New @Biotropica paper on species spatial distribution in Southeast Asian tropical forest.
Can leaf drought tolerance explain species spatial ditribution in regard to soil moisture?

Almost there! We're 94% done with the 4th census of the 25ha #AmacayacuFDP in the Colombian Amazon🌳
Remeasuring 130K trees wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of @FCA_UNmed students, @ForestGEO, @InstitutoSINCHI & the Palmeras Indigenous community 🙌

We did it again! 🎉 Team Fushan just completed the 5th census of the 25-ha Fushan @ForestGEO plot—measuring nearly 230,000 stems🌳over 305 field days. Despite wasp stings, injuries, cold waves, and even a typhoon, we pulled through! Huge thanks to everyone involved.

Research within our Ichauway Forest Dynamics Plot, part of @ForestGEO, is monitoring longleaf pine grass stage development and mortality post-fire by measuring local ecological conditions, fuels on the ground, and fire conditions via drone infrared footage. #longleafpine

We analyzed 19 years of flowering data from the Fushan @ForestGEO plot for 16 species. Our analysis revealed that the flowering times of 13 species were affected by temperature changes. Changing temperatures may impact flowering times, reshaping subtropical ecosystems.

The Tropical Research Institute is a unique scientific outpost located on an island in the middle of the Panama Canal that's been run by the @smithsonian for 100 years. @BenSTracy visited the research institution and has more on why it's vital to the future of our planet.
