Continued #climatechange is expected to exacerbate the reduction of hydraulic safety margins (HSM50) in the #Amazon, which are crucial indicators of the risk of drought-induced mortality. This trend has significant implications for the Amazon's #carbon sink. ⚠️

… 42% (range 12%–76% across forests) of total aboveground biomass loss (mortality + damage) occurs on damaged but surviving trees across several #TropicalForest @ForestGEO plots

The White-rumped Shama is an Asian songbird known for its beautiful, melodious song. It’s found in tropical forests from India to Indonesia and is a popular pet in many countries. #WhiteRumpedShama #Songbird #TropicalForest #PetBird

Beauty, at times, comes in really small doses... as this feisty little iridescent jumping #spider, small as a dewdrop, briskly demonstrates.

All #trees inspire wonder, but there's an additional element in tropical #rainforest emergents like this one that is humbling and exalting, at once. In their presence you're transfixed and, at least momentarily, aware beyond yourself, transformed.

@bmatb Hi there! I am Trevor Caughlin, a #joyfullygay #plantecologist. I lead a lab that studies #sagebrushsteppe and #tropicalforest #restoration up in Boise, Idaho

Hello! 👋 I'm new here, so here's a little #introduction about who I am & what I do as a scientific researcher 🌎

I'm a community #ecologist by training & a lot of my #PhD research was based on #TropicalForest #carbon storage in Brazil & Panama. I now lead a project investigating decision-making, trade-offs & conflicts involving people, #biodiversity, #energy & #justice, using #hydropower #dams as a model system.

I also love running, walking my dog & being in wild places 😀

Hey Mastodon! A brief #introduction of myself. I am a Ph.D. candidate at Tulane University. My work focuses on how #endophytes respond to and are influenced by plant leaf traits in #tropicalforest and in #mimulus #monkeyflowers. Specially how endopytes can alter leaf traits and help plants respond to #herbivore and #pathogens. I've also worked with #ants in coffee #agroecosystems. I'm more and more excited about the possibilities of #data in creating just and equitable spaces. #BoricuainSTEM

Introduction: I am an evolutionary ecologist working on (among other things) how mating systems affect #adaptation to changing environments. I like #beetles, #sexualselection, #savanna and #tropicalforest environments and #rstats and am trying to use #julialang with some variance in success. I also #scuba dive using a #jjccr #rebreather, enjoy #triathlon and do mediocre #wildlifephotography. I am moving to the University of Hull in December 2022.

We can't plant trees yet others are busy doing deforestation . There's need to halt/Stop deforestation of #tropicalforest.

We’re partnering with @Google@twitter.com to make high-resolution @Climateforest@twitter.com #tropicalforest Basemaps available on Google Earth Engine! This will further enable the NICFI Satellite Data Program to operate scalable impact initiatives for tropical forest loss.
