Do you study carbon reserves in trees or woody plants? New special issue at #TreePhysiology on role of C reserves in allocation, remobilization, storage, influence on plant growth, stress response, metabolism, etc.

Has AMOC run amok? Yikes!
New Danish study just out in Nature Communications, titled "Warning of a forthcoming collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation".
Is it serious? Here's my take on it: buff.ly/3O95c2M

New paper:
The living piñon🌲in this photo (left) has tolerated drought treatment for 13 years (!).
While a reasonable question is "why would you do this to that poor tree?"
We asked: "how is this tree still alive?" Old reserves may be one answer.

Do we also see this disconnect in our data? I used a PCA to project the full dataset onto a linear sub space. Basically, if the angle between photosynthesis and growth is 0, that would imply perfect correlation! As the angle approaches 90 degrees, the vectors are independent.
Congratulations to @ecofiz1 on publication of 1st PhD chapter in Nature Communications! Levels of knowledge: 1) photosynthesis drives growth, 2)environment limits growth > photosynthesis, 3) both growth and photosynthesis are co-limited. We go to #3! doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-3…
News coverage of our in-review work on timing and causes of western redcedar dieback. If only reviewers would take as much interest in the paper as the press is - maybe we could get it published! @ArjanMeddens @lrpoutside @CinquiniTrees & others

I asked ChatGPT about #whatkillstrees. It did pretty well. Clearly its plugged into the literature. The future is wild and a bit frightening....and should I by thinking more about ROS in my work?
Oh Snap!
How popular claims about common mycorrhizal networks in forests are disconnected from evidence. Thx to M. Jones & J. Hoeksema @jhooooks for their friendship, brilliance, and integrity. I would not have had the courage to tackle this issue without them. nature.com/articles/s41559-0…
When I hear back on submitted proposals, especially from NSF, I expect to be rejected. I am surprised when they are funded. Today I was not surprised.
So that panel better not be surprised to see that proposal again in a few months!
An awesome story on how forest restoration in Australia might prevent the next lethal pandemic (in humans).

Pro-tip: When applying for faculty jobs, please address the criteria in the job description! So if it says global change, be sure to relate your work to that. Otherwise you will be cut from the search, even if you have an impressive CV.

Death from hunger or thirst? Phloem death, rather than xylem hydraulic failure, as a driver of fire-induced conifer mortality @RaquelFeltrin @pyroecophys @GeogUidaho @uidaho @UIdahoCNR

Cross-sections of unburned (a) and burned (b) plants in Experiment 1 show similar nonheat-induced damaged xylem cell walls (arrows). Cross-sections of unburned (c, e) and burned (d, f) plants in Experiments 1 and 2, respectively.
Hey tree-ring folks, I have a great undergraduate researcher looking for MS graduate study opportunities in dendroecology. Where is the best place to find job ads for #treering research assistantships these days?
Doing tree ecophysiology in field experiments. Where trees stop living in pots and start getting real. #realworld

Whoa @wmhammond recent Nat Comm paper gets a snazzy infographic in this month’s National Grographic feature on forest mortality! – at Wisconsin, USA

These really cool figures highlight the impacts of environmental stress on trees and #treemortality
