We relaunch our seminar series!
Jordi Martinez-Vilalta will talk on the
‘Limits and opportunities in predicting drought-induced forest mortality’
24 March 2026 at 15:00 UTC

The future of Europe’s forest disturbance regimes– a thread.
Tl, dr: Disturbances from wildfire, bark beetles & wind will continue to increase in the coming decades. Under unabated climate change disturbances could more than double by 2100.
New paper out in @science.org doi.org/10.1126/scie...
Cover of PhD thesis titled Ecosystem services from a tropical forest landscape in Southeast Asia.
Sunny day for a train ride to Lund to help examine a PhD thesis on Ecosystem services from a tropical forest landscape in Southeast Asia.
Fabaceae emerge as amongst the most embolism-resistant tree families in Amazonia. Forests in the Brazilian and Guiana Shield regions, where Fabaceae abundance is high, are expected to have greater drought resistance than Western Amazon forests.
Large-scale patterns of tropical forest embolism resistance mapped across space and angiosperm phylogeny.
Combining measurements across the Amazon with 100s of floristic samples, Julia Tavares & colleagues report remarkable variation in vulnerability to drought.

Thanks! Yeah - you can buy the actual clock cheap and sink it in the back. I had a hard time chipping away at this rock solid oak without proper tools but eventually got there.
Made a clock
But I mean come on
Postdoctoral position in Forest Genetics at @uni-freiburg.de with a focus on local adaptation and/or stress reaction of trees. The position combines research and teaching (4 SWS), and offers the opportunity to develop an independent research profile (4+ years).
☀️Hotter and drier conditions under ongoing climate change are causing tree mortality events and altering forest dynamics worldwide.

A vibrant, wide-angle photo of a colorful outdoor mural promoting the "Super Bowl LX Apple Music Halftime Show." The mural is painted on a long blue wall in a sunlit, tropical setting with real palm trees and bright pink bougainvillea flowers cascading over the top. The artwork features a playful, surreal collage of cultural and football-themed elements: Central Text: The Apple Music logo in bold yellow and red 3D lettering is flanked by "SUPER BOWL LX" above and "HALFTIME SHOW" below. Iconic Imagery: Large illustrations of a golden trumpet, pink sunglasses, maracas, dominoes, and a cup of coffee with a musical note in the foam. Football Elements: Brown footballs are depicted growing on palm trees like coconuts and resting on the ground. Foreground: A young girl in a yellow dress walks along the sidewalk in front of the mural, passing a small goalpost illustration where a green parrot is perched. The overall aesthetic is warm, festive, and celebrates a fusion of Latin-inspired culture and American football.
I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage.
The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts.
