Contrasting thermophilization among forests, grasslands and alpine summits - Nature Analyses of large-scale, multitaxa and long-term thermophilization patterns in forests, grasslands and alpine summits across Europe provide insight into shifts in community composition among different...

The thermophilisation rate of plant communities in response to global warming is 5 times faster on alpine summits than in forests or grasslands across 🇪🇺

This finding corroborates former findings on the greater likelihood for upslope than poleward range shifts of plants 🌳🌲☘️🌾🪻🌼

XyloDensMap: a georeferenced dataset for the wood density of 110,000 trees from 156 European species in France - Scientific Data Scientific Data - XyloDensMap: a georeferenced dataset for the wood density of 110,000 trees from 156 European species in France

10 years ago, we had this idea of using tree cores of the French NFI @ignfrance.bsky.social to massively measure wood density in a medical scanner @inrae-france.bsky.social. This is now done for +100000 cores in +150 species. Congrats to Leban & colleagues Inrae/NFI ! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Some tropical trees cool their leaves to survive the heat — but not all species have ways to cope In full sun, tropical leaves can become much hotter than the surrounding air. Their ability to cope can be a matter of life or death.

Check out our piece in @theconversation.com explaining how intraspecific trait coordination across climatic gradients helps to avoid heat stress in some (but not all) tropical tree species
