Happy to see this landmark study for #EucFACE finally published. Led by @jiangminkai and Kristine Crous, we've completed one of the first full ecosystem phosphorus budgets ever done

@baizalla @DavidLapola Makes sense to me - increased WUE is not the only path for plants to respond to drought. But this increase is a common response in large elevated CO2 experiments: see Gardner et al 2023 New Phytologist 237(4): 1229-1241
Fieldwork on Mount Banks in the Blue Mountains. It is an exposed, windswept heathland on low-P sandstone until near the top where a surprise awaits: well- developed rainforest on basalt, with triple the leaf P concentration compared to adjacent plants on sandstone!
Today I’m exchanging this canopy near my home in the Blue Mountains in Australia for another! I’m heading to the [email protected] at Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden in China. Looking forward to talking canopy science for a week!
Final scientific presentations as we say goodbye to Alice from @ULBruxelles and Tielde from @fbwUGent, two very talented Masters students from 🇧🇪 working @westsyduhie and a legacy of my professorship with https://t.co/0dr2tNKR4t
The 1st official announcement of the 8th Canopy Conference (in person!!!) at Xishuangbanna, China! Please share with your network and colleagues! If you want to be in the loop, please email me at [email protected]
An exciting new paper finding tropical forest leaf and canopy temperatures might exceed their upper temperature limits more often than thought, particularly with warming. Can tropical trees adapt to warming, and how, are key Q’s. See
