The diversity of parasitic soil protists is positively correlated with ecosystem productivity stability in arid and cold zones—as measured by remote sensing of greenness. The protists may regulate herbivory and nutrient cycling. In PNAS: https://t.co/yxxjVlVyXA
🌳 Oaks keep photosynthesizing long after they stop growing
New research shows that C uptake and woody growth are often decoupled, raising questions about how much C forests may store in a warmer future

Check out our new paper published @RSocPublishing. We found N enrichment weakens each phase of the process of post-dispersal seeds, seed dispersal and recruitment limitation explain the alpine meadow species diversity loss due to nitrogen enrichment https://t.co/YDHeXviy91
Excited to share our new paper published @JEcology . We found warming advanced leaf senescence in alpine meadow plants on the Tibetan Plateau through advancing leaf emergence and increasing soil drought. https://t.co/4wGhro4DOo
🍃In a 5-year grassland experiment with >2,000 leaf trait measurements, authors show that fast-growing species destabilize productivity and that trait differences drive species asynchrony in ways that change with species richness 👉️ https://t.co/2o9BbzBxBL
Global Change Biology | Environmental Change Journal | Wiley Online Library https://t.co/DbXzKOYEbo Huge congratulations to Dr. Zixin Chen for this exciting work on terrestrial phosphorus cycling. Many thanks to all of the coauthors for their strong supports.
Finally! Here is our perspective on why cooperation maximizes diversity and how it promotes additional coexistence mechanisms that do not occur under competition.https://t.co/dqivls7O2i This is a hard topic with strong opinions....Thanks to @ASNAmNat for publishing it!
Thermophilisation of plant communities in response to #CC is 5× faster on alpine summits than in forests or grasslands across 🇪🇺
This corroborates former findings on the greater likelihood for upslope than poleward range shifts of plants 🌳🌲☘️🌾🪻🌼

Application review will start on March 20.
Excited to share that I will be joining @HKUSBS as an Assistant Professor in July 2026!
I am launching the Soil Ecology and Environmental Dynamics (SEED) Lab (https://t.co/LFXlyeQHxO), focusing on #soil carbon cycling.
Looking forward to new collaborations! 🌱
Check out our new paper published @ESAEcology. This study provides evidence and a mechanism for showing that spatial pattern formation drives resilience in real-world ecosystems - in the alpine marshes on the Tibetan Plateau. https://t.co/FzvYOftXOJ
I am honored to be involved in this work, which is a beautiful piece of research from the lab on biodiversity and ecosystem function in the context of global change!
Excited to share our new paper in Ecology Letters!
Using microcosm phytoplankton communities, we show that biodiversity buffers ecosystem functioning under nanoparticle pollution.
Grateful to my supervisor Dr. Lin Jiang and co-authors @PuYan17s

Interested in working on the theory of and concepts behind multiple factor impacts on ecological systems and beyond?
Please send expressions of interest. Starting Jan 2026, I would be interested in awarding up to three postdoctoral fellowships on this topic (12 months; 2,5K €)
