Two PhD opportunities at the Australian National University and the University of Technology Sydney, working on thermal responses and thermal acclimation of C4 photosynthesis. www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
Our latest work in @pnas.org shows something surprising: the latest generation of P-enabled vegetation models do not predict a higher CO2 response with P fertilisation

Extreme heat is fast becoming one of the biggest threats to global food systems. Our new piece in The Conversation looks at how intense heatwaves put crops and native species at risk — and what we can actually do about it.

HISTORIC HEAT IN AUSTRALIA
Climatic history is set to be rewritten with an absolutely deadly week:
Today 48.5C in South Australia,47.2 New South Wales,
45.3 Queensland,45.0 Victoria
‼️We might expect 7 CONSECUTIVE DAYS >46C in New South Wales and we can't rule out 50C.
A HELL

Check out our new paper in @cp-trendsecolevo.bsky.social with a stellar crew of collaborators!
We suggest a need for a systems modelling approach to predict the effects of extreme heat and propose a path forward on how we can do it! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our talented CSC student, Ruiling Lu, collated forest inventory data dating back to the 1940's from colleagues across the country. After accounting for stand dynamics, we still see a similar increasing trend in mortality in forests from Tassie to the NT, associated with increasing temps

So proud! Our brilliant PhD student Camille Sicangco's new paper just out in @newphyt.bsky.social : Testing stomatal optimisation models at high temperatures nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
