First conference ever in my PhD life halfway across the globe! Looking forward to presenting my preliminary analysis of root trait data from SEA dipterocarp forest species at #ATBC2022 in Cartagena de Indias! Team Underground

The FIRST ever public presentation of my Honours thesis on Tropical Urban Ectomycorrhizas! It was a privilege to share my results with the @NTU_ASE ecology team and thanks Lee Ming Yang for the invitation!

20 mths, 87 visits, traced roots of 171 trees w/ soil samples across 33 species... But today I'm finally done with sampling! 🥳 Thanks to the colleagues and undergrads of Team Underground who helped out in this sampling effort :) Time to churn out some root traits data!

We thank the reviewers for their suggestions and believe they have substantially improved the paper

A PhD in ecology is basically a battle of attrition with n samples But today after over 2 mths I'M DONE SIEVING AND GRINDING MY SOIL BABIES 🥳

Brilliant demonstration of how soil organisms decompose, fertilize & recycle. No soil #biodiversity and …the system stops (and so soil health by the way!) via @WWF_SpecEnvoy

#Root traits presentation by Lee Ming Yang adding to a morning of excellent #ecology talks at #npnextgen @NTU_ASE NTU College of Science Kelly M Andersen

Starting to compile a list of #postdoc fellowships due this Fall, mostly related to #ecology and #conservation. Feel free to suggest others I could add here quantmarineecolab.github.io/join/#postdoct…

The tropics don't give up their (mycorrhizal) secrets easily...check out how dark the roots remain even after autoclaving in 10% NaOH for 1/2 hr!

#TeamUnderground just published our first group paper! We show that 2ndary forests, with higher fine root biomass & soil temps, emit more soil CO2 than old-growth forests. @nanetteraczka Lee Ming Yang chung-wing | 高仲穎 Madeleine Koeniger Asian School Of The Environment NTU College of Science

Happy to share that our commentary on integrating belowground processes to improve restoration success is finally out! 🥳 Biotropica This is a consolidation of ideas from ATBC 2022 involving belowground researchers working across all of the tropics! doi.org/10.1111/btp.13…

Thanks J. Aᴀʀᴏɴ Hᴏɢᴀɴ for the shoutout! Today at #ESA2024 I presented results from a novel simple and complex P depletion experiment that showed root traits poorly predicted in-situ net P uptake rates! Hmu if anyone wants to know more :) Asian School Of The Environment

How useless are ecological papers? I got curious and did some digging to find out! Check it out on my personal blog on my thoughts on ecology (and other stuff in life)! forestandfaith.org/2025/06/16/is-…
