🌲🌳📰Forest acclimation to climate change is crucial for maintaining ecosystem resilience. Here, we propose a multi-proxy approach based on tree rings and tree-ring isotopes to assess the acclimation processes, essential for detecting ecosystem decline. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Thrilled to see our research featured in @knowablemag’s recent coverage on the ecological impacts of #peace in #Colombia (in short, sad news for the forests 😞). This highlights our review on the evol and distribution of Andean floras! 🌿🏔️ 🔗cell.com/trends/plant-s…
