New Forests & Trees Lab

The ecology and functions of forests and trees in human-modified landscapes, based @YaleNUS with work in Singapore, Panama, and beyond.

Using data from secondary forest research in Panama and a ‘joint species distribution’ modelling, we examined how life history variation among tropical tree species emerges from environment-dependent trait–demography relationships. https://t.co/xAmZZGwPDy

One of the rarest Pines on the planet- Huon Pine (Lagarostrobus franklinii) Restricted to western Tasmania it survived the breakup of Gondwana 80m yrs ago thanks to Tasmania’s climate. One individual has been dated at 10,000 yrs old. This one is around 1,500yrs young. #Tasmania

Last day of major #fieldwork campaign + no electronics ruined (rare). Today was a good day. #mangrove #ecology

Sneak peek at #mangrove vessel traits analysis. Major differences with terrestrial species make for more challenging prep and analysis. For one, much more brittle! #botany #ecology #plantphysiology #planttraits

What does trait-based competition for resources look like in plant communities? We use process-based models, where individuals compete for explicit resources, to study the emergent shapes of so-called competition functions! These don't look like the commonly used shapes!

Was fun to work on this new video by our friends at @nparksbuzz showing some of the great ecosystem services of Singapore's mangroves! https://t.co/u1qZ4uaIyI @NUSgeog @NatCapSG @NUSCNCS @MangroveProject @Mangroves #mangrovesareawesome

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence.

Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

[Dr. Natalie Wright @coereba]

I had no idea how much of being a PI was just buying equipment for your students to use for cool research, which you get to hear about while chained to your desk ordering more research supplies.

[Kevin Ringelman @KevinRingelman]

Perhaps the question, "do you have any prescribed fires planned?" was not clear in some way.

[Sigit Sasmito @sdsasmito]

New #BlueCarbon study out now @SciReports — we report emissions factor from 25 years mangrove forest management. Find out more: https://t.co/DEGewqQkoH

[Caitlin Hicks Pries @Carbon_Cait]

I had my students grade their own final projects and reading their evaluations is honestly a heartwrenching window into internalized gender norms (1/n)

[Tzeporah Berman @Tzeporah]

Pls @jjhorgan @KatrineConroy just....please act now. This should be illegal. I saw stumps of 1000 year old trees @SaveFairyCreek flagging tape on 2000 year old yellow cedars. It’s like destroying Pantheon or the Sistine Chapel to make a buck. Enough already. #oldgrowth #bcpoli

[Dave Moore @DJPMoore]

Trying to reestablish some order on my twitter feed.

Do we have a list of folks who regularly tweet about plant Phys / ecophys ?

[STARS Lab at U @suhas_prameela]

Early career researchers (PhDs, Postdocs, others): Take people along. Give credit to young mentees, collaborators, undergrads, & those who help you make progress. Research should be about collaboration, not competition: Authorship, shoutouts at talks, recommending opportunities.

Enjoying #mangrove #fieldwork while we still can as Singapore heads back into tighter COVID restrictions.

Lithops is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family, Aizoaceae. They are native to southern Africa.

A man named Pedro Martin Ureta planted a guitar-shaped forest of 7,000 trees, and more than 1km in length, in memory of his wife who loved music.

Scyphiphora hydrophylacea is locally uncommon but it is the origin of "Manila", Philippines (from its Tagalog name, "nilad") as it once dominated the coastline there! Awesome example of the long history of #mangroves and people. #ethnobotany #ecology #plants
