#InvasivePlants change ecosystems! Ecosystems with more invasive species have faster leaf and root traits, are shorter, shallower, and less reliant on mycorrhizae. Paper by @MagdaGarbowski in @PNASNews Check out this amazing video summary.

New paper out in PNAS. We show how trait differences between native and introduced plants shift the functional composition of plant communities across the United States

Economies impact ecosystems locally but externalities due to these impacts can be felt regionally & globally. How do we deal with this complexity? 👇 The missing markets link in global-to-local-to-global analyses of #biodiversity and ecosystem services https://t.co/TVN6swKoGK

The 1st project I started in grad school back in 2015 and my final dissertation chapter is now out @ESAEcology! We used a 1960s common garden of red oak to test for differences in phenological sensitivity to climate change. See the early view version here:

In a changing climate, the future survival and productivity of species rely on individual populations to respond to shifting environmental conditions. Many tree species, including northern red oak...

Ok, friends, today's the day*: we've reached 8 billion people. Where and when will we peak? How do we sustain Earth's biodiversity and climate AND bring up the quality of life in many regions? Lots for people to work on here. *approximately https://t.co/NECXnVuxep

Recently there have been a lot of news stories about residents suing offshore wind projects. But most stories fail to mention an important detail: Many of the lawsuits are being funded by a think tank that gets money from the fossil fuel industry. 🧵 https://t.co/Y0dVorBwbi

Shortly after he took office, President Biden announced a goal of building 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind by 2030, enough clean energy to power 10 million homes.

Like many of you, I'm frustrated with the new owner's actions here. Trying out @DukesJeff@ecoevo.social on Mastodon. Not deleting things here quite yet. In the meantime, 💚 and wishing those of you in Egypt a happy and fruitful #COP27!

A dark money group is running ads promoting fossil fuels and attacking clean energy in the final weeks before the election. The PAC has spent more than $1 million to reach voters in 7 swing states. And someone just sent me documents revealing who's funding it. 🧵

Stanford’s new sustainability school is not without controversy; the #StanfordGEF was visited by some creative and polite protesters, particularly unhappy about the ExxonMobil CEO and Exxon funding for the school.

I want @Google to be delivering emissions reductions that are 1000X our footprint, says @michael_terrell at #StanfordGEF: Companies need to have ambitious goals that go well beyond their four walls.

At #StanfordGEF, @lucasjoppa says any companies that take sustainability seriously are constantly reevaluating and updating their goals to increase ambition as they see needs and opportunities. You can’t set a goal and be done.
