Yes, many tropical trees have annual rings! Great to contribute to this global synthesis led by @pieterzuidema.bsky.social, indicating stronger droughts w climate change may shift observed more resilient responses toward more widespread decreases in productivity www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪🌾🌐

Also in GCB: a meta-analysis of precipitation pulse-responses in C and water cycling (doi.org/10.1111/gcb....). *Huge* effort by @ecophysism.bsky.social. We characterized both the size of response to pulses, and also the shape (do we even see a hump?). Future C-water coupling shifts are possible 🌐🌍

Cool results from the #funpotential project presented by @mikkopel.bsky.social today at the biodivclim final event @biodiversa.eu.
They help understand how and why tree diversity can help to adapt forest to climate change.

Natural disturbances are often invoked as an argument against creating new forest reserves. But are reserves more affected by disturbances than managed forests? For C Europe the answer is no, in fact reserves have lower disturbance rate & severity than managed forests! doi.org/10.1111/1365...
