Do you study carbon reserves in trees or woody plants? New special issue at #TreePhysiology on role of C reserves in allocation, remobilization, storage, influence on plant growth, stress response, metabolism, etc.

@AR_Castilla Congratulations!

Has AMOC run amok? Yikes!

New Danish study just out in Nature Communications, titled "Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation".
Is it serious? Here's my take on it: https://t.co/aN3CYwQ0PI

New paper:
The living piñon🌲in this photo (left) has tolerated drought treatment for 13 years (!).

While a reasonable question is "why would you do this to that poor tree?"

We asked: "how is this tree still alive?" Old reserves may be one answer.

@JoeBuckInNature @wmhammond Excellent name! A place that will Trap all the tools in one place.

What are the main takeaways?

1. Growth doesn’t always stop before photosynthesis
2. NSC does not increase when growth is limited by drought
3. Growth and photosynthesis are independent processes both regulated by water availability.

[Dr. Alex Thompson @ecofiz1]

Do we also see this disconnect in our data? I used a PCA to project the full dataset onto a linear sub space. Basically, if the angle between photosynthesis and growth is 0, that would imply perfect correlation! As the angle approaches 90 degrees, the vectors are independent.

[Henry Adams @EnvEcoLab]

Congratulations to @ecofiz1 on publication of 1st PhD chapter in Nature Communications! Levels of knowledge: 1) photosynthesis drives growth, 2)environment limits growth > photosynthesis, 3) both growth and photosynthesis are co-limited. We go to #3! https://t.co/jsq7gGoev8

News coverage of our in-review work on timing and causes of western redcedar dieback. If only reviewers would take as much interest in the paper as the press is - maybe we could get it published! @ArjanMeddens @lrpoutside @CinquiniTrees & others

I asked ChatGPT about #whatkillstrees. It did pretty well. Clearly its plugged into the literature. The future is wild and a bit frightening....and should I by thinking more about ROS in my work?

@RaquelFeltrin You should know, it's one you made! From your ponderosa study, Ines is counting ducts post-fire

That's no moon.

Oh Snap!

[Justine Karst 🇨🇦 @karst_justine]

How popular claims about common mycorrhizal networks in forests are disconnected from evidence. Thx to M. Jones & J. Hoeksema @jhooooks for their friendship, brilliance, and integrity. I would not have had the courage to tackle this issue without them. https://t.co/ZmCAAn6Rka

@SeanMichaletz @santiago_ecofiz Sean, its the famous PINK book, by Pearcy et al. https://t.co/uddPbn2xaU

[Henry Adams @EnvEcoLab]

@jhooooks Did the paper you refer to come out yet?

[Henry Adams @EnvEcoLab]

@pyroecophys Unite the clans @pyroecophys, Unite us!

[Henry Adams @EnvEcoLab]

When I hear back on submitted proposals, especially from NSF, I expect to be rejected. I am surprised when they are funded. Today I was not surprised.
So that panel better not be surprised to see that proposal again in a few months!

@karst_justine @EFrost_Wildwood @jhooooks Thanks for highlighting this. Gonna use this article and thread in my class this spring. My undergrads love to criticize the pseudoscience on this issue in discussions.

[Henry Adams @EnvEcoLab]

@jhooooks Time to pile on. "To her, the lush, multilayered understory is proof of a thriving community, where a variety of species ensures that every wavelength of light is put to good use"

Remember folks, 99% of incoming PAR doesn't get fixed by plants!

@jgerardhodge @wmhammond Can we get a laser to cut off the excessive hashtags?
