🌿 Excited to share FAIRTraits!

A data set with 189,452 records of 180 quantitative #traits from 240 Mediterranean plant species, fully FAIR-compliant & openly available 📊🌐

Started back in 2013 when I was a MSc student, now a huge team effort 💪

@esajournals.bsky.social

Last week, we hosted Leyre (PhD w/ Francesco) who flew a drone equipped with a #multispectral camera over all our multi-site diversity plots 🚁

At the same time, we measured plant #traits across the entire gradient and… processed 710 leaf samples in just 2 days 😅

An intense but rewarding campaign 💪

🎤 Grateful for the opportunity to speak as a keynote at #PopBio2025 in beautiful Prague! 🇨🇿✨

It was a true pleasure to share my work and connect with such a thoughtful community 🌍

Huge thanks to the organizers for putting together such a fantastic event! 👏🏼🎉🌱

🌿Just published in Ecology @esajournals.bsky.social! 🎉

Using long-term removal experiments, we empirically tested how redundancy and complementarity among plant species shape seasonal #carbon dynamics in a natural grassland 🌐

🌿 It’s a great opportunity to reshare my poster from #IAVS2024 in Madeira!

This poster provides a great summary of our unified framework for understanding the stability of ecological communities. A useful starting point for those who want to explore it!

🌱 I’m excited to announce that I’ll be presenting at PopBio 2025 in Prague! 🌍🌐

I’ll be discussing the drivers of stability in ecological communities and sharing new results from long-term biodiversity data.

It’s the result of a massive collaborative effort to establish & maintain the removal experiment. Collecting root data was no easy task – months of hard work went into processing all the samples. Huge thanks to the team for making it happen! 🌱
