This study documents extensive intraindividual trait variability (variability among repeated units within an individual) within clonal plants for both size-architectural and leaf traits (up to 100% of total). Congrats to @albaanadon.bsky.social and co-authors !

Our new paper led by Yuan in Soil Biology & Biochemistry is out!!!
Natural grasslands promote SOC mainly via plant-derived lignin phenols while legume grasslands enhance SOC mainly via microbial residue carbon. Findings highlight legumes as a key strategy to increase SOC sequestration in drylands.

After a long absence from Twitter, I'm now on Bluesky. Looking forward to sharing thoughts, research, and rants about the lack of attention paid to water. Let's kick this off with a new paper alert. Please share widely. Title says it all. Please help me grow followers www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Unprecedented continental drying, shrinking freshwater availability, and increasing land contributions to sea level rise

Drying continents, extreme drought, and groundwater depletion are shrinking water availability and increasing sea level rise.

A reminder:

There is no analogy in the fossil record for the magnitude & scale of the modern bioinvasion event.

Driven by human activities, species are moving faster, farther, and in greater numbers than at any time in the history of life.

Anthony Ricciardi @ecoinvasions.bsky.social · Nov 17

Climate change is a 'natural' process now occurring ~10 times faster than the average rate after an ice age. Extinction is 'natural' but is now occurring 1000X faster than in past eras (apart from mass extinctions). Biological invasion is now at rates 100000X prehistoric levels of spp colonisations.

📚 Meta-analysis of contrasting responses in plant nitrogen and phosphorus resorption, indicates a decoupling of these cycles. This suggests that plants adapt to nutrient limitations, highlighting the need to incorporate these dynamics into ecological models.🌿👉 buff.ly/ZrB2FBR
