The recent DroughtNet paper in PNAS has gotten some media attention; we’ll put some links in this thread for those who are interested. coloradosun.com/2024/02/02/c…

Colorado’s shortgrass prairies at risk of dying off as extreme droughts become more common

A new global study reveals why Colorado's shortgrass prairies may experience another Dust Bow.

How did our DroughtNet treatments affect plant growth in the first year of the experiment across 100 sites? Read about it now! Congratulations to everyone who contributed! 🎉

Happy shortest night of the year from the Norwegian heathlands and one of the wettest (and possibly the shortest) @DroughtNet sites!
Dramatic stormy skies over a calm bay with very short rainout shelters and a heathland in the foreground.

Are you happy when plants are sad? Then submit an abstract to our AGU session on drought by Aug 2! Organized with @JuliaKGreen1 and @merneovine. agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prel…

Despite the snow and rain, we were able to go to @WythamWoods this week to start UAVs training. We are waiting for the growing season to start sampling! @DroughtNet @DragnetGlobal @e_borer

"Traits that distinguish dominant species across aridity gradients differ from those that respond to soil moisture" One of the first projects I worked on in grad school is now published! Check it out here: rdcu.be/c3sbG link.springer.com/article/10…

Microbes play a critical role in helping plants deal with drought. New paper by @KBSLTER scientists @jenmj321, Emma Boehm, Kevin Kahmark, @JenLauEvoEco, & @evanssarahe finds response of microbial community to drought depended on the crop species present. online.ucpress.edu/elementa/…

Productive and fun #DroughtNet discussions this week at @ucsb_nceas. Finally taking a close look at the multi-year drought data received (so far) from more than eighty sites around the world. Great support from @USLTER and @LTER_Net_Office.

A great @ucsb_nceas roundtable by the Drought Synthesis Group showed how coordinated, distributed experiments such as @DroughtNet lead to great ecological insight—especially when they have global representation, are easy to join, and have motivated researchers onboard.
