🍁 Heat and drought are reshaping forests. @charlottegrossiord.bsky.social of WSL and EPFL is studying how forests and their ecosystem services are affected. EPFL has now awarded her a permanent associate professorship, congratulations🎉! www.wsl.ch/en/news/wsl-... #forestecol #forest #heat #drought

Have you tuned in to Ep. 332 yet? Margaux Didion-Gency's exciting new research reveals that leaf shape may influence plant heat tolerance, listen to hear more! @creaf.cat @snsf.ch @kateplantphys.bsky.social #heatwave #climatechange #climateextremes #leaves #adaption #Scicomm

Excited to share our new paper on leaf scorching. 🔥Early leaf browning during heat and drought is often interpreted as premature leaf senescence - but it may reflect rapid heat damage. Separating these processes is essential. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @wslresearch.bsky.social

We are celebrating🎊 Our researcher Margaux Didion-Gency was awarded 2nd #Prize for best poster at the NPH47 symposium on Extreme Heat🔥, held in Córdoba, Spain, early June! It is great seeing how our #research is steadily acknowledged in the scientific community. Check the site ➡️ buff.ly/tppK4Hi

Check out @botanykat.bsky.social's awesome new paper!!! 🍃

Katya Isabelle@botanykat.bsky.social · last mo.

Leaf size is an important trait shaping species distributions globally. We looked at how climate and evolutionary history influence leaf size in conifers! Spoiler: lots of evolutionary conservatism!

Well, I guess this is my first ever piece of breaking news - probably the biggest rare plant story in Australia this year. Over at @tasinquirer.bsky.social. tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/very-ex...

New site of critically endangered Tasmanian species found

A group of bushwalkers walking in remote southwest Tasmania has discovered a new population of a critically endangered plant, King’s lomatia.

Job alert: We are looking for a highly motivated doctoral researcher in our CRC @ecosense-sfb-1537.bsky.social to investigate water potential dynamics and water fluxes across the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum 🌳🌲☀️🌧️ Come and join our team @chriswernerlab.bsky.social uni-freiburg.de/stellenangeb...

What happens when trees lose the ability to cool their leaves? 🌳 Although trees can acclimate to heat, drought disrupts thermoregulation, driving a hydraulic–thermal cascade and leaf scorching. 🍂 Just out in PNAS doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Even trees can get serious sunburn. A new study by a WSL-EPFL team shows how #heat and #drought affect #trees and how they sustain damage when the two are combined. This helps us understand how they will react to a changing climate: www.wsl.ch/en/news/when...

When trees get ‘sunburn’

Young trees are able to withstand high temperatures, but only if there is enough water available in the ground.

wsl.ch

🌿🌳Our new paper, led by the brillant @alyssakullberg.bsky.social, shows that trees acclimate to warming by preserving thermoregulation. Yet, with hot droughts, higher thermotolerance cannot compensate when hydraulic stress prevents leaf cooling. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @wslresearch.bsky.social
