Fluvial connectivity drives carbon cycle dynamics in a tropical mega‐delta

Coastal estuaries are hotspots of biogeochemical cycling, biodiversity, and sediment processing, yet the drivers of carbon cycle processes remain poorly constrained. Here, we elucidate the influence ...

Recovering tropical forests is extremely important—not only because they store large amounts of carbon, but also because they provide a home for countless creatures.

‘Blew us away’: Researchers find nitrogen boost spurs faster tropical forest growth

Regenerating tropical forests pull carbon dioxide from the air, but a lack of nitrogen in the soil could slow this process, a new Nature Communications study has found. Restoring tropical forests is w...

Apply for this fully funded PhD studentship in Tropical mountain forest ecology! Join us at University of Liverpool to carry out research on plant range shifts in the cloud forests. With: @fdraper.bsky.social @funkyant.bsky.social @jhomeier.bsky.social. Applications due Jan 21. tinyurl.com/23ary845

Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes. Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

🍁Funding for new PhD students ($40k/yr) & postdocs ($70k/yr) coming from outside Canada. Contact me if interested in #Ecophysiology at #UBC in #Vancouver! Possible topics: leaf physiology, thermal ecology, microclimate, scaling, tree physiology, forest ecology, more! michaletzlab.org Please share!

🌳 Tropical forests can recover twice as quickly after deforestation if they have adequate soil nitrogen, according to new research led by the Uni of Leeds and Priestley members climate.leeds.ac.uk/news/nitroge...

If recovering tropical forests had enough nitrogen in their soils, they could absorb up to an additional 820 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year for a decade, new research from @uofgges.bsky.social reveals. Read more here: www.gla.ac.uk/news/headlin...

Individuals with skills in demographic or species distribution modeling, large language models or functional trait interpolation are encouraged to apply.

Recovering tropical forests grow back ~2x as fast when they have enough nitrogen, says a new @natcomms.nature.com paper coauthored by Cary’s Sarah Batterman. Paper suggests strategies to naturally boost soil N and speed up trees' CO2 absorption for ~10 years www.caryinstitute.org/news-insight...

Recovering tropical forests grow back nearly twice as fast with nitrogen

Nitrogen availability nearly doubles the regrowth rate of young tropical forests, significantly increasing their capacity to absorb carbon dioxide during early recovery stages.

Recovering tropical forests grow back nearly twice as fast with nitrogen

Young tropical forests play a crucial role in slowing climate change. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air, using photosynthesis to build it into their roots, trunks, and branches, where they can store carbon for decades or even centuries.
