@jiangmingkai sorry for the mistype

Happy to see this landmark study for #EucFACE finally published. Led by @jiangminkai and Kristine Crous, we've completed one of the first full ecosystem phosphorus budgets ever done nature.com/articles/s4158…

@lu_falves Sad, silly and short-sighted decision at Duke

@baizalla @DavidLapola Makes sense to me - increased WUE is not the only path for plants to respond to drought. But this increase is a common response in large elevated CO2 experiments: see Gardner et al 2023 New Phytologist 237(4): 1229-1241

@DavidLapola I saw that WUE increased by 78% due to eCo2 but conclusion was the forest migh be less resistant to drought . Isnt this increase in WUE add something to resilience? Just a curiosity!

@DavidLapola Parabéns a todos, a good read!

@Kate_J_Fuller @Rachael_H_Nolan @fireecology Excellent recognition, Rachael. Well done

Rachael just received the AFE 2023 Early Career Award for her many outstanding contributions to fire science. No one is more deserving of such an honour! Congratulations @Rachael_H_Nolan! #FireCon2023 @fireecology

@b_medlyn Could have used the help with 30kg of equipment & batteries

@ausellsworth If you are there tomorrow we might see you - bringing the modelling team up for a visit!

Fieldwork on Mount Banks in the Blue Mountains. It is an exposed, windswept heathland on low-P sandstone until near the top where a surprise awaits: well- developed rainforest on basalt, with triple the leaf P concentration compared to adjacent plants on sandstone!

It is very, very dry here #EucFACE and the shrubs know it. Hope we see rain soon

Today I’m exchanging this canopy near my home in the Blue Mountains in Australia for another! I’m heading to the canopy8th@casconf.cn at Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden in China. Looking forward to talking canopy science for a week!

Final scientific presentations as we say goodbye to Alice from @ULBruxelles and Tielde from @fbwUGent, two very talented Masters students from 🇧🇪 working @westsyduhie and a legacy of my professorship with francquifoundation.be

The 1st official announcement of the 8th Canopy Conference (in person!!!) at Xishuangbanna, China! Please share with your network and colleagues! If you want to be in the loop, please email me at canopy@xtbg.ac.cn

@FungiDownUnder Welcome

Celebrating Australian Citizenship Day the best way possible - by receiving one of these certificates together with my family! Such a privilege to call this amazing country home 😁

@NewPhyt @castretis @SMatesanz @stan_harpole @HaiderSylvia A good read

Within-individual leaf trait variation increases with phenotypic integration in a subtropical tree diversity experiment Castro Sánchez-Bermejo et al. @castretis @SMatesanz @stan_harpole @HaiderSylvia 📖 ow.ly/8SF150PLUJb

@b_medlyn I thought that you wouldn’t include this paper in journal club- I thought the rule was no HIE authors! Kristine contributed to this one.

An exciting new paper finding tropical forest leaf and canopy temperatures might exceed their upper temperature limits more often than thought, particularly with warming. Can tropical trees adapt to warming, and how, are key Q’s. See nature.com/articles/s4158…

@ShoalsMarineLab That would have been me 40 years ago. Well done shoalers!

After a successful symposium last weekend, we said goodbye to our undergraduate researchers this past Monday. They spent weeks this summer researching seals, lobster, fisheries, the intertidal, and more. Our community couldn't have been prouder of them. The island will miss them.
