🌳 New paper out on Integrative Forest Management (IFM)🌲
How can we manage European forests to support biodiversity, global change adaptation, and ecosystem service provision?
We propose IFM as a unifying framework to tackle this challenge. #TRANSFORMIT

It turns out that drought and warming enhance the risk of nitrogen losses in intensively managed grasslands. Extensively managed ones, on the other hand, stay strong and stable! 😮💨Check our new publication rdcu.be/e88Cm

Logo for the art-science competition described in the post above. The word ‘FLOh!RA’ is written on top of a beige rectangular panel which has rounded ends and is thinly outlined in orange. The letters: F, L, R and A are in light purple text, while ‘Oh!’ is in orange text, making it stand out. Behind the logo on top of a beige background are stylised depictions of flowers and leaves in golden-yellow across three square panels, in a style reminiscent of art- nouveau. This graphic was created by the CREAF communications team.

Hi! I would love to be added as well, thank you! 😊
🥬🌿 #InternshipAlert! MSc in #EnvironmentalEngineering, #PlantPhysiology or #UrbanEcology? Good organizational and quantitative skills? Our Functional Plant Ecology group is looking for an intern for field expeditions to multiple sites across Europe: apply.refline.ch/273855/1827/... #ScienceJobs 🌿🥬
Gentle reminder to fill in the survey on forest disturbance change (below). We have *a lot* of great responses already (thank you!) covering all continents and biomes, but the survey will be open for a few more days! Thanks for making the time, your disturbance expertise is highly appreciated!
Interested in plant-insect herbivores interactions and how temperature shapes their dynamics? Then check out our newly published paper in @newphyt.bsky.social based on my Msc thesis! 🪲🐛🌱🌡
Huge thanks, Thomas, for bringing this study to publication and to all co-authors for the great work!
How do trees respond to #climatechange? The 16 glass chambers of the Model Ecosystem Facility (MODOEK) on the #WSL campus contain miniature ecosystems.
More information on this can be found in the current WSL magazine #DIAGONAL 2/25: www.dora.lib4ri.ch/wsl/islandor...

🌳Étonnante découverte: les platanes évaporent beaucoup d'eau même par forte chaleur, à plus de 39 °C. Ils rafraîchissent plus qu'on ne le pensait, ce qui remet en question les prévisions de répartition de la chaleur en ville. www.wsl.ch/fr/news/les-... #climaturbain #adaptation au climat #arbres

Can beech and oak saplings adjust to prolonged periods of warmer temperatures🌡and soil drought? 🏜
Come find it out at my presentation at @egu.eu!
Looking forward to this experience as a first attendee!
Géniale la BD! 😊
If you never heard about broad-leaved conifers, you absolutely need to read this amazing viewpoint! 🌲🌳
They describe how trees are just too awesome to be put in only two categories and how the misuse of terms can have important implications for our research! 😉
Congrats Helena! 🎉
Our manuscript esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... got awarded #TopViewedArticle! Have you had the chance to learn about nutrients in tropical forests yet? Here we found evidence of some interesting nitrogen-phosphorus links!

Thank you!
My first paper is out! We investigated how #photosynthetic and #respiratory #thermal #acclimation 🌡️ and #canopy size 🌳 shape tree net #carbon uptake under prolonged warming and drought. Check it out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author...
