Global change ecologist setting right what once went wrong, the only way I know how, in a world of criminals who operate above the law.

@mrillig Here's a broad idea, maybe too broad to be a hypothesis, that underlies a lot gc research: Organisms/ecosystems respond to global change drivers in a way that moderates the severity of the driver.

Villanova Biology is seeking applications from grad students interested doing impactful masters level research. For instance, explore coastal wetland ecology on the #WETFEETproject.

@theswampboss @pewenvironment @Estuaries4Life cool study, but as it notes, only a portion of the blue C is in biomass. The soil holds most of it. If we lose land, we will ultimately lose C. Maybe some eroded soil C gets buried somewhere else, but much is likely oxidized back to atmosphere.

It is all about Trees! Join us tonight for our weekly seminar series #Biodiversity in your Backyard: The #Oakwell Series. @geoenv_nova and CBEST's own Dr. Jen Santoro will be talking about our neighborhood canopy at 7 pm. Everyone is welcome https://t.co/LredVQ6pbl

@colinaverill @NoahFierer It’s a useful example. In most cases, wouldn’t f:b ratio also be a function of the environment?

[Adam Langley @JAdamLangley]

@GlobalEcoGuy @irish2witter Yeah- I was thinking it was in mass of C, not CO2. Wait why express biomass in terms of CO2 mass? Still, I'd say more like 6% (13/220), removing autotrophic respiration from the denominator. But yeah, that seems like a downgrade compared to dogma- confused by headlines.

[Adam Langley @JAdamLangley]

@GlobalEcoGuy @irish2witter The fungi could have something to do with the land sink, but really only if they’re changing in some way. The debunking of the wood wide web is mostly in regards to their transfer of resources. That fungi receive a large portion of photosynthate is solid.

[Adam Langley @JAdamLangley]

@AnnaPuchkoff Yes- and it seems to me that the water filtration services of wetlands are likely to be MORE effective where subsurface flow dominates. Alito may not have thought this through.

[Adam Langley @JAdamLangley]

The people have spoken, and they are yearning for native plants. Great work!

[CBESTnova @CBEST_nova]

Thanks to EVERYONE who came out to the Native plant event we threw to support #Nativeplants on campus and for folks' gardens at home. Hundreds of plants are out in the world because of your generosity! And more will be planted on campus soon. Huzzahhhh have a great weekend!

[CBESTnova @CBEST_nova]

Hey Native Plant-Loving People. Our Plant EVENT is Thursday 5/4 and Friday 5/5 from 10-2. We have 14 spp. of native PA plants and lots of gardeny type veg- tomatoes, peppers, nasturtiums, etc. Greenhouse. Suggested donations. Organic and Peat-Free. https://t.co/fOMbkyQ7Sq

@LuisZaman A hard number to find. We cite Rousk and Baath in here and may have some other citations: https://t.co/UHGyxaGJjB

Mangroves rise fast but fall hard.

[Samantha Chapman @skchapman4]

We found that mangroves build elevation faster than salt marshes at the same site, but both ecosystem types collapse under high rates of SLR. The slick new CWEM shows that mangroves go down especially fast. #wetfeetproject @jadamlangley @GTMReserve https://t.co/VmdKom5rC2

What started as a class paper on the biogeography of microbial function blossomed into a conceptual model on how the world operates. Congrats to first-time first author @PhilipFYang and the rest of the undergrad team.

[Adam Langley @JAdamLangley]

We live in one of two worlds. Either sharks roam freely on land, or our best family trivia game authors and editors were wrong about a basic biological fact. In one reality, human survival has no chance. In the other it no longer has any purpose. Not leaving the house either way.

[Adam Langley @JAdamLangley]

Thought you were safe on land? I didn’t want to find out this way, but great white sharks have been reclassified as amphibians.

Come join @jadamlangley & I and the rest of the #WETFEETproject team as a funded MS student next Fall @VillanovaU. We are recruiting students to work on new projects investigating nutrient pollution and hydrological barriers in the gorgeous coastal wetlands of the @GTMReserve

@brookswmitchell @ronaldacunajr24 friends in high places

[Jay Wright @CoachJayWright]

Much respect - @SteveKerr is right on !
