Without the right question, answers are hopeless. Better methods matter! This preprint nails what we are missing.
What if your drought shifts variability, not mean? What if temperature swings, not averages predicts the outcome? Model it, here is how: doi.org/10.32942/X2W...

Crazy stuff. Never seen such a thing.
Today’s discovery while washing Trichophorum cespitosum roots: tiny coil spring structures! Possibly part of contractile roots? Nature’s engineering never ceases to surprise. #roots #ecology #peatlands

Throwback to our last summer field campaign in Northeast Finland.
Happy to host my phenomenal Finnish colleagues now here in Umeå and really dig into the topic of plant-root-methane-hydrology. Thanks to Eeva Järvi-Laturi and Kaisa Säkkinen and everyone else. It was truly a joyful summer.

The soil is providing food & water, but how to monitor what’s going on in the ground without destroying it?
Our answer: sounds.
Listen to Jonatan Klaminder as he explains it all from 1:07:00 until 1:37:00 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LcR...
The automated subtitles in English are 👌

"Priority effects were common and strong" - a fantastic study demonstrating how plant growth and the arrival order of a plant is linked to it's competitiveness. Great stuff!

Priority effects can be explained by competitive traits
Priority effects, the effects of early-arriving species on late-arriving species, are caused by niche preemption and/or niche modification. The strength of priority effects can be determined by the e...
