Our paper evaluating effects of experimental warming in soil respiration is finally out!!

A year-long experiment in a wet tropical #forest found that 4°C of warming boosted soil CO2 emissions by 42-204%. These high rates suggest tropical #soils may release more #carbon under future warming than #climate models predict.

USDA will close its flagship, but deteriorating research site in Maryland as part of a major reorganization aiming to shift 2600 employees away from the nation’s capital area. The agency also said it plans to shutter most of its forest research stations around the country. scim.ag/3J2aNZC
USDA reorganization will cut agricultural and forest research
One of the agency’s largest and most storied research facilities will be closed along with most forest research stations

For the past year, my father and I have been renovating a house in Puerto Rico and it’s now available to rent via Airbnb. I am really proud of what we have done!

Unsure what it means to have a single research station in Fort Collins, CO. Is the plan for us to stop serving large portions of our communities? 🤔 or just centralize leadership? Details are currently sparse.

USDA reorganization will move most of its Washington staff ‘closer to’ farmers
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is closing several D.C.-area buildings but notably will not pursue a large-scale reduction in force.

Building a drought experiment in a tropical rainforest? Call 0800-LUQTEE for all tips & tricks!

Building "only" took us a year. Now we celebrate & see data coming in to study tree responses to drought! With @smithmartin.bsky.social @jesterkz.bsky.social @tanawood.bsky.social & many more not on bsky

I’m crying… it has been so hard watching this happen to such talented scientists and civil servants and I really hope this leads to positions getting reinstated. There’s still reduction in force plans to get through, but this win feels good.

Federal Court finds Trump & Musk’s firing of probationary employees illegal.

Judge Alsup didn’t come to play:

“The Office of Personnel Management does not have any authority whatsoever under any statute in the history of the universe to hire and fire employees at another agency.”

Judge Alsup calls probationary federal employees “the lifeblood of our government”
