Mosaic of Size‐Dependent Mortality in Three Ecologically and Economically Important Pine Species Reveals Patterns Across Space and Time

Aim Global forests face increasing stresses from novel climate states, altered disturbance regimes and the spread of pests and pathogens. Understanding where and when mortality occurs across species...

Negative density dependence persisted for up to 5 years after tree death, but with interspecific variation. Although stabilising niche differences were large, fitness differences–at the seedling life...

A crucial store of carbon in Australia’s tropical forests has switched from carbon sink to carbon source

The woody biomass of Australia’s tropical rainforests has already switched from carbon sink to carbon source – and the reason is climate change.

New paper out in @natureecoevo.bsky.social, led by Bruno Pinho, showing how human disruption is driving 'winner' and 'loser' #tree species shifts across tropical forests. ➡️ Fast-growing / small-seeded species dominating Brazilian forests were levels of deforestation and degradation are high.

Felipe Melo@fplmelo.bsky.social · 2y ago

In this paper, we elucidate the mechanism of “winner-loser replacement” that occurs in tropical landscapes when they become fragmented and subjected to other human-caused disturbances and disentangle the effects of landscape structure and local degradation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What a pleasure to be at #BES2024! Great presentations and people, but also lots of fun! I enjoyed presenting a poster on tropical #tree #demography and #ClimateChange, and discussing with colleagues, as well as people I met for the first time. My bowling 🎳, however, still needs a lot of work... 🙈

Oxford Ecosystems@oxfordecosystems.bsky.social · 2y ago

Day two was packed with fantastic talks, poster presentations and fun activities! We can’t believe that we are already at the final day of #BES2024!

We've created an Ecosystems starter pack. Follow news directly from our associated researchers and centres easily. go.bsky.app/PbeNyob

Foundations and future directions for causal inference in ecological research, forthcoming w/ @katherinesiegel.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/4mm57zzd. We wrote it based on our experience teaching causal inference to ecologists w/ some stuff we wish other papers had reviewed to share w/ the students 1/n

What a great first day of #BES2024! The turn out to our talks was incredible, thank you for your feedback and questions! We learnt so much from the other sessions and talks during the day. Day two, let's go! @ymalhi.bsky.social @jedsol.bsky.social @davbauman.bsky.social @navarrosales.bsky.social

I was thrilled to give a seminar at @kewgardens.bsky.social last Fri, to discuss #tree #demography as a lens into tropical forest responses to #ClimateChange. It was great to meet colleagues, and to enjoy the oh-so-beautiful greenhouses 🌳🌴🌸🌵! 🙏 to Guillaume Delhaye for the invitation/organisation!

Lovely and nostalgic time visiting friends and colleagues at the @oxfordecosystems.bsky.social lab. Had the pleasure to present new results on tropical #tree growth and its cause-effect relations to climate anomalies across tropical climates. Always such a friendly and stimulating environment! 🌳🌡️☀️
