Grateful to see our paper featured in an Eos Research Spotlight, “How Plant–Fungi Friendships Are Changing.” Cool title!
Eos@eos.org · 11mo agoMycorrhizal fungi provide plants with nitrogen, but in exchange they take up to half the carbon plants pull from the atmosphere. In a new study, researchers investigate how the environment influences this give-and-take.
New paper! 📢 Our paper on modeling mycorrhizal carbon costs is out in @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social Running the Myco-CORPSE model across 1800+ eastern U.S. forest sites, we validated modeled tree C allocation to AM & ECM fungi against literature data — the first such test ever! 🌲🍄 doi.org/10.1029/2025...

The Conversation article that @avnimalh0tra.bsky.social and I wrote about the PeatPic Project and the power of harnessing people, community science and the importance of research networks is now online too theconversation.com/harnessing-t... #Peatlands #PeatColour
Harnessing technology and global collaboration to understand peatlands
The PeatPic Project used over 3,700 smartphone photographs from 27 peatlands in 10 countries to gather data about how climate change is impacting them.

Dr Scott J. Davidson@wetlandresilienceresearchgroup.com · 11mo ago🚨New Paper 🚨 The PeatPic Project: Predicting plot-scale green leaf #phenology across #peatlands So happy to see this paper online — one of my favourite projects! We explored how to capture how peatlands change colour using smartphones and community science! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
