Beautiful mossy forests in Victoria, BC! 🌳🌲 #gsb2026

Presenting the experimental design.

Day 2 of #gsb2026 was a blast - so many people doing interesting things! Proud to represent @btwnthefjords-uib.bsky.social and present preliminary results from FUNDER betweenthefjords.w.uib.no/funder/ at such a cool conference!

(thanks for snapping the pic @paulkardol.bsky.social!)

Rising atmospheric CO2 reduces nitrogen availability in boreal forests - Nature Nitrogen isotope tree-ring chronologies show that rising atmospheric CO2 has reduced nitrogen availability in boreal forests in Sweden, suggesting that elevated atmospheric CO2 is causing oligotrophic...

I am really excited to share our new paper, published today in Nature. We show that rising atmospheric CO2 is linked to decling nutrient availability in boreal forest, with implications for the future carbon sink. Kudos to lead author @kelleyrbassett.bsky.social.

I'm so excited to share our new paper in Global Change Biology: A network of 18 wildfire chronosequences reveals key environmental drivers and knowledge gaps in the boreal nitrogen balance, with @michael-gundale.bsky.social and others. doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Huge congratulations to your awesome master thesis, Emily!!! So much work, so proud 🎊❤️

More results from our experiment researching non-linear responses of subarctic meadows to warming climate coming soon! 🤩

SoilTemp is now MEB! Over the past six years, I’ve poured my heart into SoilTemp. What started as a vision for a global soil temperature database quickly grew into something much more: a living, breathing community of …

The word is out officially, now: SoilTemp has finished its transformation into 'The MEB-network' - a fully-fledged research network that goes far beyond just being a database. And boy, does that make me proud!

Let me show you all the ways you can get involved here:
