Biological systems, especially plants and ecosystems, all scales

Ten years after our first discovery of the blue ring in conifers (@alancrivellaro), we now show that poplar trees also produce less lignified rings! Could hormones be the trigger? Read more! https://t.co/EpL4l0EAbt

'Water greedy' plants grow quicker and take up water faster after fire.

Study into global wildfires and ecosystem water cycling shows for the first time the large-scale effects of fire on plant and soil water dynamics.

Many congratulations Dr Che Liu on the successful defence of your PhD thesis: 'Whole-tree Lagrangian optimal stomata model and its application to predicting cambial growth of tree stem'! Use the sword of truth wisely! @AgriForHelsinki @b_medlyn

Article: Fire affects the hydrological interactions between soil and vegetation, leading to faster soil moisture loss and accelerated vegetation water uptake

@MartinJBaur @eco_pelle

[Adam Pellegrini @eco_pelle]

Fire increases soil moisture losses but accelerates vegetation water uptake—and leaves ecosystems containing plants with less control of their water content. Great global analysis using remote sensing data and led by PhD student @MartinJBaur

Declining planetary albedo is contributing hugely to the acceleration of global warming, but why is the planet getting darker? This new PhD studentship, with Mark Williamson and me, sets out to answer that vital question. Please retweet.

Professional skateboarding exploded in popularity in 1970s California, but it was no coincidence 🛹

A study from @CamUniGeography says that a 'perfect storm' of many factors meant that #skateboarding could have only arisen at that place and time 👇
