@Seantooker2 @Seantooker2 Please encourage people to log observations on Dead Tree Detective We scientists are trying to track and map tree mortality rates but we need observations on the ground!

First it was the strange hue of the trees now it’s a real life nightmare. This is very hard to take, it must be shared because none of us can escape this. A catastrophe like we’ve never known is unfolding & exploding at an incredible rate. 🧵 #tasmania

Our new paper lines up P-enabled vegetation models against results from #EucFACE experiment and asks: how did they do? Congrats @jiangmingkai for a huge effort co-ordinating modelling and experimental communities! @westernsydneyu @westsyduhie
A new study on Eucalyptus forests adds to evidence that the global CO2-driven carbon sink may be overestimated by models. Learn more in this week’s issue of Science Advances:

@Rebecca74083947 @ULTGrowth We are still tracking forest plots affected by similar dieback in 2019-20. Many of those forests showed reasonably good recovery - the canopies can come back via resprouting - but how well they can come back from repeated drought events is a really important question!

Midcoast NSW Australia mass forest death (due to extreme drought & the complex effects of climate change) this is pretty terrifying. These mountains escaped being burned in 2019 & the green is dry RF.
