Happy to share an exciting New Phytologist paper, "Dynamic regulation of water potential in Juniperus osteosperma mediates ecosystem carbon fluxes," led by the amazing Jessica Guo and with Dr. Mallory Barnes Steve Kannenberg and Bill Anderegg nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…

VPD, not temperature, limits tropical photosynthesis 💧 📖 ow.ly/IqAK50REahq by Slot et al. Martijn Slot Sami Rifai Eze Chinedu

There is a month left to apply for this #PlantSciJobs. My goal for this #postdoc is to test some key hypotheses on #xylem #embolism formation and spread and explore its role in vascular #plant #evolution. There is also room (and some funds) for you to do your own #PlantSci.

Jose Carlos Herrera and I wrote a commentary about this publication. We argue that osmotic adjustment follows seasonality irrespective of drought. Please use this free link to read: academic.oup.com/aob/advance-ar…

Why do C4 plants have faster stomatal movements? This study shows C4 evolution shortened guard cells but didn’t speed up opening under light. Yet, C4 plants close stomata as fast as C3 in low light. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… Wiley Plant Science #OpenAccess

My first PhD study has been published in New Phytologist highlighting the need to account for within-canopy variation in Tleaf to understand and predict leaf physiological heat stress. We also show that Tleaf can be up to 20°C warmer than air. Rwanda TREE nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

In our new paper in New Phytologist, we suggest that the possibility of non-water-saturated air spaces in #leaves should not be overlooked in measurements related to leaf gas exchange and in stomatal models, especially at high #VPD: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Dehydration tolerance and avoidance jointly determine tree survival during drought. Future research should aim to uncover the trade-off between dehydration tolerance and avoidance or the continuum spanning from drought tolerance to drought avoidance. 🍀doi.org/10.1093/jpe/rt…
