The term 'growing season' is widely used in ecological research, but lacks a well-defined concept. Here our attempt to identify the different facets of what people may call a growing season @Ecology_Letters:

@vera_margAlp @uniinnsbruck @KewScience Congratulations!! 🥳

[Gesche Blume-Werry @gescheBW]

@GRocherRos @AIL_limnologia You badass!

@VVandvik @LoraxCate Also, students often do not take into account that the literature they have to read will be primarily in English. A few of my students have regretted not writing in English in the end, because they did not realize how much they will have to translate into their own language.

[Prof. Vigdis Vandvik @VVandvik]

@LoraxCate First: writing in first language and then translating is a really bad idea! As a English-as-second language scientist myself, and as a supervisor if *many* in the same situation, I have thoughts and experiences to share… A🧵

I have said this often, but it is worth repeating: Even if a (very) few plants DO grow better in a peat-based compost that does not justify peat extraction. A (very) small loss of quality in a garden does not EVER justify peat use.
