Our ambitious experiment in the Amazon rainforest - ⁦@amazonface⁩

6 rings of towers: 3 will keep CO2 levels within them high so we can study how rainforest trees respond. eg. does growth keep increasing at high CO2?

Crucial knowledge for calculating future carbon budgets

Why does plant respiration decay overnight? @simonrobjones provides an answer in this elegant modelling paper, with Dan Bruhn, Lina Mercado, @NinaRaoult @ExeterUniMaths @GSI_Exeter https://t.co/7FZOaolGrB

[Simon Jones @simonrobjones]

I may go on about non-structural carbohydrates but you have to admit they do quite neatly explain declines in nocturnal plant respiration.

Read more in my new paper with @coxypm, Lina Mercado, Dan Bruhn and @NinaRaoult published with @SpringerNature. https://t.co/OXNfRQyDV7

Cool new paper from @simonrobjones, which applies control theory to the modelling of plant stomatal conductance. @ExeterUniMaths @GSI_Exeter https://t.co/qVxbMza1Nq

What did we find? A thread...🧵

@rosie_a_fisher @RolandSeferian we're currently having a 2-hub + online hybrid event between UK and Brazil. This has reduced travel, but also allows 1-2-1 interaction. Working so far -but yes we are learning how to do hybrid better. We certainly shouldn't revert to a "all must travel" regime

It turns out a PhD in plant modelling just about qualifies you to hold stuff for real ecologists in the lab. Thanks to @biobartholomew for showing me part of the process for analysing NSC concentrations in tree cores at the University of Campinas!
