Happy to see our paper published in @PNASNews today!! We show that tundra vegetation can substantially boost its volatile isoprene emissions in response to rising temperatures. A great collaboration with many colleagues @ERC_Research #TUVOLU @Riikka_Rinnan https://t.co/mcrLPc47UZ

@ethannichtern Thanks Ethan. We must find the will to rally! We are all now members of this planetary interdependence project....

[Todd Rosenstiel @pdxmoss]

@FaiolaLabUCI Hey Celia. It’s looking like the dominant driver in variation in VOC emissions in early land plants (esp mosses) is likely microbial... this needs to be part of the story.

[Todd Rosenstiel @pdxmoss]

Mosses provide critical habitat for semi-aquatic critters to thrive on land! 400,00,000 million years of bridging worlds...

If you find yourself lying awake at night, tossing and turning, wondering how many #tardigrades there are in a patch of #moss - science has found an answer! For a 0.1m² sample of the moss Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus it is exactly 19,909 individual tardigrades. #dailymoss #bryology

Word on the street is that Dr. Erin Shortlidge @ber_pdx has been promoted to Associate Professor. Congrats Dr! @PSU_Biology

The Woman Who Solved a Cicada Mystery--but Got No Recognition. Great story from PSU history professor ⁦@CatherineMcNeur⁩. Time to rename Cicada Cassini for it’s true discoverer! ⁦@sciam⁩ #stem #glassceiling #entomology https://t.co/x65PlLZpPY

Native Pacific Dogwood (Cornus nuttallii) blooming in Portland! What urban trees should we be planting now for our climate future?

Nice article by Jim Pankow's team in Maseeh College of Engineering & Computer Sci @Portland_State & Joanna Cohen @JohnsHopkinsSPH.

Bryophytes are not early diverging land plants https://t.co/8DEVnti9vR

@EnvEcoLab Have used both the SPAD 502 (pretty bombproof and good for students ) and the optisciences 300. I like the opti-sciences as the small fiber optic gives more measurement options...

[Todd Rosenstiel @pdxmoss]

@mcdaniellab Are latest showing how microarthropods contribute to genetic variation in mosses! 400,000,000 years of plant-invert interactions?

[Stuart McDaniel @mcdaniellab]

Maybe you know that most mosses have separate male and female plants. So how do they reproduce if they cant move? We used to think that the gametes just got carried along in water. Turns out the mosses are a bit freakier than that...

[McDowell Lab @McDowell_Trees]

New Tansley Insight from Breshears and co. on heat wave impacts on plants. Its great to see heat per se get some extra focus within the plant mortality frameworks. Nice stuff!

'Basal' lineages .... Many of us still cling to old habits of a sort of teleo-evolution. Let's be careful with language.

Both (b) and (c) are state of the art. Is Homo 'basal'?
(Physcomitrella is a bryophyte).

@mcdaniellab @Kollar_Genetics Way to go @Kollar_Genetics! I’ll send you all some Portland beer to celebrate!

@Portland_State Hannah and Scott from the lab climbing urban canopies.

[Portland State University @Portland_State]

Hannah Prather climbs trees to learn how they will adapt to climate change. Or how they won’t.

She is part of a Smart Trees Collaborative whose research indicates increased risks of wildfire — tragically illustrated by recent fires across the region.

Midday AQI of 405. Hazardous! Never thought I’d see these numbers in Portland... #wildfireseason2020 #urbansmoke

Extreme wildfire smoke particles blanketing Portland’s urban tree canopy. What impact does particle deposition have on tall tree physiology? Our team is about to have some answers. #AirPollution #urbantrees #smarttrees #deposition
