Newly published paper from Rwanda TREE in Physiologia Plantarum, where our results suggest a shift towards more ES trees in tropical rainforest under climate warming, as long as drought deciduousness can secure ES species' survival under drier conditions. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pp…

I'm glad to be at the #npnextgen at Duke University presenting my research about #PHT acclimation in tropical trees Rwanda TREE New Phytologist

In partnership with CIFOR-ICRAF, @IPRC_KITABI officially launched a short course training on Design and Application of resilient Landscape Restoration Interventions for Bachelor of Technology in Applied Forestry and Wildlife & Landscape Management students.

Please check this newly published paper from our PhD student Olivier Jean Leonce Manzi, PhD indicating that Canopy temperatures strongly overestimate leaf thermal safety margins of tropical trees. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…
