Plant physiological responses to CO2 #fertilization can make natural climate solutions (e.g., reforestation, avoiding #deforestation) less efficient through climate feedback from stomatal closure. @NewPhyt @GeographyUcla

Studying a future at risk, presents deep personal and professional challenges for scientists, as theoretical ecologist Prof Belinda Medlyn FAA (@b_medlyn) has experienced. Belinda is from Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment (@westernsydneyu, @westsyduhie) and we are so pleased they have come on board as an event partner for Science at the Shine Dome 2024. Hear from Belinda and many more Fellows at #ShineDome24, 9-12 September. Join in person or online. bit.ly/SATS24
Thrilled to see this paper published - an international collaborative work involving modellers and experimentalists. We assessed the C-P interactions in models and their responses to elevated CO2 @westsyduhie @westernsydneyu @ZJU_China
A new study on Eucalyptus forests adds to evidence that the global CO2-driven carbon sink may be overestimated by models.

Research at @EucFACE shows soil microbes restrict access to the essential nutrient phosphorus in mature eucalypt trees newscientist.com/article/243…
@jiangmingkai @davidellsworth @yolimacarillo @ProfIanAnderson @S01LS @jsoilecol @SallyPowerUWS @riegler_markus
Extremely delighted to share this latest work from #EucFACE. We show microbial competition for phosphorus is strong that plants are getting enough nutrient to support extra biomass growth under elevated CO2. A great team effort and thanks to everybody involved.
New research published today in @SpringerNature shows that mature eucalyptus trees don’t increase their growth with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which was expected to boost plant growth, due to soil microbes restricting their access to the essential nutrient phosphorus.
It is generally thought that increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere stimulates plant growth. However, the new study led by Western Sydney University @westsyduhie provides an important counterpoint to this long-held view 🍃🌿 MORE bit.ly/3KsylVc
ALT Western Sydney University’s Eucalyptus Free Air CO2 Enrichment (EucFACE) experiment, Australia's largest climate change research project. The trees at EucFACE reach to 25 metres in height, with extra CO2 added through a computer-controlled system in the out-of-doors. Over six years, researchers exposed a 100-year-old eucalypt woodland on Western Sydney’s Cumberland Plain to elevated carbon dioxide levels. The team undertook in-depth sampling of phosphorus in all parts of the ecosystem to trace its journey from the soil to the trees. IMAGE CREDIT: SALLY TSOUTAS
Our monthly Carbon Research Webinar is back - this time we have Daniel Goll @Pdevilselement talking about the effect of phosphorus on land C sink - supported by the editorial office from Carbon Research @Biochar5. All welcome to zoom in.
Honored to be hosting Prof. Sönke Zaehle virtually today at 16:15 Beijing time. All are welcome to join! @soenke_zaehle @jzuscn

📢 In Nov, my final chapter was published in @NewPhyt 🥳
We assessed the effect of eCO2 on stomatal conductance in trees and assessed the use of the optimal stomatal model.
(Apologies for the delayed tweet!)

Excited to be hosting Beni Stocker @SteniBocker and Ensheng Weng @wengensheng, with support from @jzuscn. Let's talk about vegetation modelling. Link below:
Looking forward to #AGU22 , please consider submitting an abstract to our session, co-organized by Kailiang Yu, @ultracricket , @GeorgiouKat and myself. Topics on terrestrial ecosystem ecology, biogeochemical cycling, climate change. Deadline 3rd August.

There have been lots of estimates of C emissions following the Australian #BlackSummer fires. How do they stack up against field observations? Our new paper looks at this, and post-fire tree mortality.

If you’ve ever thought of coming to study or collaborate with @westsyduhie researchers once the borders open, here is a little snapshot of some of our cool research facilities.
#Nitrogen and #phosphorus availability and mycorrhizal #fungi are crucial in driving modelled plant #carbon dynamics and trait distributions 👇
