Check out our new paper in @GlobalChangeBio titled "Acclimation of Photosynthesis to CO2 Increases Ecosystem Carbon Storage due to Leaf Nitrogen Savings" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…
Curious about how plant pathogens impact photosynthesis ? Thrilled to see our review article accepted and out on First look at @MPMIjournal You can read the unformatted version here apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/MP…
Hey Red Raider fans, if you’re out tailgating, save your cans! We’re out collecting aluminum recycling. Go Tech!! @TexasTech @TechAthletics @TTUClimate @TTUAB

The latest blog is live- Colin Prentice and the LEMONTREE team explore remote sensing and vegetation carbon uptake in @NatRevEarthEnv. Check it out: research.reading.ac.uk/lemontree/natu…
Another paper by the team to check out in @GlobalChangeBio! Congrats to @nick_greg_smith @trevorkeenan, Qing Zhu and William Riley. #leafnitrogen #photosynthesis

N affects the C cycle. But how? Although N cycling is now included in many global vegetation models, C cycle trends remain uncertain. We demonstrate how theory predicts widely observed patterns in experiments and traits data - ready for adoption in models. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/WKJR6FNB…
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!
It's out! 🚨 A new Tansley Review by @SteniBocker et al. in @NewPhyt on carbon and nitrogen cycles 🌍 Essential reading- add it to your must reads! Check it out: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… @karinrebel @Hugo_deBoer @EvanPerkowski @biodning @nick_greg_smith @huiying_xu @WangHanSci

Our lab is looking for a Ph.D. student and a postdoctoral scientist to join us at @UWMadison. Check out details here: tinyurl.com/gcrl24 We appreciate your RT!
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…
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

Good news, everyone! Our new paper, out now in @Ecol_Evol provides evidence that scientists can increase their citation rates by publicly sharing their code! Even better, you get a larger increase by meeting other #OpenScience criteria! @rOpenSci onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ec…
We are so grateful to the dedication and hard work of all our ECRs so it's great to have them in Utrecht at our annual meeting. Connection, Collaboration and Career Development #earlycareerresearchers #ECRs #CareerDevelopment #PhDlife
