”The more the trees struggled with pine twisting rust, the more Diplodia we found in the shoots over the summer”, says Matilda Stein Åslund.

There is likely a genetic component to this that can be used in pine breeding.

Do plant-soil feedbacks occur *within* species in tropical forests? Our field experiment in Panama shows that whether a seedling grows near its maternal tree or another conspecific tree isn't the deciding factor for its survival. #AJB 1/6

I could not recommend this job more. Autonomy, networking, the possibility to travel around the tropics, and most importantly, a great collaborative and supportive team!

So many great fungal finds in the cloud forests of Machu Picchu ✨

[Evan Gora @GoraEvan]

We are recruiting an intern ($1,250 monthly plus travel) to work in Panamanian forests with an exciting team of ecologists and biogeochemists studying how different agents of disturbance (⚡️💨) influence forest recovery and nutrient cycling. Review of applications begins Feb. 1

Firstly, just wanna thank the committee of @southmycorrhiza for organising this great event. I have learnt a lot from mycorrhiza and plant sex @capadorr to restoration @chavarroluisaf. The presentations were diverse and informative.

New results (and hypotheses) on tropical tree seedling responses to soil-profile warming: https://t.co/QrSthXycS1
@Biotropica @stri_panama
Warming decreased above-ground growth & photosynthesis especially in N-fixing tropical tree species.

Yet another example of devastating plant pathogens: in the 1800s a disease wiped out Nutmeg plantations im Singapore. Apparently no one is quite sure what the causal agent was: https://t.co/2OMaxjpLkl

[Hernán D. Capador-Barreto, PhD @capadorr]

Thanks @NewPhyt & @NUSingapore for such a good meeting! Exciting program, all plants, from molecules to ecosystems! I’m grateful for the opportunity to attend and excited to meet so many early career researchers. The future of plant science is bright! #npnextgen

[Jiajun Ngiam (JJ) @ngiamjiajun]

Super interesting preview of @capadorr ‘s work on looking at the contribution of fungal pathogens in explaining conspecific negative density dependence in BCI #NPnextgen

[Hernán D. Capador-Barreto, PhD @capadorr]

@JSperschneider Thanks for the shot, Jana!

[Qiao Wen @tqiaowen]

Interesting talk by Hernán @capadorr on how microorganisms are affecting the germination of seeds of V. nobilis and consequently their distribution

[Jana Sperschneider @JSperschneider]

Great talk by @capadorr on how a community of fungal pathogens affect seedling survival in tropical trees. Plus some beautiful pictures of Panama! #npnextgen

⚡⚡Lianas amplify the severity of lightning strikes⚡⚡Just out in @NewPhyt - we show that lianas (woody vines) act like live wires - they electrically connect trees and cause lightning strikes damage and kill more trees in forest patches with more lianas https://t.co/3FYGiL1IrL
