A survey of Australian sandalwood in WA has revealed that populations are dominated by plants undergoing senescence, reinforcing claims that the species is on a trajectory towards becoming extinct in the wild. #AustralEcology @WileyEcolEvol @EcolSocAus https://t.co/KZ882OVmAT

This summer, we monitored vegetation in alpine herbfields. Following in the footsteps of Maisie Fawcett, this is the 75th year since the start of her study, making it Australia’s 2nd longest running ecological investigation. Tentative title of our paper: “The Plot Thickens”!

Adrienne Nicotra ‘What is plant thermal tolerance and does it matter in a warming world?’ ‘Temperature is cool (🤣) dynamic and it matters!’ Hypothesised extreme environment plants would have broader thermal tolerance but ALL had wide thermal tolerance. #ESASCBO2022

How does fire affect forest carbon stocks when trees can resprout post-fire? This paper led by @lukewarm1981 presents a novel approach that accounts for partial mortality of branches and stems. Standard approaches currently underestimate dead C pools. https://t.co/aFftVJyvUB
