I read the conversation article this morning. That's really cool work and I've put the full article on the top of my to read list.

Bark microbiota modulate climate-active gas fluxes in Australian forests Recent studies suggest that microbes inhabit tree bark, yet little is known about their identities, functions, and environmental roles. Here we reveal, through gene-centric and genome-resolved metagen...

In this week’s @science.org cover article, we discover tree bark is a hidden habitat for abundant, diverse, and specialized microbial life that actively regulate our climate 🦠. Bark isn't just an inert armor of tree but an active interface for climate and biodiversity

They're SO cute.

We've struck out in Dryandra even on a couple of the good seasons.

But we are back on the best coast in Feb and will see one one day. :)

Sorry to hear that. I'm still sending out all the positive vibes for a WA return asap.

Pademelons are so cute. We were a bit overwhelmed by them when we first arrived in Launceston from WA.

Numbat is still on my short list. I've struck out every time I've gone searching.

I'm having so much fomo right now.
Thanks for keeping the conference updates coming for those of us who couldn't make it this year.

Come visit us and we will share all the daycare viruses with you :)

Fire management in the red tingle forest of southwest Australia has been a hot topic for a few years now. New research from @natesanderson.bsky.social suggests that the red tingle forest should be managed differently than the nearby Karri forest, to reduce tree mortality.

Thanks Micha. I'm a bit slow on this platform these days.

Interested in tree #dieback caused by climate change and how it impacts ecosystems? Interested in joining our group for a #PhD project? Find out more (sorry, stipend is available for Australian citizens and residents only): www.unisa.edu.au/research/deg...

‘Catastrophic declines’: massive data haul reveals why so many plants and animals suffer after fire Frequent fuel-reduction burning appears to prime ecosystems for major disruption when the next wildfire hits.

The condition of sites affected how severe impacts of the 2019-20 fires were. Most important was the number of preceding fires, with implications for prescribed burning🌏
