. open access science paper Global atmospheric methane uptake by upland tree woody surfaces trees don't just absorb CO2 but also methane methane is contributing an extra 26% of anthropogenic greenhouse warming nature.com/articles/s4158… via Prof. Vincent Gauci Alexander Shenkin @barbajosep




Had a super fun conversation with KJZZ Phoenix's Mark Brodie about our discovery of methane uptake in tree bark. Have a listen! kjzz.org/kjzz-news/2024…

We’ve all seen how wind can change the shape of trees, but how does wind impact tropical forests? Our new paper answers that question using purpose-built sensors in Barro Colorado, Panama.

We're looking for a plant ecophysiologist working in natural systems with an eye towards global change. Tenure track hire Wake Forest University in WFU Biology. Fantastic place to live and work--join us! Details here, app review rolling: biology.wfu.edu/faculty-search… ForestPlots



Hey internet hall of fame - are you on bluesky? If so, which is your official account there?






Our new paper in New Phytologist is out today. We investigated the bias involved in woody stem CO2 efflux measurements in tropical forests - including diel and vertical variations, and used TLS to upscale vertical variations and estimate stem surface area nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…
