🌎Welcome our new PhD student-Wendy Owens Rios @wendyhaeco.bsky.social. Wendy is a lecturer at SUNY Geneseo developing her PhD @sunyesf.bsky.social on soil biogeochemistry, microbial ecology, & plant–soil interactions in forested wetlands impacted by ash decline due to non-native emerald ash borer.

🌱 Novel ecosystems are becoming the norm🌎 In Resurgence & Ecologist, I report on landscapes so altered that returning to a historical baseline is no longer possible🌐 Ecologists now debate how conservation should respond when #ecosystems have no precedent.🧪 #Ecology #Conservation #Biodiversity Read👇

More #DNA extractions. This time from sites with #ash die off from #EAB #wetlands #ecology

Senior capstone student extracting dna on lab bench

Ash die off area in old forested wetland once called a cedar swamp but no more cedars and mostly dead green ash

Semester accomplishments 24 DNA samples, 30 soil samples, 100s of plant diversity plots… more to come. #wetlands #microbes #ecology

One thing I love about science now is all the collaborations there are. When I was in school no professors included me in research! Now I include my students on my research and I get coauthorship on several papers that is not my main #ecology discipline.

The one thing I have really gotten better with since focusing on my #ecology career is photographing #nature. This is from the park behind my house near my research wetlands.

What you all think is best definition of #succession Teaching #ecology and the history is crazy on all different hypotheses and models. Which classic ecology paper would be best to explain and use as a guide in my own research?

This summer was my first time LA. Love it! The sun! The ocean! Also learned about new plants that I never seen before. Can’t wait to go back

In this together 💛

I don’t believe in “good” and “bad” plants
“Invasives” don’t mean to take over (huck)
I think of them as excited children (pat pat)
Who just need help remembering to share

What a great 12 hours on @bsky.app so many more interactions than the other platforms. A lot like it was on twitter a few years ago. Love seeing posts about #science #ecology. Planning on reposting my labs instagram and TikTok here. @dirtdiva_lab
