I wrote a blog post for @FunEcology Postcards from the field series.
It covers some of my personal journey, and some of the work I've been doing for my PhD.
Check it out below
🖼️Postcards From The Field🖼️
🌱In our latest post, @Nate_S_Anderson discusses the healing and regenerative benefits of time spent in nature and working in majestic Red Tingle forests🌳

#ResearchHighlights: Geographic variation in reproductive traits and germination-niche dynamics in conservation-dependant 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘢 populations restricted to banded ironstone formations 🫘🌱 @Nate_S_Anderson @emily__tudor @wolfski__ doi.org/10.1016/j.flora.2024…
For anyone interested in seed germination trials, check out our recent paper. We compared hydrothermal germination requirements from three populations of Banksia arborea - a narrow range endemic confined to Banded Ironstone in WA.

What an amazing journey this paper has been for @Nate_S_Anderson and @emily__tudor to understand #seed #germination of the rock loving Banksia arborea with @madfuzz82 and myself out in the Goldfields🤘❤️🌱 @kingspark_wa @UWAresearch

Unrelenting heat and no rain has triggered widespread die-offs of trees and plants in the climate change hotspot of southwest Western Australia.
With no real relief in sight, this can intensify and expand, write experts from @MurdochUni + @UWAnews. theconversation.com/the-big-…

Please congratulate your 2024 #EucalyptoftheYear, the incredible Red-flowering Gum, Corymbia ficifolia!
This Western Australian endemic is one of the most widely planted eucalypt in Australia and around the world!
Congrats to the #FriendsofFicifolia!
#NationalEucalyptDay
There is still time to vote Red Flowering Gum for Euc of the year and put RFG in its rightful spot at the top of the list. Don't get distracted by those other entries. Vote RFG!!

#EucalyptoftheYear voting wraps up tomorrow and just 1 vote now separate the two leaders. It's time for a final push!

Red-flowering Gum, Corymbia ficifolia
📍 WA
⬆️ 2-12 metres
With explosive colour, non-shedding bark and a versatile range of cultivars, this Western Australian species is one of the most widely-planted eucalypts.
Is it your #EucalyptoftheYear? Vote now: eucalyptaustralia.org.au/euc…

Voting is OPEN for this year’s #EucalyptOfTheYear with options focussed on #UrbanChampions
Corymbia ficifolia is the ultimate since it has a narrow native distribution in southern WA, but planted in many urban centres!
ICONIC eh!?
#FriendsOfFicifolia
#ChampionCorymbia – at Perth, Western Australia
Voting is now open for the 2024 #EucalyptoftheYear: Urban Champions edition!
Meet the ten contenders and vote now at eucalyptaustralia.org.au/euc… then tell us who you voted for!

Voting for the 2024 #EucalyptoftheYear opens in two weeks!
This year, we're focusing on urban champions, & there are just 10 species in contention!
Which species do you think are on our list? Should we release the list early to give you time to build a campaign?
Let us know ⬇️
Australian Geographic wrote up October's bioblitz run by the Walpole-Nornalup Natl Parks Assoc.
They focused on the peats, but I'll drop a few tree pics from the day in comments below for any tree lovers.

We've got a seedling from a rates tingle (Euc brevistylis), sunrise after some pre-dawn physiology, an action shot from Red Flowering Gum physiology, and a gnarly fare scarred rates tingle.
