Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

Phenology changes for the Japanese cherry tree (Prunus jamasakura) in Kyoto. Left: Day of the year of the flowering peak for the period between 812 and 2024. Right: Relation between March mean air temperature (°C) in Kyoto and the day of the year of the Japanese cherry tree peak flowering for the period between 1890 and 2024.

🌲🖥️ #PhDAlert! MSc in a #natural #science & experience with #tree-ring analysis and statistical software (R)? Fluent in English and ready for #fieldwork? Our #forest dynamics #research unit is looking for a #PhD candidate in #dendroecology and #ecophysiology! apply.refline.ch/273855/1736/...
PhD candidate in Dendroecology and Ecophysiology
The project involves fieldwork, lab analyses and manipulative experiments. The research sites are located in the Alps (Switzerland), Pyrenees (Spain), and Carpathians (Romania), and the experimental study will be conducted in Switzerland. You will apply dendroecological techniques to measure and analyse carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in the cellulose of tree rings as proxies of physiological changes. Additionally, you will participate in an experimental study on saplings growing along an elevational transect in the Alps, examining their morphological, physiological, and phenological responses to climate stressors (heat, drought, and frost). Ultimately, the goal is to rank species by their sensitivity to recent and future climatic stressors, helping forest managers select the most resilient species for each elevation zone.
You hold a Master’s degree in forest ecology, ecology, plant physiology, environmental science, or a related field. Ideally, you already have experience with tree-ring analysis, ecophysiology, or climate data analysis. You have a good command of English, enjoy working collaboratively, and are comfortable using statistical software, preferably R. You are in good physical condition so that you can move safely over rough terrain. In addition, you are independent, self-motivated, and eager to take on a challenging project that will contribute to a deeper understanding of how climate change affects forest ecosystems. This position offers an exciting opportunity for those seeking a career in dendroecology, ecophysiology, or climate change science. You will work in an international research environment with access to cutting-edge methods and collaboration opportunities in Spain and Romania. Working place will be at WSL in Birmensdorf (approx. 20 min outside of Zurich); PhD enrolment will be at University of Bern.

"Women are PIs on 58% of the canceled grants, although they are PIs on only 34% of all active NSF grants.

Similarly, Blacks are PIs on 17% of the terminated grants, although they make only 4% of the total pool. Hispanic PIs and those with disabilities were twice as likely to lose a grant."

Another scoop from Jeff Mervis (@policyhound.bsky.social): NSF's ~1400 grant terminations have disproportionately affected PIs from groups underrepresented in science: women, racial & ethnic minorities, & those with disabilities. 1/3

On Friday, my son stayed home from school because he had a sore throat and wasn’t feeling well. He went with my husband to his office for the morning while I handled our daughter. When he came back at lunch, he was not interested in eating, saying his throat hurt too much. 1/n

I am happy to announce that I will be starting an Emmy Noether group in March at the Senckenberg Museum in Frankfurt, working on the macroevolution and biogeography of fossil plants. I am already looking for a doctoral student (ad below!) and will be looking for another one soon, so stay tuned!

At least 3 recent papers have generated considerable debate on the interpretation of research on common mycorrhizal networks (Karst et al., Henriksson et al., Robinson et al.). They stirred questions on our relationship with epistemology, our understanding of forest functioning,

Just throwing it out there. Anybody has an apartment 🏠 to rent in Paris 🇫🇷? I have to move there shortly with my family for work. I tried everything but the real estate bureaucracy is brutal, especially for foreigners! Social media, do some magic 🪄🧙‍♀️!
