Really excited to share our new paper out today in Nature, led by Alex Fajardo. We show that exotic conifers grow up to 4x faster than in their native ranges. Despite this, they are also more drought resistant, defying a tradeoff between growth and stress tolerance. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Only a couple weeks left to apply for this postdoc opportunity with me and @michael-gundale.bsky.social. If you're interested in biological nitrogen fixation and interactions among diazotrophs, fungi, and plants in boreal forests, then this could be for you!

Please share. We are looking for a post doc to work on N fixation.

New Paper! We quantify changes in global albedo from 2001. Land surface reflectivity has changed Earth’s albedo for >10% of global land from 2001 to 2020, producing darkening equivalent to 7.0% of CO2-induced warming. Strong tundra and desert signals. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Changing Regional Land Surface Albedos Alter the Planetary Albedo During the Twenty‐First Century

Global regions with changes in top-of-atmosphere (TOA) albedo primarily driven by changes in land surface reflectivity were identified Earth's albedo has changed for more than 10% of the global l...

A new paper on Deadwood fungal diversity out today, lead author @vincentbuness.bsky.social. We show that deadwood quantity, quality, and forest harvesting control deadwood fungal diversity. Old unmanaged forests are very important reservoirs for fungal diversity, especially red listed taxa.

New paper out in Journal of Ecology! How do wood-inhabiting fungi recover after disturbance in boreal forests? We compared 2 chronosequences: 🔥 unmanaged fire (4–375 yrs) 🪓 managed clear-cut (1–109 yrs) Very different diversity trajectories! 👇 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Very nice that KAW shared this, and provided support for the study.

Trots årtionden av utsläpp och övergödning har träden i nordliga barrskogar en minskande tillgång på kväve. Detta hänger ihop med en ökande koldioxidhalt i atmosfären, visar nu forskare från SLU #forskning med stöd av Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Stiftelse #skog tinyurl.com/4vspzs4y

I am really excited to share our new paper, published today in Nature. We show that rising atmospheric CO2 is linked to decling nutrient availability in boreal forest, with implications for the future carbon sink. Kudos to lead author @kelleyrbassett.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As someone who grew up in the Twin Cities, I truly love seeing 10’s of thousands of Minnesotans out in -20C weather protesting fascism. So proud of Minnesota.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!
