Neighbourhood Diversity Effects on Tree Growth Shift Over Time in a Long‐Term Forest Biodiversity Experiment
The study shows that neighbourhood tree species richness generates intricate feedbacks on individual tree growth, helping clarify why scaling up from individual-level to community-level tree species ...

Had a wonderful time at the @worldbioforum.bsky.social in Davos ☀️🏔️ Can’t wait to see all the interesting talks becoming incredible papers
Last week #root #science went to Como 🌱🇮🇹 Srijna Saxena, Michelle ter Huurne and Dr Anvar Sanaei joined #WoodyRoots9 @woodyroots.bsky.social to share fresh work on root economics, drought responses and plant hydraulics.
Excited to share our research at #EGU26! 🌍📊 Our group member @lsachsenmaier.bsky.social and Dr. Anvar Sanaei presented on stomatal regulation and root economics. Thanks to everyone who stopped by! 🌱 #EGUconference #biodiversity #research
Successful fieldwork in the MataDIV tree diversity experiment in Brazil for TreeDì project “Worldwide synthesis of responses of leaf fungi to local tree diversity”. Many thanks to the staff of the Itatinga experimental station for their support.
Last week was a special one ✨ Super grateful to receive the Dorothea Erxleben Doctoral Dissertation Award 2026 of @unihalle.bsky.social! Thanks to @treedi.bsky.social and everyone who supported me along the way. This really means a lot! 🍃

Hydro‐Functional Traits and Their Dissimilarity to the Neighbourhood Buffer Tree Growth Against the 2018–2020 Central European Drought
Climate change is putting forests at risk. Our research shows that a tree's water-use strategy largely determines its growth across years: whereas one strategy performs better in normal years, the ot....
