Net photosynthetic rates as a function of intercellular CO2 concentration and incident photosynthetic photon flux density, summarized with average values of invasive species in their away range, the same invaders in home range locations, and co-occurring native species.

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis

Wrapping up my 4th semester at Chico State and feeling grateful to receive the Outstanding Early Career Faculty award!

Huge thanks to my incredible colleagues and students who make this work so meaningful—and thanks for the nomination :)

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Students in BIO414 Plant Phys got to play with all the photosynthesis toys from LICOR this week! I wish I had a couple dozen of these instruments for my class 🌱🪴🌿 @li-corenv.bsky.social @chicostate.bsky.social

Twitter/X got really quiet (and weird) so I finally moved over here...are my fellow ecology/plant eco-phys folks out here?? Give me a follow to bring back that lovely #scicomm community 🙏🌱🤓
