Two important updates for our session: 1) wonderful "vegetation response examples" (Background images) updated by Camille Abadie and 2) wonderful keynote speaker in our session: Arthur Gessler @arthurobuntspecht.bsky.social . Very looking forward 😃🎊🥂: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

I'm hiring! 2+2 year postdoc position on forecasting plant defence and resilience to pathogens. Why are some plants better at defending themselves and can we model it? What role does the environment play? And how can we use all the data we have? Deadline 13/01. plantecomodelling.org/vacancies 🧪🌏🌾

🌿NEW PAPER 🌍... doi.org/10.1111/gcb..... how nutrient availability change a mediterranean 'savannoid' ecosystem - different nutrient paths to the same C cycling. Extra N is making these systems better C sinks, but long term drying and warming trend means C losses in the long term

We really need slack in our carbon budget and we aren't even following our wildly optimistic carbon budget

I agree with the issues with the visualisation of effects in the 'classic' bounduary graphic. But the concept is so embedded in teaching now I'm worried about switching and confusing students

Here's me at #IUFRO2024 , talking about a topic dear to my heart - forest canopy nitrogen uptake, how trees in the anthropocene may cheat N competition with microbes by taking up N from deposition over the canopy- thanks to a dissemination grant from the CLEANFOREST cost action

In which BBC Wales neatly encapsulates our national media's inability to respond appropriately to the most significant social movement of this generation, replete with three completely worthless rage quotes from anonymous social media users.

any recommendations for a citation manager that integrates well without lag in google docs with lots of references? i use zotero offline but its becoming unusable in collaborative documents because of the wait every time i need to fix a citation

something unclear to me about academia - if your office is full of books - are you buying them out of research grants? your own money? textbooks are expensive and it doesnt feel like its a brilliant investment on either

Bluesky is nice and all, especially in a -this-is-not-twitter sense but some bits still confused me. Like why is the cog icon in the app both for settings (as expected) and your feeds (something that I found once and struggled to find again until I was looking for settings!)

This report is so egregious. It’s also wrong. We can stay well below 2°C AND improve quality of life (for all but super wealthy) if we destroy the power, funding, & legitimacy of the fossil fuel industry so we can transition our energy without all this bullshit. Let’s do that t.co/GqKHpUdeSC

I broadly use my semi-professional social media to post stuff that interests me and I care about and for sure the main output of this sometimes frustrating, anti social, somewhat poorly renumerated and unstable job is that

Two new analyses highlight the staggering increases - yes, you read that right, INCREASES - in fossil fuel subsidies: at the same time as most oil and gas majors have recorded record high profits. Taxpayer-funded support now tops $7T per year or $13M per minute. www.iisd.org/publications...
