Call for plant ecophysiologists! Do you have Fv/Fm or F0-rise data? Do you know someone who might? @seanmichaletz.bsky.social and @nicolebison.bsky.social would love to hear from you. (Bonus if your data are from Asia or Africa.) Please share widely! #ecology #botany #ClimateChange #HeatTolerance

Photo of a slide that reads
Help us identify drivers of global variation in PSII heat tolerance kinetics. Seeking collaborators and data in Fv/Fm temperature response curves at multiple heat duration and F0-rise curves. Email Nicole dot Bison at ubc dot ca or Sean dot Michaletz at ubc dot ca. Map of sites contributed shows points in North and South America, Europe, and Australia but not Asia or Africa (or Antartica, on the very slim chance someone has data from there).
