Using radiocarbon of plants to track inequity in urban environments 📖nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pp… Brief report by Heskel et al. @maryheskel Macalester College

When and where can coastal wetland restoration increase carbon sequestration as a natural climate solution? Out now in Cambridge Prisms, led by Scott Jones, with Ariane Arias-Ortiz @steffi_nolte @KerryleeRogers_ Roberts Lab et al. Read it here: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

🧐Have you ever wondered if the interactions among tree🌳 seedlings🌱 & mycorrhizal fungi 🍄 may facilitate or impede tree migrations under changing climate❓If so, check out the new Ecological Monographs paper below by @JordonTourville SUNY ESF SUNY - The State University of New York, now Appalachian Mtn Club. Congrats Jordon!

Some ecosystems track #climatechange pretty well—but what does that mean for #biodiversity? Very cool grassland #thermophilization and #xerophilization paper from Kai Zhu's lab! nature.com/articles/s4155… news.umich.edu/grasslands-liv…

I am beside myself at this news. That literally overnight, one of the region's largest transit projects just doubled in length in a move no one saw coming. No years of studies and engagement and agitating for funding. Metro Transit just did it. THIS IS HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK!

"Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life."

Voted! Get out there and vote too!

Science has a hypothesis-testing part, but it has an equally crucial ‘night science’ mode, where new ideas are improvised for the first time.

The most powerful message to young men in the entire campaign

An abundance of white oak seedlings are popping up in the Arboretum’s East Woods. Arboretum tree expert Andrew Hipp explains why. #Trees #WhiteOaks #MastYear #Acorns #Seedlings #MortonArboretum

Super important to remember that if you have some yard, you too can contribute to enhancing biodiversity on a small but important scale. academic.oup.com/bioscience/art…

Harvard vs Duke: A study in contrasting views on biodiversity research

This parasitoid, likely Minotetrastichus sp., is ovipositing an egg in the larva of the horse chestnut leaf miner moth! It is like aliens - the parasitoid will consume the moth larva from the inside! #barbie #scicomm #entomology #biologicalcontrol #forestry #urbanforest #insects

Fellow voters! Please please check your polling place online before you go #vote! Don’t assume you should go to where you voted last time! Voting places do change! It’s very common for people to show up at the wrong place, wasting time.. check vote.org/polling-place-… now!!

Like so many research projects, my peat-free potting soil grant ended up yielding secondary lessons--like the importance of nitrogen in a soil mix (50ppm in front set of rows vs 340ppm in back of trays--10-16 days after sowing)
