The Tumber-Dávila Lab is REALLY happy to have finished with helping set-up the CLIFF experiment and doing ALL of our soil coring at the site for the summer! Been a crazy busy field season, and now we transition to working in the swamps Kudos to all REUs & trainees
Pine-fungal co-invasion alters whole-ecosystem properties of a native #eucalypt forest 📖 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… by @crvietorisz et al. @WileyPlantSci @JakeNash012 @microsigs #ectomycorrhizal #fungi #leaflitter Illustration by Corinne Vietorisz
So happy for the opportunity to co-lead this collaborative paper with incredible colleagues! Plus interesting new findings on pine-fungal co-invasion 🌲🍄
Excited to share a new paper in New Phytologist that I got to work on as part of a field course in pine-fungal co-invasions in Australia led by Jason Hoeksema with a dream team of collaborators. Vietorisz, Nash, Siggers, et al 2025: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
🦌Tree diversity boosts tree growth, but why? This study shows: foliar chemical diversity influences tree enemies- more diverse forests have more diverse chemicals which attracts more caterpillars but better resists pathogens & deer, driving better growth buff.ly/2Vw8uO0
Today we had our first CLIFF Fest, a potluck to celebrate the completion of the CLIFF forest edge x drought/precipitation experiment with collaborators and friends @HarvardForest Thanks Andy for bringing us all together today and at CLIFF!

Check out this new study by the brilliant @avnimalh0tra who used NEON data to understand continental scale relationships between fine root carbon inputs and soil carbon stocks 🌳🌱🌾

937 GtCO2 would be removed from the atmosphere (12.4 GtCO2 yr−1 on average) from 2025 to 2100 by burying wood debris from managed forests in deep soil if its residence time is lengthened for 2,000 years and 5% CO2 removal discounted for machine operation nature.com/articles/s4156…
