Although many ecosystems can weather several years of moderate drought, consecutive years of extreme dryness push them past a tipping point, resulting in dramatic declines in plant growth, researchers report in Science.
The findings reveal threats to Earth’s grasslands and shrublands as climate extremes intensify. https://t.co/gfy0ZgBUO0
Total dream opportunity = amazing and supportive team, totally kick ass research project, important work for emerging decisions, and all about carbon.💥
New Paper Out!🌵 In @ScienceAdvances we show that physical disturbance in drylands makes plant community production up to 5x more sensitive to precipitation variability. https://t.co/ODi8A89xjV #ecology#drylands
The loss of critical thinking that accompanies current trends in news feeds, entertainment, and lifestyle has endless consequences.

We (Global South) complained about lack of access to papers. Then, we were provided with an amazing solution. With OA, we can read any papers from rich-countries, we just cannot publish ours anymore.
We are now allowed at the meeting, as long as we don't talk. Higly inclusive!
If you're attending #ESA2023 and looking for an opportunity to chat with folks who are ready to share some career advice, come on by! We'll have food (with GF and vegetarian options) and good discussion!
Reminder: Interested in #restoration, traits and #globalchange? Apply for our 3-year postdoc opportunity in @DrylandLab! For full consideration, please apply by this Friday March 31!
New study ⬇️
#Treemortality is on the rise due to #climatechange.
#Earthobservation 🛰️ seem to be a promising tool to map dead trees cover over large areas. But there is not yet a large scale & fine-scaled product available since mapping dead trees is not that as easy...

Super excited to get this rolling! The idea is not only to communicate our results to non-english speakers, but also to incorporate their progress in our work. True collaboration and inclusion
The design team at @ScienceMagazine works with a vibrant, talented community of illustrators every week.
Here are a few of the illustrations from 2022 that stood out. ⬇️ https://t.co/C822pBqSpl
With so many global issues, it's easy to miss the good change in the world.

Catastrophic fires in the West are burning hotter than ever, leaving paths of destruction through both human development & native plant ecosystems. Using seed coating technology, BYU researchers are helping restore scorched landscapes. See how it can help break the fire cycle:
