What can sub-daily signatures of sap flow dynamics tell us about plant stress? 🌱💦🌡️ And what would we need to monitor those signatures from space? Check out Anna Schackow’s paper, just off the press in Biogeosciences @egubg.bsky.social bg.copernicus.org/articles/23/...
Detection of tree stress from sub-daily sap flow variability
Abstract. The terrestrial biosphere plays a critical role in regulating carbon and water fluxes. Rising global temperatures increase atmospheric dryness, which in turn raises atmospheric water demand ...

Do you have some ideas on how to improve #EGU or want to meet some of the people behind the scenes of the General Assembly? Are you interested to do Science Communication with EGU or get involved otherwise? Meet the Biogeosciences Division Team today from 12:30 to 1:30 at the EGU booth Hall X2!
Not a conference for me (way too large), but from what I see/hear each year, it's a really thoghtfully organized one in many respects. More of that at smaller conferences as well, please.

The application deadline for the biannual Mary Anning Conference Series is still open until 15th of May! In our new podcast episode 🎙️ @bikem.bsky.social sat down with Lisa Wingate,Tristan Quaife and Catherine Morfopoulos to hear about the Conference that took place last year tinyurl.com/bgmaryanning
On the Mary Anning Conference Series
In this episode of the Biogeosciences podcast series Bikem Ekberzade sat down with the co-organizers of the 2025 Mary Anning Conference, Tristan Quaife and Lisa Wingate, as well as conference participant Catherine Morfopoulos. The conference titled Novel constraints on the coupling between the water and carbon cycles was held in Bordeaux, France. For details on the conference and its presentations, our listeners can visit the event’s website. Also, listeners may find useful tips in the podcast as the guests talk about their journey to hosting this conference as well as their individual experiences. You can listen to the podcast here: Mary Anning Conference Series On the conference series EGU’s Mary Anning Conferences are held every two years and promote novel and innovative research related to biogeochemical cycles in the Earth system. The conferences bring together experienced and early career scientists for an interdisciplinary discussion on all aspects of chemical, physical, and biological processes and their interactions in the atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere and biosphere. The Mary Anning conference was a great way of helping to build community, especially amongst early career scientists. I’d encourage anyone thinking of running a meeting with a specific focus to consider applying for this funding. (Tristan Quaife, former organizer) The Call for Proposals for the Mary Anning conference 2027 is open until May 15 and you can find information on how to apply here.
