PARCHED - PAnama Rainforest CHanges with Experimental Drying is a rainfall reduction experiment in 4 lowland forests in Panama! https://youtu.be/oDm2SKWHw78 facebook.com/PARCHEDpanama
Nice coverage from CSU Source news hub on our recent @parched-panama.bsky.social study! warnercnr.source.colostate.edu/tropical-for...
New research from my group @parched-panama.bsky.social showing that rainforest drying suppresses root growth and biomass in surface soils, while stimulating deep root production! Let us know what you think! doi.org/10.1111%2Fnp...
New paper from @parched-panama.bsky.social on climate history effects on microbial responses to stress! Differences in similar microbes from Panama vs. Colorado. academic.oup.com/ismej/articl... N Bouskill, S Chacon @daniela-cusack.bsky.social L Dietterich, L Chen, A Khurram, J Voriskova, H Holman
Hooray to recent @parched-panama.bsky.social grad student Amanda Cordeiro on getting out this huge new synthesis on tropical roots, with a focus on responses to drought!
Daniela Cusack@daniela-cusack.bsky.social · last yr.Hooray for our new collaborative tropical root data paper from the @tropiroot.bsky.social team! esajournals-onlinelibrary-wiley-com.ezproxy2.library.colostate.edu/doi/pdf/10.1...
Brunch party to wrap a great @parched-panama.bsky.social research semester with my team at CSU! Processed 192 Panama root biomass samples and another 200+ soil samples!
Congrats to CSU MS student Grace McLaughlin for receiving a Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute Fellowship for her research on @parched-panama.bsky.social rainforest drying effects on soil microbes!
Bravo to our stellar undergad @parched-panama.bsky.social root researchers at Colorado State University ES&S! Maya McCain, Ally Lewis, and Hailey Tharpe have been crushing it all semester!
Submit an abstract about your tropical research and come present in Oaxaca! The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) abstract deadline is Friday! www.atbc2025.org/call-abstracts

Go @parched-panama.bsky.social dry season 2025 field team! Olivia Aaron, Eric Valdes, Grace McLaughlin and Katie Nelson collecting soils, roots, and trace gases!
Today is the deadline for #ESA2025 contributed abstracts! I could definitely use some good time with a giant group of ecologists right about now. If you can, please come meet me in Baltimore and let's chat forests, soils, global change, or anything else ecology-related! esa.org/baltimore202...

Great @parched-panama.bsky.social poster at CSU grad student poster symposium. Drying alters tropical forest tree growth!
Great leadership meeting with @tropiroot.bsky.social this morning! Reach out if you are a tropical root researcher interested in synthesizing and mobilizing your data with us!
www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/u... Well this is bad. I guess I'll still submit my NSF proposal this week?
White House Budget Office Orders Pause in All Federal Loans and Grants
The full extent of the order was not immediately clear, but the directive sent to government agencies on Monday threatened to paralyze a vast swath of federal programs.
