@AFEXProject paper led by my PhD student, Hellen Fernanda Viana Cunha & 30 mostly Brazil-based co-authors, is now in the current issue of Nature! With 5 other forest science papers!

In Nature now--with 5 other forest science research articles! We show forest productivity increases with experimental P addition (but not N/cations/intrxns) in an Amazonian forest. Strong responses in leaf & root production, but absent for wood production https://t.co/AVelT9yRLW

Great to see our lab work stimulating debate. Plant-fungal exchange processes are complex, elegant, & still mysterious. We should be open to using all types of tools & frameworks to understand them

The international mycorrhiza society provides four prestigious awards to students, early career, mid career and eminent mycorrhizal researchers. Deadline for applications or nominations is on the 30th of June (this weekend...). Apply yourself (for the student and early career award) or nominate respected colleagues or supervisors. For some awards we have very few candidates, so a good chance! Awards will be announced and given at ICOM12 in Manchester.

Please send your application or nomination to Marcel van der Heijden by Email.

I had so much fun writing this News & Views on @raphmanu & colleagues excellent study on #nutrientaddition #tropicalforest #leaftraits #phosphorus #potassium

#HydrationMultiplier Just like humans drink electrolytes on hot, dry days during exercise, plants use #phosphorus & #potassium to extend their activities during dry seasons.

Congrats @raphmanu & colleagues

#openaccess sounds like a great model, but it’s only half the battle. We need a system that supports the researchers who lack the institutional funding to publish (on top of the other systemic biases they face), not another roadblock to hurdle.

[Eloisa Lasso PhD @ElolassoG]

Preocupante esta tendencia de las revistas científicas de volverse completamente “openaccess”, y que lo digan con orgullo como supuesto mecanismo de reducir desigualdades cuando están haciendo todo lo contrario. Quien puede en Latinoamérica pagar 3 mil dólares para publicar? 😡

Slowly but surely! I am pleased to announce our new findings highlighting the crucial role of potassium and phosphorus in the resilience of tropical forest productivity to seasonal droughts. https://t.co/sedDRPXvTz

A unique (and highly recommended) post-doc opportunity in Panamá with STRI for someone working in restoration ecology or applied ecology, that features an intriguing balance between research and outreach with indigenous communities. Please share widely! @stri_panama

Awards, papers, and h-indexes might seem appealing, but in the end, what you'll remember are the people that celebrated with you when you were up and lifted you up when you were down.

Cherish them.
