@AFEXProject paper led by my PhD student, Hellen Fernanda Viana Cunha & 30 mostly Brazil-based co-authors, is now in the current issue of Nature! With 5 other forest science papers!.
In Nature now--with 5 other forest science research articles! We show forest productivity increases with experimental P addition (but not N/cations/intrxns) in an Amazonian forest. Strong responses in leaf & root production, but absent for wood production

#HydrationMultiplier Just like humans drink electrolytes on hot, dry days during exercise, plants use #phosphorus & #potassium to extend their activities during dry seasons. Read the full article . Congrats @raphmanu & colleagues.

#openaccess sounds like a great model, but it’s only half the battle. We need a system that supports the researchers who lack the institutional funding to publish (on top of the other systemic biases they face), not another roadblock to hurdle.
Preocupante esta tendencia de las revistas científicas de volverse completamente “openaccess”, y que lo digan con orgullo como supuesto mecanismo de reducir desigualdades cuando están haciendo todo lo contrario. Quien puede en Latinoamérica pagar 3 mil dólares para publicar? 😡.
