Testing Eco-Evolutionary Theory: How Tropical Forest Traits vary with Dryness - Lemontree

Blog written by LEMONTREE associate Huanyuan Zhang-Zheng on Eco-Evolutionary Optimality theory predicts how plant functional traits vary with wet-dry environments.

This was the first chapter of my PhD but we spent a long long time on reviewing and revising (which indeed greatly improved the quality). This is where we need nice supervisors and coauthors who keep encouraging me regardless of peer criticism and rejection! Also C.Bio. has very good author service!

Testing ecophysiological theory using tree traits along a vapour pressure deficit (VPD) gradient shows, as predicted, that photosynthetic capacity is higher at higher VPD sites. Contrary to the predictions, potential water conductivity tends to increase with higher VPD. doi.org/10.1038/s420...

After 8 years of continuous monitoring we have published the first results of our long term CerFogo experimental fire project as part of @navarrosales.bsky.social PhD thesis. Very happy to see this milestone accomplished! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The effect of fire on the carbon fluxes and productivity of Brazilian woodland savannas

The effects of altered fire regimes within open ecosystems are poorly understood and can have serious consequences on functioning and conservation acr…

I was googling “low carbon life style”. Guess what is the most effective individual action to reduce carbon foot print? Source: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... Such anti-biology surprise. (Note the Y-axis scale jump)

This is my favourite chapter of PhD. It joins the photosynthesis traits dataset (Asat) with biometric GPP dataset using a photosynthesis model! Sorry this is my first post on Bluesky (just left X) and not sure how to write # and @. But the professor said: at least used the magic emoji 🧪🧪🧪

West African tropical forest have the highest productivity we have yet observed anywhere in the tropics, yet both models commonly fail to capture this productivity. In this new paper on Nature Communications we explain why… ⁦⁦⁦⁦⁦ www.nature.com/articles/s41... @naturerecovery.bsky.social
