Our new paper is out today @newphyt.bsky.social We investigated the bias involved in woody stem CO2 efflux measurements in tropical forests - including diel and vertical variations, and used TLS to upscale vertical variations and estimate stem surface area nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Investigating the accuracy of tropical woody stem CO2 efflux estimates: scaling methods, and vertical and diel variation

Stem CO2 efflux (EA) significantly contributes to autotrophic and ecosystem respiration in tropical forests, but field methodologies often introduce biases and uncertainty. This study evaluates thes...

Woody respiration is an important but unconstrained process in the forest carbon cycle. @mariabmills.bsky.social made real progress in Malaysian Borneo using lasers and climbing giants, so that you don't have to! She came away with great insights. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Trying to come up with the words to say. I'm terrified for our students. We just received an email that an international grad student at UMN has been detained. Minnesota has laws stating police are not required to provide info to ICE. Admin claims no info was given. How can we protect our people?

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

One of the more remarkable and surprising studies I’ve read in quite a while!

Getting hit by lightning is usually bad news, but a new study led by Cary's Evan Gora reveals a tree species that actually benefits from ⚡️ strikes, and may have evolved to act as a natural lightning rod. @newphyt.bsky.social www.caryinstitute.org/news-insight...
