How much carbon is being lost from tropical forests due to ozone pollution? New results from our work just out in Nature Geoscience. #airpollution, #ozone, #tropicalforests rdcu.be/dTKUN

The countdown is on! After 4 years of traipsing around the rainforest and thinking a lot about leaf temperatures, I'll be presenting the results of my PhD at my pre-completion seminar on September 12th. DM me for the Zoom link if you want to join!

How does elevated temperature and vapour pressure deficit impact leaf gas exchange and plant growth in tropical rainforest trees?
The first chapter of my PhD is now out in @NewPhyt

Thrilled to see our research about temperature thresholds of tropical trees led by Chris Doughty featured on the cover of @Nature. The cover shows a thermal image (taken by me!) of tropical tree species Alstonia scholaris and Melicope rubra in Australia.

New @Nature paper: tropical forest temps from ECOSTRESS + leaf-level are starting to exceed Tcrit--where leaf function begins to fail.
Models + warming experiments show non-linear increases in surface temp w/ inc. air temp --> tipping point w/in RCP 8.5.

Just out! A leaf warming experiment done in both a temperate and tropical forest canopy, showing how 4 °C warming disrupts leaf homeothermy and negatively affects leaf photosynthesis in both systems. Read about it at
