Logo for the art-science competition described in the post above. The word ‘FLOh!RA’ is written on top of a beige rectangular panel which has rounded ends and is thinly outlined in orange. The letters: F, L, R and A are in light purple text, while ‘Oh!’ is in orange text, making it stand out. Behind the logo on top of a beige background are stylised depictions of flowers and leaves in golden-yellow across three square panels, in a style reminiscent of art- nouveau. This graphic was created by the CREAF communications team.

🥬🌿 #InternshipAlert! MSc in #EnvironmentalEngineering, #PlantPhysiology or #UrbanEcology? Good organizational and quantitative skills? Our Functional Plant Ecology group is looking for an intern for field expeditions to multiple sites across Europe: apply.refline.ch/273855/1827/... #ScienceJobs 🌿🥬

Gentle reminder to fill in the survey on forest disturbance change (below). We have *a lot* of great responses already (thank you!) covering all continents and biomes, but the survey will be open for a few more days! Thanks for making the time, your disturbance expertise is highly appreciated!

Interested in plant-insect herbivores interactions and how temperature shapes their dynamics? Then check out our newly published paper in @newphyt.bsky.social based on my Msc thesis! 🪲🐛🌱🌡
Huge thanks, Thomas, for bringing this study to publication and to all co-authors for the great work!

How do trees respond to #climatechange? The 16 glass chambers of the Model Ecosystem Facility (MODOEK) on the #WSL campus contain miniature ecosystems.

Les arbres urbains restent cool même par canicule Les arbres urbains transpirent bien plus que prévu au-dessus de 39°C, ce qui remet en question les hypothèses sur la régulation thermique.

Looking forward to this experience as a first attendee!

Géniale la BD! 😊

If you never heard about broad-leaved conifers, you absolutely need to read this amazing viewpoint! 🌲🌳
They describe how trees are just too awesome to be put in only two categories and how the misuse of terms can have important implications for our research! 😉

Congrats Helena! 🎉

Phosphorus scarcity contributes to nitrogen limitation in lowland tropical rainforests There is increasing evidence to suggest that soil nutrient availability can limit the carbon sink capacity of forests, a particularly relevant issue considering today's changing climate. This questio...

🌿🔥How heat and VPD shape tree survival? We tested how acclimation to high temperature & VPD impacts drought mortality. While heat speeds up death via leaf area expansion, VPD acclimation slows it down by enhancing stomatal control - balancing mortality timing. doi.org/10.1111/PCE....

What a view from my "new office"!☀️ My 3 months visit to the Chair of Silviculture in #Freiburg (DE) has just started. Profiting from their immense knowledge, I will try to better understand the characteristics and distribution of #mixed beech-oak #forests in Europe. 🌳 Looking forward to the results!
