A wide view of a salt marsh under a bright blue sky, with golden-brown marsh grasses forming irregular patches surrounded by shallow water.
New research co-led by #URIGSO’s @erinkpeck.bsky.social & UNF's @saltyserina.bsky.social reveals a key limitation in a widely used method for measuring organic carbon in coastal wetlands — a gap that could influence global carbon storage estimates and assessments of marsh resilience.

✨Ever wondered how C4 plants 🌱 manage to shuttle metabolites back and forth between mesophyll and bundle sheath cells so efficiently? ✨ They have increased cell-to-cell connectivity between these cells through A LOT of plasmodesmata. @plantsci
So excited to announce our search for an Assistant Professor focused on understanding plant response to climate change! Come join us at UC Riverside aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01827

This is how we stay motivated to process seemingly endless amounts of samples. So close to rounding out this dataset!

If you are a member of SACNAS or MANRRS, you can apply for a travel award to attend a selected #PlantScience meeting in 2024. These generous awards are intended for a student-mentor pair. Applications are due Nov. 10, but tomorrow (Oct 12) we're hosting an info session. Please share!
Can you share examples of inappropriate figure manipulations that you have seen in manuscripts or journals with me? #PlantScience
That’s exactly it. This place is rapidly becoming better at providing the kind of interesting, challenging input on which any serious attempt at making sense of the world needs to rely.

This years 'Coastal Ecology Workshop' is returning to the UK!
Join us “Exploring the symbiotic relationship between
coastal ecology, geomorphology and economic valuation” in Coltishall, Norfolk.
Organised by University of East Anglia and University of Lincoln.
So my survey got attacked by some bots, and now I've lost 50% of my data. Please help me get to 1,000 real humans who actually meet my survey criteria? This sad PhD candidate thanks you in advance.

🔔New paper🧪 Treelines in the U.S. Northeast shifted upslope by 3 m/decade on average w/climate warming. Treeline form, topography, & mesoclimate affected the magnitude of the shift! Kudos to Jordon Tourville for this PhD work at SUNY ESF w/Appalach. Mtn. Club!

There is an invertebrate feed, by the way. Be sure to like it in addition to pinning it because it's languishing behind the other nature feeds and isn't 'discoverable' because it has too few likes.
(not that it's a competition but let's be real, inverts are far better)
