🌳🌡️ Our new paper is out! We show that during extreme heat stomatal decoupling occurred in mature holm oak trees; yet, this mechanism provided very little leaf cooling 🍂 academic.oup.com/treephys/adv... @charlottegrossiord.bsky.social @mdekauwe.bsky.social & many others

Excited to share our new paper on leaf scorching. 🔥Early leaf browning during heat and drought is often interpreted as premature leaf senescence - but it may reflect rapid heat damage. Separating these processes is essential. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @wslresearch.bsky.social

My second PhD paper is out! 🌳 Species composition shapes canopy structure, microclimate, and leaf traits along a beech–oak ecotone. Yet microclimate had little effect on photosynthetic and respiratory thermal acclimation. Worth every challenge in the field! 🏔 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

would be a perfect summer to monitor in-situ leaf temperatures but as a 3rd-year PhD my only obligation is to write write write... still, would be nice if someone were making use of my big thermocouple datalogger jellyfish monsters... here's an image of one up a Douglas-fir summer 2024

It turns out that drought and warming enhance the risk of nitrogen losses in intensively managed grasslands. Extensively managed ones, on the other hand, stay strong and stable! 😮‍💨Check our new publication rdcu.be/e88Cm @charlottegrossiord.bsky.social @pierremariotte.bsky.social

🌳Étonnante découverte: les platanes évaporent beaucoup d'eau même par forte chaleur, à plus de 39 °C. Ils rafraîchissent plus qu'on ne le pensait, ce qui remet en question les prévisions de répartition de la chaleur en ville. www.wsl.ch/fr/news/les-... #climaturbain #adaptation au climat #arbres

Les arbres urbains restent cool même par canicule

Les arbres urbains transpirent bien plus que prévu au-dessus de 39°C, ce qui remet en question les hypothèses sur la régulation thermique.

🌿🔥How heat and VPD shape tree survival? We tested how acclimation to high temperature & VPD impacts drought mortality. While heat speeds up death via leaf area expansion, VPD acclimation slows it down by enhancing stomatal control - balancing mortality timing. doi.org/10.1111/PCE....
