Investigating the accuracy of tropical woody stem CO2 efflux estimates: scaling methods, and vertical and diel variation Stem CO2 efflux (EA) significantly contributes to autotrophic and ecosystem respiration in tropical forests, but field methodologies often introduce biases and uncertainty. This study evaluates thes...

I had a lot of fun executing this field campaign and I am very pleased to have the final paper from my PhD published. Thank you to my wonderful collaborators for your support along the way @ymalhi.bsky.social @shenkin.bsky.social @matdisney.bsky.social @kungphil.bsky.social

The influence of 3D canopy structure on modelled photosynthesis Vegetation is one of the largest terrestrial sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide, driven by the balance between photosynthesis and respiration. Unders…

New Open Access paper from the NERC SPLICE project, which examines how modelled predictions of photosynthesis change as the 3D description of the canopy becomes more complex. Led by Meg Stretton, with @kungphil.bsky.social and @matdisney.bsky.social.
