Rising atmospheric CO2 reduces nitrogen availability in boreal forests - Nature
Nitrogen isotope tree-ring chronologies show that rising atmospheric CO2 has reduced nitrogen availability in boreal forests in Sweden, suggesting that elevated atmospheric CO2 is causing oligotrophic...

🪵🌲 #PhD Alert! MSc in #Environmental Sciences or a related field? Interested in #wood anatomy and experience with #tree-ring data? Our Dendrosciences group is offering a 4-year PhD position in #Palaeoecology: apply.refline.ch/273855/1761/... #ScienceJobs #dendrology #radiocarbon
Job offer: The Research Group Dendrosciences uses tree rings to investigate and understand environmental impacts on tree growth and to reconstruct past environmental changes at scales ranging from minutes to millennia and from cells to ecosystems around the globe. From 1 November 2025, we offer a 4-year position as a
PhD in Palaeoecology 100% (f/m/d)
As part of the Signatures of Global Late Glacial Climate Change in Tree-Ring Records (SiGnaL) project — co-led by the Dendrosciences group at WSL and the Laboratory of Ion Beam Physics (LIP) at ETH Zurich — you will contribute to understanding the nature and drivers of abrupt climate changes that occurred during the Late Glacial period, approximately 11 - 15 kyrs BP. Your work will focus on the collection, measurement, and integration of fossil wood and tree-ring material from various global sites. Through a multi-proxy approach — combining radiocarbon dating, stable isotope ratios, and quantitative wood anatomy — you will help to date and synchronize records across regions and reconstruct regional to global climate dynamics. This work will support the project's goal of improving our understanding of the Late Glacial climate system and enhancing the global radiocarbon calibration curve. You will be part of an enthusiastic and ambitious team that includes leading researchers in dendro-chronology, palaeoclimate research, and radiocarbon dating, along with two other PhD students and technicians. The position is based at WSL within the Dendrosciences group, a globally recognised centre for tree-ring science. Collaboration with international researchers from related institutions is also expected. Among the three PhD students involved in the project, you will have a special emphasis on wood anatomy and on the climatic interpretation of the tree-ring proxies.

Cultivating allyship for a diverse, equitable and inclusive academia - Nature Human Behaviour
We propose six actionable steps of allyship that researchers, faculty members and educators can engage in to foster a diverse, equitable and inclusive academia: listening to marginalized voices, challenging one's own biases, speaking up to include disadvantaged groups, speaking out to confront bias, advocating for inclusive policies and dismantling institutional biases.
