Kudos to Ruben Roos, who spearheaded this work, and the #PFTC team for all of the effort in collecting and analyzing the data. If we are to predict Arctic ecosystem responses to climate and biodiversity change, understanding these nutrient linkages is key tinyurl.com/j4epvu8c

Our #PFTC study used a space-for-time approach across two gradients: one nutrient-rich due to seabirds, and one primarily climate-driven. We sampled multiple plants traits near and far from sea bird colonies to assess if seabirds have an impact on terrestrial plant and ecosystem ecology 3/n

Check out our new #PFTC paper! Why is the high Arctic such a vital place to reveal ecological connections between animals, plants, the ocean & land? Why are parts of Svalbard so green (see photo)? How marine-derived nutrients shape functional composition of High Arctic plant communities 🌐🧪 1/n

For anyone our there doing repeated #vegetation #community surveys (for #experiments, #monitoring), check out @richardjtelford.bsky.social’s #turfmapper package - it’s amazingly useful for taxonomic data checking & cleaning!! 🧪🌱 📏🌍 #PFTC #BtwnTheFjords

And what better way to travel the world than to go study #Mountain ecology with like-minded people? Through the #PFTC Plant Functional Traits Courses >180 scientists and students of > 30 nationalities have worked together on #plants #traits and #climate! plantfunctionaltraitscourses.w.uib.no

Sonya, Sam, Nicole, Josh, Hilary Rose, and Sean smile for a group photo in front of the Melbourne Convention Centre.
A great part of being a Plant Functional Trait alumna is meeting up with the #PFTC community around the world. This time, #ESAus2024 in Melbourne with @sonyageange.bsky.social, @nicolebison.bsky.social, @joshleecology.bsky.social, @seanmichaletz.bsky.social, and Sam Beale.

... and most importantly, if it was not for @vvandvik.bsky.social - who has led us and shown the light - #PFTC would not have happened.

We have taught the science & methods of functional traits using #OpenScience on 7 courses (so far) to ~180 different students from 86 institutions & 30 countries. One of the most rewarding efforts I have been a part of. #PFTC alumni? ping @hilaryrosed.bsky.social to be added go.bsky.app/4T8pBZr

Sam presents a slide with diagrams of different mountains and elevational gradients.
Sam Beale compared plant traits between Macquarie Island and published datasets from the #PlantFunctionalTraitCourse #PFTC around the world and found lower functional redundancy. #ESAus2024

Checking out potential new elevational gradients and field sites in the Pyrenees on the France/Spain border and potentially the next Plant functional trait course #PFTC - such a fantastic mountain range!

Kew Gardens - glasshouse and fountain
Honored to give a seminar at Kew today and catch up on Science with several friends, a #PFTC instructor, and #MacroecologyLab graduate.
