@christina-hn.bsky.social gave insights into tree growth, the role of water supply, and how we measure it - from traditional approaches to high-resolution sensors.

@rschwutke.bsky.social took participants into the canopy to measure stomatal conductance (=how much water exits leaves through stomata). Trees limit water loss by regulating their stomata - some tree species are more conservative with their water and close their stomata earlier than others

Saturday we @enricounigoe.bsky.social went into the forest for our outreach project “Forest Resilience: Science and Practice”. We showed how scientists study forests — from soil to canopy — to supports climate-resilient forest management.

Yellowstone’s free-moving large bison herds provide a glimpse of their past ecosystem function

Although momentum is building to restore bison across North America, most efforts focus on small, managed herds, leaving unclear how large, migrating herds shape landscapes and whether their effects enhance or degrade ecosystems. We assessed carbon and ...

We've officially done the real-deal fieldwork after tree climbing course
@rschwutke.bsky.social and @kieuthuyquynh.bsky.social completed their very first tree climbing work after the training to collect leaves samples. It was a huge, upward-bound step for our research, and we're so ready for more!

Forests can’t regrow if seeds can’t move.

New research shows 60% of tropical regrowth zones have lost the animals that once carried seeds there.

No dispersers, no recovery.

Rewilding isn’t optional: it’s the missing link in climate and restoration plans. 🌱🐦‍⬛ 🦜
