New preprint! There is substantial spatial heterogeneity in growing season dynamics across northern environments, and we show this for Fennoscandia 2020-2024 🌡️🌡️🌡️ We found great variation in growing season onset and documented record warm summers 🥵@mikarantane.bsky.social @niittynen.bsky.social
New article! By Määttänen, @mariahallfors.bsky.social & me :-)
New publication! Do leaf traits vary in time? 🌿🍃☘️ We sampled 6 traits of 11 species over 15 weeks and found that traits vary greatly, and every growth form followed their own pattern 🦄 Species rank remained somewhat same! @niittynen.bsky.social 🌱 @oikosjournal.bsky.social 🌱 doi.org/10.1002/oik.11849
Extended submission deadline! Spread the good news! And make sure to drop an abstract by 1.3.2026 at www.meb-network.com/meb-2026 ❄️🌡️💧🌱
