The Impact of a Simple Representation of Non-Structural Carbohydrates on the Simulated Response of Tropical Forests to Drought biogeosciences-discuss.net/bg-2019-452/ by Simon Jones, @DocAHarper, Lucy Rowland et al.

Robust Ecosystem Demography (RED): a parsimonious approach to modelling vegetation dynamics in Earth System Models geosci-model-dev-discuss.net/gmd-2019-300/ Arthur Argles

It turns out a PhD in plant modelling just about qualifies you to hold stuff for real ecologists in the lab. Thanks to David Bartholomew for showing me part of the process for analysing NSC concentrations in tree cores at the University of Campinas!

@rosie_a_fisher @RolandSeferian we're currently having a 2-hub + online hybrid event between UK and Brazil. This has reduced travel, but also allows 1-2-1 interaction. Working so far -but yes we are learning how to do hybrid better. We certainly shouldn't revert to a "all must travel" regime

📰Published! 📰 Our article on the drivers of #hydraulic traits in Bornean dipterocarps is now published and fully formatted in New Phytologist. Full text here: 👉 doi.org/10.1111/nph.18… What did we find? A thread...🧵

Our new study evaluating soil carbon simulation in CMIP6 has been published today in Biogeosciences 🦠🌳🌍 Thank you to my co-authors Peter Cox, Dr. Sarah Chadburn & Eleanor Burke! 4C Climate Carbon H2020 Research at Exeter Met Office Science European Research Council (ERC) @UniOfExeterESE Global Systems Institute bg.copernicus.org/articles/19/46…

Cool new paper from Simon Jones, which applies control theory to the modelling of plant stomatal conductance. Exeter University Mathematics Global Systems Institute frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Why does plant respiration decay overnight? Simon Jones provides an answer in this elegant modelling paper, with Dan Bruhn, Lina Mercado, Nina Raoult Exeter University Mathematics Global Systems Institute doi.org/10.1038/s43247…

I may go on about non-structural carbohydrates but you have to admit they do quite neatly explain declines in nocturnal plant respiration. Read more in my new paper with Peter Cox, Lina Mercado, Dan Bruhn and Nina Raoult published with Springer Nature. nature.com/articles/s4324…

My final PhD paper has been published in Biogeosciences this week 🌍 The study is Part 3 of our 'Soil Carbon in CMIP6' series, defining feedbacks to CO2 (β) and global warming (γ) 🌳🦠 With co-authors Peter Cox Pierre Friedlingstein Dr. Sarah Chadburn Eleanor Burke See more➡️ doi.org/10.5194/bg-21-…

Our ambitious experiment in the Amazon rainforest - ⁦AmazonFACE⁩ 6 rings of towers: 3 will keep CO2 levels within them high so we can study how rainforest trees respond. eg. does growth keep increasing at high CO2? Crucial knowledge for calculating future carbon budgets
