🎉Congrats to @SteniBocker et al whose @NewPhyt Tansley Review on C + N cycles has been recognised as one of the Top 10 most viewed papers of 2024! Read our blog reflecting on this review, why it resonated, and how we continue to build on this work 👇research.reading.ac.uk/lemon…

🌱Do leaves and roots follow the same strategy? New research led by @ZhuYuzhi5778 in @Ecology_Letters shows that leaf and fine root traits in subtropical forest plants are largely decoupled, with independent above- and below-ground resource strategies. 👇

🌳 Sugar maples sacrifice nitrogen use efficiency for greater water use efficiency while keeping photosynthesis steady. This field test of least-cost theory has big implications for land carbon models. Blog 👇, link to paper in chain.

Annual science meeting of @schmidtsciences @Lemontree_UofR project hosted in @SeoulNatlUni @snucals1 was filled with curiosity and fun!
The program included one day of open seminars, two days of science meetings, and two days dedicated to the Early Career Researcher (ECR) summer school.
The open seminar welcomed nearly 100 participants and featured presentations covering a wide range of topics on Eco-Evolutionary Optimality principles. The talks sparked many engaging questions and discussions.
The science meeting highlighted updates from various working groups. It was a valuable opportunity for all of us to see the overall progress of the project, which led many discussions.
The ECR summer school combined lectures on theory with hands-on training in LiDAR and hyperspectral remote sensing.
We enjoyed a series of social activities too! 🍺 🐟 🥩

At 5pm today at #esa2025, @AlissarCheaib will present her poster: 'The satisfaction of leaf nitrogen demand under drought is modulated by soil nitrogen availability and drought severity" highlighting how water-nutrient interactions must be jointly considered in models. 👌🌿

Today at #esa2025, Snehanjana Chatterjee will present: "The influence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant resource use economics" in session COS-Mycorrhizae 2 (3.30-5pm).
Her work examines how AMF affect plant resource use strategies under different water & nutrient regimes

It's almost time for #esa2025 and we've got our @TexasTech group heading there to present their LEMONTREE research. Have fun @nick_greg_smith, @EvanPerkowski,@AlissarCheaib and Snehanjana Chatterjee!
For more info on their talks head over to the blog...

Super happy to see our new paper out in New Phytologist, we show how plant carbon costs are modulated by plant nutrient acquisition strategy nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…

Curious about how plant pathogens impact photosynthesis ? Thrilled to see our review article accepted and out on First look at @MPMIjournal You can read the unformatted version here apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/1…

N affects the C cycle. But how? Although N cycling is now included in many global vegetation models, C cycle trends remain uncertain. We demonstrate how theory predicts widely observed patterns in experiments and traits data - ready for adoption in models.

Delighted for LEMONTREE's Jan Lankhorst to start his secondment at @TexasTech with @nick_greg_smith & @AlissarCheaib. He will be there until late Nov to study soil resource dynamics and plant processes, potentially refining the P-Model. Good luck Jan!
