New Science paper by Ohlert et al with a rainfall-exclusion experiment at 74 sites over the globe shows extreme droughts caused high productivity declines and low recovery, especially in drier locations with low plant diversity. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper on trait diversity indices is out now in PLOS ONE! Great paper to share with the trait nerd in your life. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… @MeghanAvolio @drcynthiacchang @phylofeast @ge54783 @hobbie_sarah @drkimkomatsu

Our new paper on production in Sonoran Desert annual communities. Check it out! link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Our lab is looking for PhD students to join our team @bio_uncg! Please get in touch if you're interested in plant communities, plant-insect, or legume-rhizobia interactions. You can learn more about our current work here: communitydynamicslab.com Please retweet!

Productive and fun #DroughtNet discussions this week at @ucsb_nceas. Finally taking a close look at the multi-year drought data received (so far) from more than eighty sites around the world. Great support from @USLTER and @LTER_Net_Office.

Check out this science update on the @USLTER website about amphibians in urban ponds featuring @SauerScientist lternet.edu/stories/urban-… #SciComm #UrbanEcology

Our paper on uncertainty in lichen critical loads is out in Ecosystems! I worked on this as part of my NSF INTERN fellowship with Air Program at the US Forest Service, but Rob Smith brought it home link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Across 100 sites globally, @DroughtNet found that extreme drought cut grassland production much more than might have been suspected. Science Magazine covered the group's first-year results presented at #ESA2022 by @CubanKate! Very relevant today. science.org/content/articl…

Latest from @NutNetGlobal we found plant diversity responses to grazing depend on evolutionary exposure to grazing in grasslands around the world @SittersJudith @Tim_Ohlert @pedrot77 @e_seabloom @e_borer @SuzanneProber @AMacD_UGuelph @lars_brudvig nature.com/articles/s4155…

This week we are hosting an @USLTER #SynthesisScience working group investigating the effects of extreme drought on terrestrial ecosystems around the world! 💧 They will be using experimental data from over 100 locations, including 8 LTER sites. #DataScienceDay2022

@PeterScogings O.R. Tambo. I can confirm there are at least two good bars there!

Dissertation submitted to my committee from the Johannesburg airport. A celebratory Dom Pedro following field work in South Africa. It's been a journey, but honestly a lot of fun.

I bought this bike two years ago. Since then, I’ve put more miles on it than my car. Looking forward to some upgrades this spring. Happy two years, buddy!

If you like community ecology half as much as I do, you will love this article about @MeghanAvolio's recent paper in @Ecology_Letters lternet.edu/stories/in-sea…

Happy Holidays from the Ecosystem Conservation lab!
