Are tropical #forests keeping up with climate change? Not quite, it turns out. In study led by @jeaggu.bsky.social in @science.org, we used a massive plot dataset from across Americas to check whether tree characteristics are tracking #climatechange. They hardly do. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

West-east gradient across Amazonia in fast-slow life history strategies of forests beautifully illustrated by new ATDN paper; forests are 'fast' in the west and 'slow' in the northeast of Amazonia doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Great #postdoc opportunities for ecological research 🌳🐝🧪🦠🌍 @creaf.cat based near Barcelona in a vibrant and friendly research centre. 📣'ERC recruitment program' for people planning to apply for @erc.europa.eu Starting or Consolidator grants: creaf.factorialhr.com/job_posting/... [1/2]

Are you attending #EGU25? Then why not try pitching your research to a panel of policymakers & #Science4Policy experts? This panel will then give you feedback on how to improve & engage with the policy community! To participate, you can submit your research topic here👇 www.egu.eu/forms/Pitchi...

Are you a postdoc interested in soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning? Have you applied for a MSCA in the 2023 or 2024 call and obtained a high (>85%) score? Josep Peñuelas and I are open to endorse applicants to these postdoc positions @creaf.cat creaf.factorialhr.com/job_posting/...

We are happy to share the new research findings on below-ground root trait dynamics, led by TropiRoot members: Oscar Valverde‐Barrantes, @laylugli.bsky.social @loutsi.bsky.social @kmander7.bsky.social @kaaze7.bsky.social besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... #fineroots #tropiroots

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

📢📢TropiRoot has transitioned to a new leadership team for next two years and is gearing up for exciting projects ahead! We’re expanding our outreach efforts and networking. If you’re a tropical root researcher, interested in synthesizing and mobilizing your data, we’d love to connect with you!

Great leadership meeting with @tropiroot.bsky.social this morning! Reach out if you are a tropical root researcher interested in synthesizing and mobilizing your data with us!

And academia confirms once again that when white men fall, they fall upwards.

Check this piece on BBC Future where I talk a bit about how large-scale experiments, like AmazonFACE, can transport forests into the future, so we can capture a glimpse (before it's too late) of what would happen with climate change www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Abstract submission to @eurogeosciences.bsky.social 2025 ending on January 15th. We are hoping for a great session on tropical forests this year!

For #EGU25 consider submitting your abstract to our session "Tropical forests in transition - ecosystems of global significance". We are looking forward to bringing together what we know about tropical forests and climate change 🌳🌎 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

Did you always want to know how tropical forest roots respond to N and P additions? Find out now!!! doi.org/10.1111/oik.... Congratulations to Laynara Lugli for leading this great effort and to all the team for their support (including washing huge amounts of roots!!!) 😎
