New publication on the physiological responses to summer dry periods of mountain fynbos published in Oecologia: rdcu.be/c36Gm
We learnt several valuable lessons about these magnificent plant communities...

#ThreatenedSpeciesThursday: The pretty pink and white flowerheads of the #SnowballProtea (𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘢 𝘤𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘢) are not easily seen, since the plants are confined to peaks above 1 700m & only grow in 7 isolated subpopulations in the #Cederberg.

I just returned home from a wonderful few weeks spent in New Zealand, where I attended the International Sap Flow Workshop, and Tasmania, where I deployed sap flow sensors with Tim Brodribb and Ibrahim Bourbia.
📢 Job announcement: fully funded postdoc position! Are you looking to do exciting research in beautiful South Africa? We are looking for a motivated postdoc with skills in plant ecology and physiology to work on improving our knowledge of the evolutionary ecophysiology of shrubs

New paper on plant form and function out in @PlantCellEnvir: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…. @jvwilkening et al. developed a neat model to examine how patterns of variation in vulnerability segmentation, hydraulic segmentation and the interaction between them influences plant function.
It makes for a fascinating read and should go some way to stimulate discussion in plant hydraulics. Well done @jvwilkening and all the co-authors for making it happen and bringing it to fruition.

Fun to share our new paper out in @PlantCellEnvir today where myself, @skelrob, Xue Feng, Todd Dawson, and @DrSallyET used plant hydraulic modeling to test some hypotheses regarding vulnerability segmentation and its role in plant drought response doi.org/10.1111/pce.14649 (🧵👇)
This study reveals variable vulnerability segmentation between stems and leaves. Conventional and reverse patterns observed, impacting conductance.
Implications for plant traits and hydraulic segmentation.
