An Iowa State biologist received a $1.8 million grant to study a gene that affects both how plants grow and how they respond to environmental threats. Unraveling the balancing act between fortifying and flourishing could help make crops more resilient.

Did you ever find such green-brown ooze on #soil in your neighborhood? This is a colony of #cyanobacteria, genus #Nostoc! They fix Nitrogen and do photosynthesis. A rare case of wild #bacteria that you can see without a microscope. Once you know them you can find them :)

#Botany2023 I'm recruiting grad students for my new lab

Glad to have Joel back!

[TRACE @ForestWarming]

This will involve collecting the last samples of the growing seedlings, with the final removal of the entire plant itself afterwards.

Joel will specifically work on extracting the root exudate from the live roots of the 𝘎𝘶𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 seedlings. 🌱🌿

2023 TRACE Annual Meeting 🌳🌻

Proud of our entire team! 😁 #ForestWarming

[TRACE @ForestWarming]

During this year's seedling census, the TRACE team measured 546 seedlings across all of our six plots!

[Sasha Reed @ecology_awesome]

The only thing that gets me more excited than the incredible tropical forest science at #TRACE is the spectacular TRACE team. What an amazing group of scientists at all career stages working to advance our understanding of these phenomenal ecosystems and their responses to change

[TRACE @ForestWarming]

Some TRACE members presented their current data / projects. We learned about new experiments from TRACE field technician Deyaneria Ortiz, grad student Malik Sankofa, postdoc Rob Tunison & grad student Parker Bartz. 💯

These presentations give insight into the future of TRACE. 🌴

The Shadehouse duo is back! 😎

Graduate students Gabriela & Parker are back at the TRACE field site after finishing their semester at @okstate. They'll be continuing their work with the shadehouse experiment as well as their thesis projects under @BeneBachelot. 👨‍🔬#ForestWarming

[Bene Bachelot @BeneBachelot]

Another successful week in the lab! @ghvillani and @parkerbartz did great during their thesis proposal seminars (and defense for @parkerbartz). Gabby presented her work on seed predation, density, and camouflage! The entire lab gathered at the Ballroom! @okstate

[TRACE @ForestWarming]

We take our fungicide spraying quite seriously at TRACE 🧤

After administering the inoculate into the shadehouse experiment’s seedlings, it was time to start applying the treatments.

[TRACE @ForestWarming]

This week we celebrated the many successes of the TRACE team with a community potluck!

We celebrated:
- successful end of field campaigns 🔨
- successful plant germinations 🌱
- Katherine’s birthday! 🎂
- graduate school acceptances 🧑‍🎓

We’re very proud of our team! 🥇

[TRACE @ForestWarming]

Fieldwork you feel in your Core! 💪

We recently took out soil cores from the TRACE plots for the Shadehouse experiment. They were taken from experimentally warmed and control plots. As you can see, soil coring is quite the workout! 🔨 #ForestWarming

[TRACE @ForestWarming]

This kind of field work is hardCORE! 🔨🌱

University of Hamburg graduate student Carol Miron led the TRACE field team to the Drought Experiment at El Verde Field Station to install minirhizotron tubes as part of her PhD work.
