PSInet

A global network to advance understanding of ecosystem water status and flows though the lens of soil and plant water potential.

Thrilled to share our paper in @NewPhyt: "Spectral ecophysiology: hyperspectral pressure–volume curves to estimate leaf turgor loss", led by @Castillo_RaizaJ, w/ @ProfZare, @gracepjohn, @Gerard_Sapes, Alston Lippert, & Nicole Mallen! #SpectralEcophysiology https://t.co/lvTGILe9GU

@MarylouMantova and I are excited to announce the 2024 GRS on ‘Plant Resilience to Stress’ for ECRS! Apply now to this and the following Gordon Conference for a whole week immersed in plant vascular biology: https://t.co/vHxp7c5zim Hope to see you there! 🍃 @GordonConf (1/2)

[José M. Torres-Ruiz @torresruizjm]

Deepening our understanding of plant water transport is crucial to deciphering their resilience to environmental stress factors such as:
#drought 🌞
#fire 🔥
#diseases 🪲

And our jam-packed poster session in the afternoon! https://t.co/hk1TlWlmKs (poster numbers 2645 -2665)!

[PSInet @PSInet_RCN]

We are excited for the #PSInet sponsored AGU sessions on ecosystem hydraulics happening tomorrow! See you bright and early for the oral session (w/Matheny, Anderegg, Boroski, Peters, Carminati, Pashalis, Konings, and Anderegg). 8:30 - 10:00 am. MW3008.

Putting tensiometers to the test! New #PSInet blog post from Ruth Magh (@ruth_magh) who took some Florapulse sensors for a spin!

PSInet is co-sponsoring a mixer with the FLUXNET community at AGU! It will happen on Monday, December 11th from 6-9 pm at the SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco.

Should be a good time!

🌿📢 Abstract call for #EGU24 is open! We're convening a session on plant and soil water status across scales, from empirical to modelling and remote sensing approaches.

You can submit your abstract here: https://t.co/wTNiwTePl5

Angiosperm stomata do not respond continuously to rising VPD but often start to close only once a threshold VPD is crossed. We found that this is linked to the triggering of abscisic acid biosynthesis at the threshold VPD, which then closes the stomata https://t.co/bajRWKEFpc

Water Potential 101 at #PhysFest4 in the beautiful Sevilleta.

[PSInet @PSInet_RCN]

New blog post on the #PSInet website! @GiardinaFra wakes up before dawn and gets to the bottom of how ET responds to water deficits (using deep learning). https://t.co/QZSSDL6M4y

On the pivotal role of water potential to model plant physiological processes https://t.co/fryqDjnI6U

[Sung Ching (Nick) Lee @sclee_micromet]

We have Alex @PSInet_RCN visiting us to have exchanges on soil water potential and eco-atmos fluxes, with our annual department retreat @MPI_BGC

[PSInet @PSInet_RCN]

Reminder! Application deadline for Phys-Fest 4 in the beautiful Sevilleta is this week!

[Brent Helliker @BHelliker]

EcoPhysiologists Unite! Phys-Fest 4 is happening this October at the Sevilleta. Apply by August 31st. https://t.co/wAWRQjHxA5

[Beni Stocker @SteniBocker]

This new paper by @GiardinaFra shows that the sensitivity of evapotranspiration to water deficits varies massively across #FLUXNET sites.
The next big question: How can we know this sensitivity across the globe and across the landscape? It's key for drought impact predictions...

[PSInet @PSInet_RCN]

A great opportunity for early career ecophysiologists!!

Finally, if you are at the @ESA_org meeting in Portland, consider attending this talk on Wednesday afternoon which will present the rationale and goals of PSInet. 2:30 pm, room 256. https://t.co/zghIIBPWP4 6/6

[PSInet @PSInet_RCN]

PSInet will be a network of data, but also a network of people. We will sponsor a wide range of early career training activities, virtual and in-person workshops, conference sessions, webinars, etc. Keep an eye on our events page. https://t.co/NP9a0DI0su

[PSInet @PSInet_RCN]

Beyond submitting data, there are lots of ways to stay in touch and get involved. Have a look here! https://t.co/HgbbneeBRw 5/6

[PSInet @PSInet_RCN]

PSInet will also promote community-developed best practices for continuous, in-situ plant and soil water potential monitoring. If you make these measurements in your field sites, we’d love to hear from you. Our DMs are open! 3/6

[PSInet @PSInet_RCN]

PSInet is open! This new @NSF -funded Research Coordination Network aims to vastly increase the accessibility of information about soil and plant water potential, emphasizing data collected in ecohydrological and ecological field settings. 1/6
