🌲 Boreal-tundra species drive Arctic plant borealization 🌲

Our new study in #EcologyLetters quantifies tundra plant borealization, assesses its main drivers and identifies the species & traits contributing to borealization.

Herbarium specimens reveal drivers of Arctic shrub growth @newphyt.bsky.social

Shrub specimens can be used to recreate annual growth chronologies and help understand plant responses to global change.

🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸

Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions.

For the polyploid fans AND the pollinator fans out there, some thoughts on polyploid establishment 🐝🪰🌿🌱

📢 Viewpoint in New Phyt. on polyploid establishment!
Key take-homes🧵
1. In contrast to earlier hypotheses that pollinators can help new polyploids establish, we suggest that pollinators mainly prevent polyploid establishment because outcrossing increases the strength of minority cytotype exclusion.

I completely agree on the magic of a hot beverage! Even better if freshly made. A cup of soup also sounds like a great idea.

65 years ago, on 1/12/59, 12 countries (now 67) signed the Antarctic Treaty, declaring that "Antarctica shall be used for peaceful purposes only". Despite being a sanctuary devoted to science, global change is threatening Antarctic ecosystems, and the situation is even worst at the Arctic. (1/2)

🎄 Advent calendar for plant enthusiasts!

With @vercakalnikova.bsky.social, we have gone through our photo archives and, quite unsurprisingly, found many alpine plants there. From now on, at least until Christmas, we will introduce one alpine plant species a day in this 🧵

We came out of the #CBD #nature #COP16 with way too much still to be done. As we are now going into #UNFCCC #climate #COP29, this read offers a great overview over the state of affairs, things at stake, and opportunities going forward tackling the two global crises.
