Microclimates matter! Presumably the southern edge of these tulips experience more sun/heat and give them a slight head start on blooming compared to those on the northern edge of this row.
Spotted at the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival!

@shimogarakesh.bsky.social congrats on the T_opt vs PSII stability trade-off in paper!
You might find Perez et al. (2023) in Am Nat interesting as it supports your results (although doesn’t incorporate PSII heat tolerance). www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10....
See below - A big win for Nature in the battle against climate change!
Kudos to our exceptional team for sweating the details that make this work possible. Climate change still rages forward and the work doesn't end here. Onwards!

Not sure who needs to read this, but search algorithms (ie google, etc) are altered thousands of times per day with big changes multiple times a year. Your “objective” Boolean searches are not replicable.

Yesterday, we had a webinar organised by the #PEPR #FORESTT on the use of species distribution models #SDMs with application in forestry 🌳🌲 You can watch 📹 16 talks on this topic, including one on the impacts of microclimatic processes for species (re)distribution ⬇️

Updates to the database will be made on the website below. Feel free to download the dataset or upload your own data. The dataset will be updated periodically after new submissions are made. tmoreperez.github.io/heat-toleran...
a multi-paneled figure summarizing the methodological, geographical, and taxonomic data in this database.
Hopefully, this database disambiguates some of the different ways to measure (and interpret) PHTs. Look at panel A in the figure below - 70 distinct methods even after trying to simplify and categorize them.
Plant heat tolerances (PHTs) remain a hot topic (pun intended), but their physiological relevance to broader metrics of performance - and even other metrics of heat tolerance - are are poorly established. Part of the issue with plant heat tolerances is that they are measured so many different ways.
We published a database of plant heat tolerances to catalyze research that advances plant ecology.

Where are all the posts about new papers that have been published? I left Twitter/X, but haven’t been able to recapture the same utility here.
For better or worse, most of the science I see posted is in LinkedIn. LinkedIn!!!

The National Climate Assessment, and all special reports and past assessments, are now offline. Federal climate science is being systematically erased.
That said, supporting a political party that seems inherently anti-science does seem hare brained.
I think this is a fascinating interview. 38:11 when Thiel takes a long time to answer if he thinks humans should persist is astonishing - not far off from closing the circle with radical environmentalists.
I agree that there has been stagnation from my narrow perspective on science.
Wow- this is a fascinating interview. & unhinged towards the end. Curious what other people think, esp about the stagnation of science.
A scientist once told me that science was just finding new ways to test the same hypothesis, which sounds like stagnation to me.

What’s happening with the x-axis in the figure with model projections?
I’m very excited to have led the scientific efforts along with the many moving parts overlooked by other team members that made this happen.
It feels amazing to put years of experience and education to work restoring degraded lands and mitigating climate change

A line graph showing atmospheric CO2 levels at Mauna Loa Observatory from 1955 to 2025. The y-axis represents CO2 mole fraction in parts per million (ppm), ranging from 320 to 420 ppm, while the x-axis is years.
The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii.
@noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

🌍🌱 Global Vegetation Growth Slowing
A new study found that plants are absorbing less CO₂ as vegetation growth slows. This weakens Earth’s ability to act as a natural carbon sponge, making it more urgent to reduce emissions & tackle #ClimateChange
