Congrats to ecologist Melinda Smith - named as a 2023 AAAS fellow! She is not on this platform so you will need to email her congratulations, if you are so inclined.

How did our DroughtNet treatments affect plant growth in the first year of the experiment across 100 sites? Read about it now!
Congratulations to everyone who contributed! 🎉
This just out!

Robyn Nicolay concurs that regular burning will increase - not decrease - soil carbon sequestration in mesic grassland.
