  3. Please BOOST : There is still time (until next Wednesday 18 June) for any interested master student to apply for the doctoral thesis in #Forest #Ecophysiology on the subject of "Defining functional strategies at the whole-plant level by integrating traits related to carbon acquisition and water use in seedlings of Fagaceae" that we offer here in Nancy.
    More explicitely, this thesis is about #drought responses of #tree seedlings, considering all organs and many #FunctionalTraits , but somewhat focused on #CarbonAllocation, #WaterUseEfficiency and #PlantHydraulics .
    The thesis takes place close to Nancy, East of France, in the #INRAe campus which is at the edge of a very nice forest. The student will work in our very active tree ecophysiology group (PHARE) of the Silva unit. More information can be found on the Silva website :
    eng-silva.nancy.hub.inrae.fr/o

    Please see also the webpage of the #SIReNa doctoral school of the #UniversityofLorraine :

    And don't hesitate to BOOST and share in your networks. Thanks !

    Maria Milanović et al. (2025) Successful alien plant species exhibit functional dissimilarity from natives under varied climatic conditions but not under increased nutrient availability. Journal of Vegetation Science 36: e70032. doi.org/10.1111/jvs.70032

    Alien and native species increasing in their abundance did not differ in their leaf traits. We found significantly lower specific leaf area (SLA) with an increase in mean annual temperature and lower leaf Potassium with mean annual precipitation. For trait–environment relationships, when compared to native species, successful aliens exhibited an increase in leaf Phosphorus and a decrease in leaf Potassium with an increase in mean annual precipitation. Finally, aliens' SLA decreased in plots with higher mean annual temperatures.

    Excellent review of satellite remote sensing for mapping #GrassyBiomes at regional and global scales.

    This is crucial for #SavannaScience and the prevention of #Forestization of #OpenNaturalEcosystems such as #TropicalGrassyBiomes.

    The EU and FAO need to read this, and other recent related work, and then realise they need to update their antiquated definition of "forest" based only on veg structure and ignoring #FunctionalTraits.

  29. #introduction

    I'm a post-doc trying to understand the vegetated land surface through space and time.

    My research touches areas of ecology, biogeography, functional traits & diversity, ecosystem fun., and veg. modelling.

    I aim to disentangle interactions between functional diversity and ecosystem function using #ecoevo vegetation models (aDGVM2, LPJ-GUESS-NTD).

  30. This grabbed my attention.
    nature.com/articles/s41597-022.

    I recently compiled data on leaf area. I was keen to compare for species with bipinnate compound leaves that are common in African #TropicalGrassyBiomes. For leaf area I used leaflet size from powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn.

    I downloaded their data (doi.org/10.17871/TRY.81). The metadata says leaf area is "in case of compound leaves the area of a leaflet lamina". I checked Acacia nilotica. Theirs: 1691.79 mm^^. Mine: 4.2 mm^^.

    #FunctionalTraits

  31. As I said before, this is impressive work.

    nature.com/articles/s41597-022

    I have questions: Why are all plant species that do not have needle-leaves or scale-type leaves lumped together as broad-leaved? Why are species with simple leaves treated like species with pinnate or bipinnate compound leaves?

    #PlantFunction
    #FunctionalTraits
    #Ecophysiology

  32. This is impressive work.

    nature.com/articles/s41597-022

    But why must the distribution of samples according to MAT vs MAP be over-laid with Whittaker's (1975) biomes?

    It adds bias.
