Huge thanks to all my great coauthors, who are Qiren Wang @Caltech, Weiwei Zhan@Columbia, Xu Lian (now an assistant professor @Peking Uni), and my mentor @pierregentine.bsky.social !

Our new paper is out on Nature Plants! We found that soil moisture contributes more to ecosystem photosynthesis than VPD for the water-limited periods and water-limited locations, using causality-guided explainable AI. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Great pack! I have a sparsely populated pack - Ecology Innovators - that I’m looking to add to. For people/orgs/ventures bringing ecosystem science into the marketplace. Dovetails nicely with climate finance. Please send along suggestions to add to it!

Love it! I also have a nature based solution-ists starter pack that might be relevant. go.bsky.app/TVhgtMc

We have an open postdoc position in the Quantitative Ecosystem Dynamics lab at UC Berkeley: forms.gle/Nx1EHYiCv3yR...
in the areas of ecohydrology, land-atmosphere interactions, and global change ecology.

Please spread the word!

Missing AGU this year feels like a tragedy, especially after seeing these exciting titles!

We find that the overall timescale of acclimation is 14 days. Fast-growing plants acclimate more slowly but over a shorter periods than their slow-growing counterparts. Incorporating optimality-based seasonal photosynthetic capacity can enhance acclimation modeling.

Thrilled to share our OA Nature Plants publication! We find widespread thermal acclimation of canopy photosynthesis in time and space using FLUXNET2015. So humbled and grateful to collaborate with many incredible coauthors on this journey @youngryel.bsky.social @pierregentine.bsky.social!
