Today: Pengcheng Liu, a postdoc in the lab of Lidong Mo (who we can't wait to introduce next!). 🤝 With this series, we want to say a massive THANK YOU to all our worldwide partners who make international research and the #BIOMEproject possible, fun, and full of friendship. 🌍

From the forest floor to the canopy 🍃 Here’s how the #BIOMEproject captures leaf traits! 👇 Watch @nezimmermann.bsky.social explain our digital data collection across all forest layers. Lab processing unlocks key traits to characterize these biomes. #Macroecology #Forests #China #PlantTraits #WSL

To define biomes globally, we measure diverse parameters. Over the next days, we show you what we capture in the field! First up: PhD student @yang-gengchen.bsky.social shows how we measure light in forests using hemispherical photos in China. 👇 #BIOMEproject #GlobalChange #PlantTraits #Fieldwork

Um Biome weltweit zu definieren, messen wir ökologische Parameter. In den nächsten Tagen zeigen wir euch Einblicke direkt aus dem Feld! Den Anfang macht @yang-gengchen.bsky.social: Er zeigt, wie wir per hemisphärischer Aufnahmen Kronenstruktur und Lichtklima im Wald erfassen. 👇

Gleiches Klima, andere Arten – dieselben Merkmale? 🌿 Wir nehmen euch mit in Chinas Lorbeerwälder. Obwohl die Arten völlig andere sind als in Ecuador, erwarten wir wegen des Klimas fast identische Strukturen und Pflanzenmerkmale (sog. traits). Schaut rein für Einblicke in unsere Feldarbeit! 👇

Same climate, different species – identical traits? 🌿 Join us in China's laurel forests. Although the species differ completely from Ecuador, the similar climate shapes nearly identical plant structures and traits. Watch the video for a direct look at our fieldwork! 👇

An international team, including @wslresearch.bsky.social, shows that "Global proliferation of nonnative plants is a major driver of insect invasions." In Switzerland, the tree of heaven promotes the advance of the stink bug. www.wsl.ch/en/news/invi... Paper: academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Inviting trouble: How the tree of heaven promotes the advance of the stink bug

Non-native plants promote the spread of invasive insects, increasing risks to ecosystems worldwide.
