Leaf carbon monoxide emissions under different drought, heat, and light conditions Muller et al. 📖 https://t.co/PUdETWxVgv

Jonathan’s efforts to add a new angle to our field-base continues gas exchange measurements paid off finally!

Check out my new publication: We found that plant leaves emit carbon monoxide under stress, and due to closed stomata, CO accumulates inside leaves of droughted plants but high stomatal conductance leads to a larger CO flux.

One of a kind… testing new stuff in the old (24 y) Yatir flux tower out in the drylands

מכון וולקני היה, ויהיה, אבן יסוד בפיתוח החקלאות הישראלית. כיום המחקר במכון מבוסס חדשנות ויצירתיות לקידום חקלאות משמרת, מדייקת ותומכת סביבה כחלק ממארג המזון בארץ. הצלחת המכון היא הצלחת כולנו - החקלאים החקלאות והציונות.

A ray of light in these difficult times. Zheng and Junjing met in the EPS department and now they tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony. Congratulations to the happy couple!

Photovoltaic fields largely outperform afforestation efficiency in global climate change mitigation strategies https://t.co/HkufTqvCeb Lab is not really functional these days, but exciting papers still come out. Congrats Rafael (in Brazil), and Jonathan (in South Africa)!

Complicated times here, but we must still congratulate Nikos for finally having our terrific Greece-Israel collaboration on forest response to climate change in the Eastern Med. Many happy returns, Nikos!

We are deeply saddened to announce that our friend and colleague, Dr. Marcel Frailich Kaplun from the Department of Science Teaching, was murdered in the terrorist attack on Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7. The Weizmann community is standing by Marcel's family at this difficult time,

I have so many pictures like this one with my own family. This is unfathomable. The Kedem family was slaughtered by Hamas terrorists in their home, like many many other families. Their daughters were 6 years old, their son was 4 years old

Happy to share that after a long long time, work, multiple iterations and a lot of detrmenation, our paper about decoupling VPD and soil moisture is finally out in @PlantCellEnvir. #ecophys, #drylands. @dan_yakir, @JoseLab16,@PlantEcoLab, @j_d_mueller,etc

Evaluating the reliability of a permanent eddy covariance (EC) flux tower in representing a whole forest is a key challenge in ecosystem studies. The Yakir group used long-term data from Yatir forest to show the EC tower is doing a "good job": https://t.co/IaEjq2bwUz

Does your flux tower represent your forest? Our does, says Huanhuan in her last PhD chapter. Congratulations! AddThis | Home

Jonathan's great field (!) work is finally out. Congrats! https://t.co/fQ69rvum6n

Check out our new article on the leaf energy budget, and how leaves deal with heat under drought

הכירו את פרופ' חגית אפק, בוגרת המחלקה בקבוצתו של פרופ' דן יקיר חגית אפק התחילה את דרכה האקדמית אצל פרופ' דן יקיר במחלקה למדעי כדה"א וכוכבי הלכת במכון ויצמן. היום חגית היא פרופ' חבר במחלקה למדעי כדה"א באוניברסיטה העברית בירושלים. לכתבה המלאה: https://t.co/H3WdwRlb6k

Just out, exciting insights obtained with a mobile flux lab, extending the perspective from sparse flux towers (note e.g., the long-wave suppression effect doubling the albedo effect).

The time for the climatic benefits of afforestation via carbon-sequestration to offset the warming effects of reduced albedo and longwave radiation emission varies greatly across short distances. https://t.co/ku8J5ckpbV
