Another great effort and teamwork from the past #WATSON #COST #Action www.watson-cost.eu to show a pan-European #database of #isotope #data in #soil #water and #xylem in #beech and #spruce #trees. essd.copernicus.org/articles/17/... And thank you @lehmannmm.bsky.social for the efficient leadership!

🌳Urban trees keep cooling - even during record-breaking heatwaves! We show that trees maintained high transpiration, defying model predictions. Tree cooling during heat may be underestimated 🌡️💦 Great study led by Christoph Bachofen @wslresearch.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.uf...

Do aquaporins play a key role in regulating leaf gas exchange—especially under unsaturation in the stomatal cavity at high VPD? We think so! Check out our opinion piece in Plant, Cell & Environment with Haoyu Diao and @arthurobuntspecht.bsky.social: 📄 doi.org/10.1111/pce....

A nice variability between the seedlings of Quercus pubescens from Pfynwald/Switzerland, Barcelona/Spain, and Crete/Greece. Looking forward to test how they cope with heat stress above 40°C

Globale Umverteilung von Wasser: Die Erde trocknet aus

Erstmals lässt sich aufzeigen, wie der Klimawandel den globalen Wasserkreislauf verändert. In Südeuropa hat die Bildung von Wüsten laut Forschenden bereits begonnen.

One week left to get active in Germany. Go #vote. For #democracy for #climate for our #future. Time to act is now

More than 90% of fossil fuel emissions occurred since my parents were born. Over 80% since I was born. Over 30% since my children were born. And well over 50% since the world agreed at the Rio Earth Summit to prevent dangerous climate change. And I thought: „At last!“

Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
