Just joined the really interesting "Trait Debate" at the @GfoeSoc conference. It will be exciting to see in which direction trait-based ecology will develop in the future... 🌻🌿🐝

A new PhenObs paper is published in @WileyEcolEvol . As a Master's thesis, trait and phenological patterns of herbaceous species in botanical gardens were compared with patterns in natural grasslands🌻🌱. doi.org/10.1002/ece3.11505 @TillDe3 @JosephineUlric1

Fieldseason only in summertimes? 🌞 Not when you are studying "leaf marcescence"... Together with colleagues from other botanical gardens I currently investigate global patterns of this phenomena in trees 🌳🍃 Really interesting but cold❄️ @Matt_W_Austin

Really interesting review on plant phenology shifts... 🌍🌳🌻Apparently herbaceous species are still understudied... We are on the right track and looking forward to next steps👍🏼😊
📢 Hot off the press: Synthesis on #Plant 🌳⚘ #phenology 🌏 shifts in response to #climatechange. #Published today in #EMAS @SpringerNature, we review #research progress, #knowledge gaps, and suggest future direction. 🧵 (1/n) @PhenObs @USANPN link.springer.com/article/10…
