For those interested in comparing ecosystem responses to drought across sites that differ in climate/productivity... this analysis will be useful. Nice work.

“At least Fiona isn't like Hurricane María.” Puerto Rico was left without electricity. Thousands still live in damaged houses covered with blue tarps. People are worried. Judging by the videos, some would lose their homes. Five years later, Puerto Rico still hasn't recovered.

I want to remind everyone especially in the US that Hurricane Fiona has also made landfall in the Dominican Republic as well as the Virgin Islands. A lot of the times I feel PR is very central to news coverage of these disasters, but the Caribbean in whole will need assistance.

And it only took a newly formed Cat 1 Hurricane!!! Nothing near Maria. Zero lessons learned it seems. – at Mameyes I, Puerto Rico

Congrats to Erika Marín-Spiotta, professor @UWMadisonGeog, who was elected as an ESA Fellow for advancing knowledge of soil carbon stability and its response to land use change, and for serving as a global leader. Thanks for your important work @emsaurios! #ESA2022 🥳

New paper led by Marijn Bauters shows that Ca (and not N or P) is likely limiting secondary forest growth in Congo:

Considering how soil C is associated with minerals? Check out this amazing global analysis by @GeorgiouKat and co-authors for estimates of global stocks, driving factors behind the associations, and its ability to explain C accumulation. Wow!

Drought can leave long-lasting legacies belowground... until a wet year resets the system. Roots are so dynamic.
Repeated extreme droughts decrease root production, but not the potential for post‐drought recovery of root production, in a mesic grassland onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Amid the grief of the massacres in Buffalo and Uvalde, we also honor the memory of #GeorgeFloyd today. Macalester stands with those in the Twin Cities working to affirm the humanity of our neighbors, especially those harmed by bigotry, racism, disenfranchisement, and violence.
