@TimCurran8 Great to see your hard work translated into such a useful output.
I'm really proud of this project, the culmination of 12 yrs of research on our plant BBQ.
Our plant flammability data are being used in this new @FireEmergencyNZ website to guide decisions about which species to plant around your property.

🔥Fuel architectural traits such as branching pattern influence shoot flammability, but leaf traits such as LDMC & leaf thickness play a stronger role in explaining interspecific flammability variation

Hey Trump voters.
Hate to break it to you - but here’s what actually happened on Tuesday.
Watch. Bernie explained it 20 years ago.

Excited to share my first PhD paper! This milestone couldn’t have reached without the dedication and incredible support of all the co-authors. A heartfelt thanks to my PhD supervisors @TimCurran8 @buckleyhannah and @n_j_day!
Huge congrats to @shanta_budha on the first paper from her PhD!

A sad reminder that the WUI is flammable and we desperately need more mitigation before the next fire.

In thinking about risks to your farm (or home), it's always critical to think about the environmental conditions. Check out the presentation here for more information: pacificfireexchange.org/reso…

We know surprisingly little about seedling wood anatomy and how it shapes seedling ecology. In this paper we explored the interplay between seedling wood anatomical trade-offs, drought and demography in four dry forests of Colombia. Happy to work with such a great team 🌿💦🔬 🌿

Honored to report that, last night, CROSSINGS received not only the @banffcentre's Environmental Lit Award, but also its grand prize. Immense thanks to the jury, which called this book "a triumph of writing and reportage that transcends the genre."

Friday news dump! Delighted to learn that CROSSINGS has received @banffcentre's Environmental Literature Award—particularly apt given Banff's outsized importance in the history of #roadecology and my book. Hope to see some of you at the festival from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3.

Can wildlife management give up its single-use plastic addiction and still monitor those pests? A new @ecolincnz article shows that yes there is a plastic problem, and yes we may have a good solution! New @LincolnUniNZ research.
