Great to see the impressive setup at @BIFoRUoB’s FACE facility where they are studying the long term effects of elevated CO2 on forest ecosystems.

Had a great time today @BIFoRUoB listening to some fabulous talks from some fabulous people! 🌳👨‍🔬🔬👩‍🔬🌳

Especially @griffiths_ar talking about a potential new form of #oakdecline

#BIFoRCom20

[Andy Griffiths @griffiths_ar]

Excellent talk from @Beth_Pettifor today at #BIFoRCom20 presenting her recently published work on the survival of Acute Oak Decline bacteria in rain water and forest soil @BIFoRUoB @ActionOak

[Andy Griffiths @griffiths_ar]

Excellent free tool to check your calculations in the lab.

Plant scientist by training learning how to program: I wanted a molarity calculator app that had a built in MW chemical list to save time so (after lots of googling) check out Lab Mate free on the iOS App Store #openscience https://t.co/CAUEHRkWH7

@jamesemcdonald Thanks James, it would be interesting to compare the microbial communities between leaves and/or roots on our site, particularly with the impact of drought stress there. Hands are currently full with stem lesions though of course 😆

[MMEG2025 @mmeg2024]

Now, Andrew Griffiths talking about a potential new bark canker disease in young oaks, which is strikingly similar to examples from America and Europe #mmeg2019

[Andy Griffiths @griffiths_ar]

Excellent opportunity!

Last few days to apply for this...

Fabulous @MEFGL seminar talk this morning from @griffiths_ar on his PhD project on a multi-omic approach to identifying the cause of a serious oak decline disease in the UK! 🌳 @COESEpostgrads @Forest_Research @DefraGovUK

Afternoon tea to bid farewell to James Doonan (@clydeandforth1) after 7 years in the group. Best of luck in Copenhagen, they are lucky to have you! @Beth_Pettifor @lukehillary @fidlerdb @griffiths_ar

[Bethany @Beth_Pettifor]

Woo! Congratulations Team @MpegWales!!! @lukehillary @fidlerdb @griffiths_ar and I all got accepted for @MMEG_2018 presentations AND got support for registration fees from @FEMSTweets!!!!! @COESEpostgrads @BangorUni

We're now doing shotgun Metagenomics analysis lead by our Ifx team leader by Sam Haldenby, with super help from @AmberLeckenby

New Letter: "Pre-visual symptoms of Xylella fastidiosa infection revealed in spectral plant-trait alterations" https://t.co/mcNVqC00Gc - Entire landscapes are scanned by airborne hyperspectral imaging to detect early infection of individual olive trees by Xylella fastidiosa.

[James McDonald @jamesemcdonald]

Had a great couple of days in the field with @griffiths_ar this week investigating a new threat to oak. Here is Andy collecting some bark panels for analysis #treehealth @WoodlandHerita1

Our new paper on host-microbiota interactions in #AcuteOakDecline in @MicrobiomeJ https://t.co/rfRG9lhNXc @WoodlandHerita1 @Forest_Research @BangorUni @clydeandforth1

[Nathan Brown @N_Brown_81]

The AOD distribution is influenced by environmental factors
that may predispose oak trees to decline. See: https://t.co/f1R5ty3D4y

[Forest Research @Forest_Research]

Certainly worth watching this short film and reading the press release. Find out more about our research into Acute Oak Decline here https://t.co/oRxpYOtkfQ #NationalTreeWeek #Observatree https://t.co/PY13Iy3PWu
