Contrasting pathways to tree longevity in gymnosperms and angiosperms - Nature Communications Tree longevity is thought to increase in harsh environments, but global evidence of drivers is lacking. Here, the authors find two different pathways for tree longevity: slow growth in resource limite...

Led by Roel Brienen, our paper in @natcomms.nature.com "Contrasting pathways to tree longevity in gymnosperms and angiosperms" is finally out and formatted.

Other bluesky folks contributing to the paper were @yellowbuckeye.bsky.social and @rmtrr.bsky.social

Physiological Traits for Climate‐Ready Restoration Plant physiological traits can offer key insights into plant performance under climate change, calling for their increased use to inform restoration via species selection and monitoring. Increased co...

New paper - Physiological Traits for Climate‐Ready Restoration

We argue expanded trait coverage will enhance species selection and performance monitoring, improving restoration and species stabilization in a changing climate.

High‐temperature acclimation of photosystem II in land plants The effect of high temperature on plant performance and survival is a topic of great interest given the ongoing rise in global heatwave frequency, duration, and intensity. The temperature at which ph...

Legend says the ancient Babylonians once tried to sequence and annotate God's own genome, and for their ambition and hubris they were forever cursed to have different annotation formats and standards so they could never do genomics with ease again.

As I wrap up my PhD this year, I'm also beginning the search for postdoc opportunities so keep me in mind

Poster printed and set for #AGU2024 🌱 Catch me Thursday afternoon at the Forest Ecophysiology Poster Session (B43C) from 1:40pm to 5:30pm

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary
