Our team is hiring a postdoc to work on a NASA-supported project titled: “Globally-Derived Measures of Structure Informed by Ecological Theory and Observations”. A partnership with @NEON_sci's Keith Krause. The job announcement is here: https://t.co/fp2ZHul6C7.

Massive status bias in peer review.

534 reviewers randomized to review the same paper revealing the low status, high status, or neither author. 65% reject low status, 23% reject high status.

Amazing work by Juergen Huber and colleagues. #prc9

Beat me to it! I'm recruiting PhD students to start fall 2023 or spring 2024. See the link for more info, and please reach out to me if you're interested!

How (and why) does lidar-derived canopy structure relate to forest soil respiration? @LauraJHickey's MS thesis published today in @STOTEN_journal has some thoughts: https://t.co/nrmy4tc916. @NSF supported, @UMBS and @VCUresearch .

@BenBondLamberty @krdorheim @ecoclimatelab I’ve not, but have you reached out to your PO? Mine, I’ve found, are super helpful and understanding.

How does disturbance affect the temporal dynamics of forest structural complexity? Read our synthesis of @UMBS disturbance studies to find out: https://t.co/ikJzhhra2Q. w/@BenBondLamberty @bobbyfahey79 @hardimanFUSElab @JasonTallant1, @VCUresearch

How can we infer the effects of partial defoliation on the C cycle from forest structure? We don’t have all the answers, but offer some ideas in this ERL perspective, in print today w/@onetreetwotrees @BenBondLamberty @JasonTallant1: https://t.co/XekIMCms4Z. @UMBS @VCUresearch

Now online! 🎉 "Climate drives modeled forest carbon cycling resistance and resilience in the Upper Great Lakes Region, USA" - great #FoRTExperiment analysis led by my colleague @krdorheim w/ @Gough_Lab @ashiklom711 @LisaTHaber @KaylaMathes1 https://t.co/08yATqjtBg

[Ben Bond-Lamberty @BenBondLamberty]

Also accepted in the last week: "Inferring the effects of partial defoliation on the carbon cycle from forest structure: challenges and opportunities", an ERL Pespective led by @Gough_Lab w/ @onetreetwotrees & Jason Tallant. Hurray!

Thanks to all that tuned in! This project has been really fun to work on. Big thanks to @BenBondLamberty @Gough_Lab @LisaTHaber @KaylaMathes1 and @ashiklom711 for all their incredible work to be published in @JGRBiogeo January 2022!

[Ben Bond-Lamberty @BenBondLamberty]

How can we robustly interpret, synthesize, and forecast ecosystems' responses to rising global disturbances? In her first 🎉 first-author paper @KaylaMathes1 argues that this challenge requires a multidimensional framework: https://t.co/XqDLchG0kU
