Another great effort and teamwork from the past #WATSON #COST #Action www.watson-cost.eu to show a pan-European #database of #isotope #data in #soil #water and #xylem in #beech and #spruce #trees.

And thank you @lehmannmm.bsky.social for the efficient leadership!
🌳Urban trees keep cooling - even during record-breaking heatwaves! We show that trees maintained high transpiration, defying model predictions. Tree cooling during heat may be underestimated 🌡️💦
Great study led by Christoph Bachofen @wslresearch.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.uf...
Do aquaporins play a key role in regulating leaf gas exchange—especially under unsaturation in the stomatal cavity at high VPD? We think so! Check out our opinion piece in Plant, Cell & Environment with Haoyu Diao and @arthurobuntspecht.bsky.social:

A nice variability between the seedlings of Quercus pubescens from Pfynwald/Switzerland, Barcelona/Spain, and Crete/Greece. Looking forward to test how they cope with heat stress above 40°C

he Forest Soils and Biogeochemistry research unit investigates the impacts of climate change on soil biodiversity, soil functions, and ecosystem processes. The Biogeochemistry research group is looking from June 1, 2025 for a PhD student in Plant Water Relations Extreme droughts and heatwaves are increasingly threatening forest ecosystems in Switzerland, altering water availability and leading to tree stress. The DeepDrought project aims to advance our understanding of plant reliance on deep soil water and its role in mitigating drought stress. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to assess species-specific root water uptake patterns, dendrometer derived tree water deficit, and water use efficiency across Swiss forests using a combination of field observations, stable isotope analyses, and predictive modeling. The PhD candidate will focus on assessing plant reliance on deep soil water and will work closely with a multidisciplinary team across the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow, and Landscape Research (WSL), ETH Zürich, and the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The research will contribute to refining our understanding of plant-water interactions and enhancing climate resilience strategies for Swiss forests. You hold a master’s degree in environmental sciences, hydrology, ecology, forestry, or a related field. Experience with field data collection, particularly soil or plant water measurements, is an asset. A strong background in statistical analysis is desirable. Familiarity with stable isotope data, dendrometry, or soil hydrology is advantageous. Proficiency in programming languages such as R or Python for data analysis and modeling is required. You are highly motivated, independent, and eager to collaborate in an interdisciplinary research team. Excellent English skills are necessary, and knowledge of German or French is a plus but not essential.

One week left to get active in Germany. Go #vote. For #democracy for #climate for our #future. Time to act is now
More than 90% of fossil fuel emissions occurred since my parents were born.
Over 80% since I was born.
Over 30% since my children were born.
And well over 50% since the world agreed at the Rio Earth Summit to prevent dangerous climate change. And I thought: „At last!“
Researchers spend approximately 45% of their time on administrative activities related to #grants rather than actual #research. The current #competition in research #funding has significant drawbacks; evidence-based improvements of the funding system are required: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

@sebiology.bsky.social 🧪 #plantscience
Yeah, nice, we had a similar experiment some years ago, still need to write down another tree isotope paper ;) If interested
@kalimiddleby.bsky.social, we have some cool equipment at WSL, which enabled us to unravel temp and vpd responses, published also in @newphyt.bsky.social
Maybe think about compensating and some homeoffice days to reduce comuting time ;) have a nice weekend!!
