A deep dive into the capacity for trees to physiologically adapt to drought reaches a sobering conclusion: Trees have little ability to change their inner hydraulic systems to accommodate increasing levels of drought as the climate changes. In PNAS: ow.ly/cSpy50ZFVIF

Today, we’re celebrating the people who make field research happen — the early starts, muddy boots, careful observations, unexpected discoveries and, of course, reaching new heights! 🔎🌱

Can we trust? Yes, we can trust estimates of species turnover, but estimates of changes in species richness are less reliable. Our new article in the Journal of Ecology: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2745.70… @jecol

There are many incentives baked into the academy that push people to try and bury their errors. I also believe that a fundamental part of humanity is our resistance to correction.
I think it's good to try and fix that incentive structure.
Promptly fixing errors is good for science. Resisting correction impedes the scientific progress.
I don't know about you, but I think the Ctrl-Z Award is a small step in the right direction.

El milagroso musgo de la turba (Sphagnum sp.) es clave para la hidrología del #páramo. Es una de las especies que forma almohadillas y puede retener hasta 20x su peso seco en agua.

"Yo hice el cálculo, Daniel, con los resultados. Dividir el numerador por el denominador y eso arroja un decimal que se convierte en porcentaje.
Y así quedó claro que los números que aparecen en la portada de Semana no fueron calculados por un experto en estadística, sino por el director de la publicación, me atrevo a pensar que con la ayuda del dueño.
Quizás sea el comienzo de otra brillante carrera política. Hace cuatro años Semana usó su portada para montar a Rodolfo Hernández en un cohete o para titular “¿Ingeniero o Guerrillero?”. Y aquí vamos." @DCoronell cambiocolombia.com/los-danie…
