Ah... #TheQuesadillas in #Tucson is increasingly in my top 10 of lunch spots and quick burrito and/or tacos. Shout out to perhaps the best Birria in town

Some ‘fall’ color happening here in #Tucson… well, actually Fouquieria splendens sheds and dumps its leaves quickly in response to episodic rainfall so not truly ‘fall’ colors just correspondence to time since last monsoon rains

Hey, good to see #Saguaros (Carnegiea gigantea ) at the Desert Laboratory on #TumamocHill, in #Tucson featured on the cover - work from several colleagues on role of microsite variation on regeneration bsapubs-onlinelibrary-wiley-com.ezproxy4.library.arizona.edu/toc/15372197... 🌾🧪🌵

This photo of Karl Ludwig von Bertalanffy is exactly the levity needed this morning ... maybe its the old rotary phone, the messy stack of papers, or the white lab coat and ashtray ... or possibly all the above 🧪

This work highlights multiple interconnections of sea and land in shaping plant communities, ecosystem processes, and nutrient cycles. Seabirds are not just passengers; they're architects of High Arctic plant composition. 🐦🌱 #Ecology #BiosphereProcesses

Our #PFTC study used a space-for-time approach across two gradients: one nutrient-rich due to seabirds, and one primarily climate-driven. We sampled multiple plants traits near and far from sea bird colonies to assess if seabirds have an impact on terrestrial plant and ecosystem ecology 3/n

In the High Arctic, seabird colonies act as nutrient pumps, delivering marine-derived nutrients to terrestrial ecosystems. This marine subsidy increases plant height, leaf size, and nutrient content, pushing communities towards more resource-acquisitive traits. 🌱💧 #FunctionalEcology #Svalbard 2/n

Check out our new #PFTC paper! Why is the high Arctic such a vital place to reveal ecological connections between animals, plants, the ocean & land? Why are parts of Svalbard so green (see photo)? How marine-derived nutrients shape functional composition of High Arctic plant communities 🌐🧪 1/n

Happy Earth Day! - While we measure economies by the flows of funds and transactions, we overlook the flows of carbon, nutrients, and water that sustain life and occur all around us - flows all shaped and directed by biodiversity. Earth Day is a reminder to recalibrate on what actually counts 🌐🧪🌾
