Watch Leaves Change Color in a Matter of Seconds: buff.ly/308BZLc 🍁🍃 A new time-lapse video of over 6,000 leaf photos reveals the biology behind fall foliage #plantsci #timelapse

Our group just published in Journal of Ecology! Here Elaine Ribeiro and co-authors revealed that chronic anthropogenic disturbances affect adult plants by decreasing their functional space and increasing acquisitive strategies in seasonally tropical dry forests bit.ly/2Hulsdh

Professor of Ecosystem Science and Oriel Fellow Yadvinder Malhi answers readers' questions about the Amazon fires. bbc.co.uk/news/world-lat…

Yesterday I was live on BBC debating the #AmazonFires and Brazilian sovereignty over its share of the Amazon. International help can reduce the fires, but the underlying cause of them is rampant #deforestation and that's what needs to be addressed to avoid the same issues in 2020

There’s no doubt that Brazil’s fires are linked to deforestation, scientists say sciencemag.org/news/2019/08/t…

So proud of our team! 💪🌳🌎 #AmazonFACE

88 meter high tree discovered in the Brazilian state of Pará is a height record for an Amazon tree — 24 stories high! The species is Dinizia excelsa, which I spent 4 years of my PhD mapping and climbing. #Fabaceae g1.globo.com/natureza/notic…

"O desmatamento da Amazônia já é grande o suficiente para influenciar o clima da região. Tem uma expansão da estação seca de três semanas. E quem planta sabe dos problemas de se ter uma janela de plantio menor." Paulo Brando - pesquisador do Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental (IPAM) na Câmara dos Deputados

The first scientist was a woman! The term was coined for Mary Somerville, to avoid calling her a 'man of science'. I learned something new, Magdalena Skipper --thanks for the inspiring talk and the visit Network Science Institute !

We don’t really know what’s ultimately driving leaf shape evolution. we have a few good ideas though, one was recently investigated by Higuchi and Kawakita: weevils prefer non-lobed leaves which might explain some pressure to create lobed leaves. New post: plantsandpipettes.com/how-the-leaf-g…

Very cool to see the structure of a Brazilian cerrado (savanna) in glorious 3D! Natural Environment Research Council
