🌩️Lightning is an important but understudied killer of trees in tropical forests. @GoraEvan et al provide the first systematic assessment of its impacts in African forests, finding strikes are six-times more frequent on ridges than valleys 👉️ buff.ly/0lrd9Zj

Getting hit by lightning is usually bad news, but a new study led by Cary's @GoraEvan reveals a tree species that actually benefits from ⚡️ strikes, and may have evolved to act as a natural lightning rod. @NewPhyt @smithsonian caryinstitute.org/news-insig…

📢🌳🛰️Sharing new paper "Towards a global understanding of tree mortality" from @Tree_Mortality network. Shout out Cornelius/Adriane/Tom for leading.
(From having fun with trees in the field to psychodelic-black-mirror-digital trees by the end 😅)

Applications are open for the 2025 Fundamentals of Ecosystem Ecology (FEE) course at the Cary Institute. This crash course in ecosystem ecology runs from Jan. 6-17th. We begin reviewing applications on Oct. 15th. Apply here: caryinstitute.org/eco-inquir…
This is an opportunity to learn from leaders in the field, including scientists who literally *wrote the book* on Ecosystem Ecology. We encourage graduate students who lack equivalent access to education in ecosystem science. Please contact myself or @Jane_M_Lucas with questions.
