#InvasivePlants change ecosystems! Ecosystems with more invasive species have faster leaf and root traits, are shorter, shallower, and less reliant on mycorrhizae. Paper by @MagdaGarbowski in @PNASNews
Check out this amazing video summary. youtube.com/watch?v=axbpE-vc…

New paper out in PNAS. We show how trait differences between native and introduced plants shift the functional composition of plant communities across the United States pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.24…
New postdoctoral positions available at Carnegie Science (on Stanford's campus) as part of a Max Planck International Center on land surface modeling. We are broadly looking for researchers whose work can be used to develop land models. Come work with us!

🚀 Join Our Team at @carnegiescience!
We're hiring up to 3 creative #postdoctoral scholars to advance land-surface mediated Earth system feedbacks. This is part of the new MC³ 4 Earth Center with the Max Planck Institute, Caltech, and Columbia University jobs.carnegiescience.edu/job…
Interested in how climate change will affect the Midwest? You're invited to join the author team for the National Climate Assessment's Midwest Chapter for a workshop and networking event at the Science Museum of Minnesota. See the QR code to register.
Interested, but can't go in person? There's a recording of the webinar from February here:

The effects of extreme drought have been greatly underestimated for grasslands and shrublands, according to recent findings from an international team of scientists including @CarnegieEcology's @DukesJeff . carnegiescience.edu/droughts…
Today: 5th National Climate Assessment out in the US. Represents years of work from 100s of scientists, including me (Midwest chapter). Lots of good information and resources regarding climate change, its impacts, and how we can respond, + "art x climate" nca2023.globalchange.gov
I'm looking to hire a postdoctoral fellow to work on interactions among microclimates, vegetation, and ecosystem processes across heterogeneous landscapes. The position is based at Carnegie/Stanford, and would involve fieldwork and land surface modeling. jobs.carnegiescience.edu/job…

Economies impact ecosystems locally but externalities due to these impacts can be felt regionally & globally. How do we deal with this complexity? 👇

Ok, friends, today's the day*: we've reached 8 billion people. Where and when will we peak? How do we sustain Earth's biodiversity and climate AND bring up the quality of life in many regions? Lots for people to work on here.

Recently there have been a lot of news stories about residents suing offshore wind projects.
But most stories fail to mention an important detail:
Many of the lawsuits are being funded by a think tank that gets money from the fossil fuel industry.

Like many of you, I'm frustrated with the new owner's actions here. Trying out @[email protected] on Mastodon. Not deleting things here quite yet. In the meantime, 💚 and wishing those of you in Egypt a happy and fruitful #COP27!

A dark money group is running ads promoting fossil fuels and attacking clean energy in the final weeks before the election.
The PAC has spent more than $1 million to reach voters in 7 swing states.
And someone just sent me documents revealing who's funding it.

Stanford’s new sustainability school is not without controversy; the #StanfordGEF was visited by some creative and polite protesters, particularly unhappy about the ExxonMobil CEO and Exxon funding for the school.
At #StanfordGEF, @chrfield lays out the (huge) challenges of avoiding the worst impacts of climate change, and explores what corporations can do with a panel of people who have been making a difference. Need to continuously increase ambition.
At #StanfordGEF, @lucasjoppa says any companies that take sustainability seriously are constantly reevaluating and updating their goals to increase ambition as they see needs and opportunities. You can’t set a goal and be done.
I want @Google to be delivering emissions reductions that are 1000X our footprint, says @michael_terrell at #StanfordGEF: Companies need to have ambitious goals that go well beyond their four walls.
