So great to see everyone online and brainstorm new initiatives to keep the @TropiRoot network actively pushing tropical root ecology forward

This is why I always think of root research as a treasure hunt! Even in the lab we have to keep innovating to uncover the mysteries that lie below

#TeamUnderground just published our first group paper! We show that 2ndary forests, with higher fine root biomass & soil temps, emit more soil CO2 than old-growth forests. @nanetteraczka Lee Ming Yang chung-wing | 高仲穎 Madeleine Koeniger Asian School Of The Environment NTU College of Science

Congrats Lee Ming Yang on your first first author paper! Taking #root ecology in SE Asia to the next level. Look forward to filling in those knowledge gaps identified in your paper!

Interested in our bi-weekly journal club, which is focused on global terrestrial ecosystems, and interactions with climate? It now has a twitter account! Terrestrial Ecosystems Journal Club Follow to get a heads up on what paper we'll be discussing ... all are welcome to join!

Such a fun and productive #belowground #restoration workshop! So great to connect & reconnect with friends & scientists in @TropiRoot & beyond. Thanks Laura Toro @michellewongca for organising @LSComita Simon Queenborough for hosting dinner.

Congrats Mareli Sanchez-Julia It has been so fun to see you succeed and take #tropical #root #ecology to the next level! Looking forward to your next steps! @TropiRoot has a new Dr in its membership 🥳

Pleased to announce the second Tropical Peatlands: Past, Present, Uncertain Future session will take place at #EGU2024 European Geosciences Union. Abstracts welcomed! Info here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/…

For those following the ongoing saga of Priyanga Amarasekare—a major update. She speaks out, addressing all charges! This would make for a dramatic novel or Netflix series. But no, it’s the life of our brilliant and deeply caring colleague and friend pamarasekare.org

Raphael Manu Uni Göttingen News & Views on this paper by Kelly M Andersen: nature.com/articles/s4156…

#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 nature.com/articles/s4156… Congrats Raphael Manu & colleagues

Super excited to join this amazing team and welcome a new colleague in the near future!

Our new paper shows that experimental warming and drying increases the age of #carbon in #soil CO2 efflux in tropical forest.

What determines transfer of carbon from plants to mycorrhizal fungi? For the past 2 years, we debated this question. And I mean debated. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… #TansleyReview New Phytologist 1/n
