I’m thrilled to finally share this work in full.

We looked at how vascular plants rearranged their xylem to overcome size constraints and spread on dry land with @brodersen_lab @KyraPrats @HuggettLab @WasonLab @Medullosa

Greening in the arid Western #Himalaya isn't just about warming 🌡️. Using two decades of 🛰️ #Landsat NDVI data, we found precipitation 🌧️🌨️ and CO2 fertilization, not temperature, drives spectral greening across elevations in #Ladakh.

If you're at #EGU25 this week and interested in #recovery after #drought check out Qi Liu's presentation on Wednesday at 16:15 in BG3.10.

He will be discussing evidence that transpiration at our beech site was limited by a lack of #xylem following the 2018-19 European drought.

We know surprisingly little about seedling wood anatomy and how it shapes seedling ecology. In this paper we explored the interplay between seedling wood anatomical trade-offs, drought and demography in four dry forests of Colombia. Happy to work with such a great team 🌿💦🔬 🌿

How can global warming increase both droughts and extreme rainfall?
'Climate skeptics' often raise this question.
Here it is explained by Science Feedback, a worldwide network of scientists sorting fact from fiction.

Tree drought–mortality risk depends more on intrinsic species resistance than on stand species diversity
