How much do plants rely on groundwater? And how does the effect of groundwater compare to a more well-known factor on plant growth, such as aridity? Check out our preprint below to find out more! @PierreGentine @SISeneviratne @LJiangong @SteniBocker researchsquare.com/article/r…

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.

'By comparing two firn cores taken in 2018 and 2020 at a high altitude Alpine site (Corbassière glacier, CH), we demonstrate that this glacier is now irrevocably lost as an archive for reconstructing major atmospheric aerosol components' #LostArchives nature.com/articles/s41561-0…

Food for thought or fighting words? Down with PFTs for explaining spatial var in fluxes: Cranko Page, J., Abramowitz, G., De Kauwe, M. G., & Pitman, A. J. (2024). Are plant functional types fit for purpose? Geophysical Research Letters, 51, e2023GL104962. doi.org/10.1029/2023GL104962
