(Review out today, in which we ask whether xylem disconnection arising early in wood anatomy is convergent with disconnection seen across tall plants and whether tree evolution requires disconnection given periodic drought.)
Our beautiful special issue on plant evolution is out @currentbiology.bsky.social !

I'm very happy to welcome Dr. @thibault-durieux.bsky.social to the Plant Ecophysiology group at @unihohenheim.bsky.social.
Thibault's exciting @humboldt-foundation.de project will immerse us deeper than ever in the fossil record over the next two years.
Looking forward to the journey!

Happy to share a wonderful collaborative effort led by #ForestIsbell, showing how resistance and recovery predict stability www.nature.com/articles/s41...
The last paper from @thibault-durieux.bsky.social's PhD, discussing the architecture of Cladoxylon based on specimens from the early Carboniferous of France, is now published in @ijpsjournal.bsky.social 🌿⛏️ #paleobotany

The paper is not online yet but it's too pretty not to show for this #FossilFriday: a new species of Keraphyton from the Late Devonian of Australia, part of the work of
@toinechampreux.bsky.social. Keraphyton is an iridopteridale, an extinct group related to ferns & horsetails. #paleobotany 🌿⛏️

Long-term carbon sequestration as woody biomass in oaks is decoupled from photosynthesis and more sensitive to climate change.
