - 17:00 (CEST) - biogeoscience session BG3.25 I'll be discussing our research integrating empirical and modelled carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycling in our long-term grassland experiment

The blog of our @ECT_UK funded fieldwork season from happier times last year - looking at plant community response to CO2 and nutrient limitation. The data are already showing fascinating results so watch this space! @LukeEngland98 @fluxsoilsleaves @GarethPhoenix @ACCE_DTP

@EmilyMockford @SheffieldAPS You were a great tutor, good luck in you future career

Thankfully we finished our field season before being hammered by the British summertime... Thanks once again to the @ECT_UK for funding this work - I'm looking forward to getting stuck into our brand new #climatechange datasets @LukeEngland98 @GarethPhoenix @fluxsoilsleaves

We've been working hard behind the scenes and have some very exciting announcements to make in the next couple of weeks!! Watch this space and please continue to share ☺️ In the meantime, we thought it was about time we introduced ourselves!bio-diversefestival.org/about-us

We're approaching the halfway mark of our @ECT_UK funded fieldwork season and so far we've proven to be a real hit with the locals. #peakdistrict #ecology #phdchat

Looking forward to getting stuck into a season of (socially-distanced) fieldwork thanks to the @ECT We'll be looking at how grassland plant carbon and nitrogen content responds to elevated CO2 and nutrient manipulation With @GarethPhoenix @fluxsoilsleaves and Luke England
