Call for a 2-year research position in Bologna!
Deadline: Jan 8th 2024

Double great news:
We had two papers published in the last month!
One is the relationship between traits and drought resistance (https://t.co/IlTAWDiEyz) and the other on the digitization a vegetation dataset from Patagonia (https://t.co/ld3c1pTo0P).

@UniboBiome @CONICETDialoga You can find the paper here: https://t.co/ld3c1pTo0P =)

[BIOME - Biodiversity and Macroecology @UniboBiome]

In the 1970s, a pioneer team of Argentinian, Chilean and UK biogeographers studied the vegetation of Patagonia along a 450 km transect. Now the data are available #OA and published in @JVSAVS, thanks to a collaboration with @sPlot_iDiv @CONICETDialoga

Beautiful use of the @sPlot_iDiv vegetation database ⬇️

Vulnerability to embolism #P50 & root length in woody plants are independent or othogonal traits selected by aridity, seasonality & water table depth

🚨 Just published @NewPhyt 🤩

Do you already know the open version of sPlot, sPlotOpen? If not, this is a good opportunity to check it out! We have released an updated version correcting some mismatches in species occurrences.

You can access the version 2.0 of this open dataset at https://t.co/Orufhinw39

Nice to see Thore Engel’s paper published! It used the @sPlot_iDiv global vegetation plot data base and started during⁦⁩ Thore’s MSc at the Graduate Program in Ecology, UFRGS, Porto Alegre. https://t.co/m1yFuXA31c

📢📢 New sPlot paper published! ⭐️⭐️

@ThoreEngel led this great study in which the prevalence of traits from dominant species drives ecosystem function in grasslands worldwide.

Check it at https://t.co/VsrvJyq300

[BIOME - Biodiversity and Macroecology @UniboBiome]

How do plant functional traits contribute to ecosystem functioning?
Using grassland data from @sPlot_iDiv and #MODIS satellite images, we found a disproprortionate contribution of dominant plant species to peak season productivity @GEB_macro

@Javier_Lopatin Thank you for pointing out, @Javier_Lopatin. It is a world I will use with more parsimonia in the future.

[sPlot - iDiv @sPlot_iDiv]

@KambachStephan This is a new large-extent study with a number of co-authors contributing to the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and @sPlot_iDiv.

[sPlot - iDiv @sPlot_iDiv]

Plant functional traits should be tightly linked to climate, but this was elusive to prove at the global scale.
@KambachStephan
shows why: The relationship is habitat specific

I am excited to share our new @NatureEcoEvo paper that uses @inaturalist citizen science observations to map plant functional traits on a global scale!

I am very happy for @so_phiewolf! Her first PhD paper was just published @NatureEcoEvo where she combined @inaturalist #CitizenScience data and @TryPlantTraitDB to generate global maps of #planttraits and compared them to @sPlot_iDiv https://t.co/YvB1SLf6LB

There is a #paradox in #biodiversity conservation: species disappear regionally, but local species richness is stable
@HelgeBruelheide @idiv @UniHalle and colleagues tackle this problem for Germany.
