08.11.2025 21:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0We are not looking at micro fungi but an interesting idea. We are finding that conifer litter is generally worse establishment habitat even for conifer seedlings compared to the other substrates.
07.11.2025 09:00 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Have you ever wondered if temperate🌳 & boreal🌲 tree seedlings🌱germinate & grow best in their own leaf litter, heterospecific litter, on moss, or on bare soil? If so stay tuned for more from Tee Atwater’s honors thesis experiment completed this Fall! @sunyesf.bsky.social @sunyofficial.bsky.social

Excellent talk today on abrupt vs. slow forest 🌳🌲 change by @nathankiel.bsky.social @sunyesf.bsky.social given @syracuseup.bsky.social biology seminar series. It was super interesting to think of forest change drivers spanning climate zones & disturbance regimes from Yellowstone to the US Northeast

Jenna comes from Binghamton University where she studied how plant diversity affects ecological functions in lawns for her honors thesis. She is now switching to study plant communities at temperate-boreal forest ecotones @sunyesf.bsky.social

I enjoyed hosting Dr. Juan Corley, Ecological Applications Editor-in-Chief @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social & learning about novel insect-tree interactions of non-native North American trees & European insects in Argentina. Thanks Juan for great talk @sunyesf.bsky.social @sunyofficial.bsky.social❗️🌐🌎

This is really cool. Will add to my Tropical Ecology class readings. Heliconia-humming bird relations are really interesting, particularly in the Caribbean!

11.09.2025 17:50 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yes. Forest is changing due to changing climate, which is a form of succession.
07.09.2025 11:37 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Nope. Treelines have been moving too (so me more, some less), but the upslope movement will be limited by rocky substrates and eventually the height of the mountains…
07.09.2025 03:34 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Some high-elevation conifers in our region appear to be migrating to higher, cooler elevations as the climate warms, but lower elevation temperate deciduous tree species are not. Our new study aims to explain some of the reasons why that may be the case.
