Is the plasticity of Sphagnum moss soil hydraulic properties keeping you up at night? Hopefully you can finally get some (or possibly less) sleep after reading our new paper! https://t.co/nQKtTDn9VW

[Scotty Creek Research Station @ScottyResearch]

Community members, researchers, students, and all other Scotty Creekers are looking forward to the re-opening event next week!

[Colin McCarter @Colin_PRM]

I never thought my research would be featured on @CBCTheNational but here we are. A huge thank you to my co-lead author Dr. Sutton and co-author @peatofmind. I want to stress the need to develop strategies to prevent these systems from burning!
