And we have our results! 💥
We have dated a cedar that is 1,544 years old, and two others exceed 1,500 years. All three are older than the previously oldest one (1,481 years).
In total, we have already identified eight cedars over 1,000 years old. 🌲👴👵

Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

Communal deciduous oak dehesas, once vital agrosilvopastoral systems, are biodiversity hotspots for old-growth species. Now largely unprotected and abandoned, they urgently need recognition to meet EU biodiversity goals.

The peer review system is in serious crisis. Finding reviewers is harder than ever. Many colleagues refuse to "work for free", yet they continue to submit their own research for publication. We either need to properly recognize peer review in evaluations or rethink the entire model 🧪🌍🍁

New insights into the extreme potential age of the genus #Juniperus.
The common juniper (Juniperus communis) can live for over 1,500 years in Northern Europe, making it the oldest known tree species on the continent. 🍁🌱🌿🌍🧪

A truly fascinating and still largely unexplored ecosystem!
We investigated #tree growth in cloud forests across the entire #Macaronesian region and found that local environmental conditions play a greater role in shaping tree growth than species-specific traits.

New equipment! We just got the CaptuRING system to take core images. Shout out to Danny King of Dendro Engine Studios for building the rig. The blueprint is detailed in this excellent paper by Garcia-Hidalgo et al. (2022): onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1... 🧪

We are kicking off a major project funded by @FundacionEndesa in collaboration with @pnteide. Over the next few days, we will be collecting samples to explore the ages of the #millennial #cedars (Juniperus cedrus) in Teide National Park 👇🍁

‘Precocious’ early-career scientists with high citation counts proliferate
Researchers have questions about how so many authors have racked up a large number of citations so quickly, although some of those authors are honest overachievers.

AI in general, and Machine Learning specifically, are changing the way we process big data in ecology. Recently, we reconstructed 450 years of management (pollarding) in Mediterranean oaks using tree rings—1,588 pollarding events at the tree level!
