Super excited to share our study led by @Eeekology in @Nature where we found that animal herbivores prefer to eat nitrogen-fixing trees. This presents a major cost, constraining nitrogen-fixing species in tropical forests.

Plants are powerful -- the geographical range of plants influenced long-term climate. Fun study to be involved in led by @KhushGr with @bjwmills & @KatieField4
The geographic spread of plants drove ancient #ClimateChange by modifying continental #weathering & #carbon burial rates. @KhushGr, @bjwmills, @palaeoleeds @KatieField4 investigate this effect using a new coupled #VegetationModel nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Do herbivores prefer nitrogen-fixing plants over non-nitrogen-fixing plants? The answer might help to explain the limited nitrogen availability on land go.nature.com/3hwun32
"Herbivores can limit nitrogen availability on land" -- super cool analysis and questions raised by @joywinbourne and @lmcculloch9 in their News & Views on our article.

Herbivory costs drive the scarcity of nitrogen-fixing tropical trees.
N-fixers are preferentially hit by herbivores, potentially limiting the tropical carbon sink.

Just out in @Nature: Herbivory on nitrogen-fixing trees limits the ability of tropical forests to grow & store carbon; constrains the tropical forest carbon sink. @SABatterman @LSComita #WillBarker @stri_panama

We did it! If you like #modelling and #plants check out our simple one called FLORA 🌱💚and how it performs over the Phanerozoic.
@KhushGr et al. link climate with a new dynamic vegetation model to identify two windows of opportunity for plant biomass expansion, corresponding with the expansion of land plants and the angiosperm radiation nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
This was a fun collaboration led by @KhushGr on opportunities for plant evolution and expansion over Earth's long-term history.

I'm so honored to work with @michellewongca and excited for her next steps. She's going to be a super adviser. Congratulations!

Check our recent paper @ESAEcology, we synthesized available data from the literature and found that🔥fire🔥reduces soil enzyme activities and reorganizes microbially-mediated nutrient cycles

The work of amazing researchers like @KateClancy has shown that ~64% of field researchers report harassment while in the field, and 22% —ONE IN FIVE-- report assault. Sexual misconduct is pervasive and systemic in fieldwork.

Our community needs more advocates like @Tana_TropicsGal! We are so in awe of your strength standing with and for survivors. #WomenInSTEM #workplacesafety #BelieveSurvivors
As a community we need to do better so that the next generation of women scientists don’t have to go through this! buzzfeednews.com/article/nis…
By the way, it was ten years ago to this day I was sexually assaulted at the @theAGU meeting in San Francisco by a @Smithsonian scientist. Institutions must finally #BelieveSurvivors so no other woman feels she has no choice but stay silent for so long again. #JustLetMeDoScience
I'm so proud of the women who joined me in speaking out about their experiences of sexual harassment and sexual assault. So many women are survivors, and it holds women in the sciences back. #MeToo #STEMToo #WomenInSTEM @ksinacore @Tana_TropicsGal @MegCrofoot @eddyer96

This is an important read for anyone in academia. Current systems at @stri_panama permit the abuse of power - including assault, harassment, and retaliation - directed primarily at young women scientists. We need substantive reform
