Today, we had to do some necessary winter maintenance at one of our forest monitoring sites in central Spain. It was great to see some snow there (compared to most recent years)

In Mediterranean pine reforestation, trees acclimate to warming and drought by shifting carbon below ground aka optimal partitioning theory. New paper @jappliedecology.bsky.social lead by @ajpelu.bsky.social using #RemoteSensing and #dendroecology doi.org/10.1111/1365...

This week, we remeasured Pinus halepensis permanent plots for the 8th time since 1965. Some plots have been logged following regular #forest management in the area, but most are still standing #FieldPhotoFriday

This is probably the largest mushroom I've ever seen. Yellow notebook scale is 20cm. I guess it is some type of puffball. In the Javakheti plateau of Georgia.
