🌿🌳Our new paper, led by the brillant @alyssakullberg.bsky.social, shows that trees acclimate to warming by preserving thermoregulation. Yet, with hot droughts, higher thermotolerance cannot compensate when hydraulic stress prevents leaf cooling. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... @wslresearch.bsky.social
Even trees can get serious sunburn. A new study by a WSL-EPFL team shows how #heat and #drought affect #trees and how they sustain damage when the two are combined. This helps us understand how they will react to a changing climate: www.wsl.ch/en/news/when...
New Paper out in New Phytologist 🌸How does flower color affect heat stress? Darker flowers absorb more radiation but compensate by cooling more through transpiration and having higher thermal tolerance. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @wslresearch.bsky.social
🌱 New ReCLEAN publication 🙌
@wslresearch.bsky.social and EPFL colleagues show how drought and warming threaten nitrogen stability in grasslands, especially under intensive management.

It turns out that drought and warming enhance the risk of nitrogen losses in intensively managed grasslands. Extensively managed ones, on the other hand, stay strong and stable! 😮💨Check our new publication rdcu.be/e88Cm
