Press release for an important new SWELTR paper about soil warming effects in lowland tropical forest: nature.com/articles/s4156… Warming decreased microbial diversity, and the rate of increase in respiratory CO2 loss exceeded predictions Smithsonian Panama STRIAcademicPrograms #Panama

Estamos felices y muy agradecidos con La Prensa Panamá por cubrir nuestro estudio sobre los impactos del cambio climático en los suelos tropicales. Suelos tropicales son altamente sensibles al calentamiento global prensa.com/vivir/suelos-t…



Congratulations STRI short-term fellow Esther Velasquez - exciting new research at SWELTR. Thanks to STRIAcademicPrograms for organising the symposium and to Caroline Bacquet for the inspiring keynote (↑ diversity and ↓ monoculture of scientific minds & perspectives!)


Just out! New directions for studying global change impacts on biogeochemical cycling in tropical forests: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… Excited to be part of this conversation: cross-site collaboration, diversity + inclusivity (Ecological Society) Big thanks2 @DanielaCusack Sasha Reed


La técnica de SWELTR Alicia Sanjur recibe a miembros de la ACP para que conozcan un poco de las investigaciones sobre efectos del cambio climático en los bosques tropicales, Canal de Panamá agradecemos su visita!




Our new paper shows that experimental warming and drying increases the age of #carbon in #soil CO2 efflux in tropical forest.
