Super happy to see our new paper out in New Phytologist, we show how plant carbon costs are modulated by plant nutrient acquisition strategy nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Leaf sheep (Costasiella kuroshimae), a species of sea slug, retains the chloroplasts from algae they graze on to perform photosynthesis, a process known as kleptoplasty. 📽: undersea_gameqmi

Here’s my new review-perspective on traits, phenotypes and various entanglements @IMBIVCONICETUNC @CONICETDialoga @oxmartinschool @TryPlantTraitDB

⭐️2025 Calow-Grace Review⭐️ Plant functional traits & the entangled phenotype - @sdiazecology reviews concepts that have long been at the core of #ecology & #evolutionary #biology but are at risk of being increasingly ignored fesummaries.wordpress.com/2025/02/26/pla…

Soil resource acquisition strategy modulates global plant nutrient and water economics Cheaib et al. 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/NK6QXNN7…

New paper out on Global Change Biology! 🌍🌱The new semi-empirical soil moisture function we derived reflects plants’ climate-adapted optimal water-use strategies. Check it out👇

Check out this blog post summarizing main findings from our recent paper looking at leaf and whole-plant responses to elevated CO2!

🌿🌍 New research by @GiuliaMengoli reveals how plants in arid climates adjust carbon uptake as soil moisture declines. A new empirical function improves predictions of water stress impacts on ecosystems & climate models! 🔗Read more: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc… @GlobalChangeBio

@AlissarCheaib and Nabil Killiny review how pathogens disrupt photosynthesis, from tissue destruction to chlorosis, and how plants adapt. Understanding these interactions is essential for #sustainableagriculture and ecosystem health. ☀️🌱 Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-0…

I'm happy to share this review on C-N cycling. It was a fun one to work on and will hopefully help move the field forward. Great work by @SteniBocker and the @Lemontree_UofR team!

Happy to share that our new paper, titled "Symbiotic nitrogen fixation reduces belowground biomass carbon costs of nitrogen acquisition under low, but not high, nitrogen availability", is now out in @AoB_PLANTS! academic.oup.com/aobpla/advance…

🌿 A sum up of our inspiring #LEMONTREE Annual Meeting 2024! With exciting research updates and our first ECR Summer School, the team’s collaboration is driving advancements in Earth System Models. 🌍 Read more: research.reading.ac.uk/lemontree/lemo… #ClimateScience #ECR #EarthSystemModels

Delighted for LEMONTREE's Jan Lankhorst to start his secondment at @TexasTech with @nick_greg_smith & @AlissarCheaib. He will be there until late Nov to study soil resource dynamics and plant processes, potentially refining the P-Model. Good luck Jan! @Hugo_deBoer @karinrebel
