incidentally while lots of people say they review at least reciprocally for their publications i wonder if we correctly estimate the ratio reviews:publication necessary to make up for the skew towards junior scientists (not reviewing or ending up leaving before they 'pay back')? its clearly not 2:1

it really feels like it can't be solved bottom up... there needs to be some kind of solid reward mechanism. its not like a line about being a reviewer makes much diffence on ECR CVs...

🌿NEW PAPER 🌍... doi.org/10.1111/gcb..... how nutrient availability change a mediterranean 'savannoid' ecosystem - different nutrient paths to the same C cycling. Extra N is making these systems better C sinks, but long term drying and warming trend means C losses in the long term

Nitrogen availability and summer drought, but not N:P imbalance, drive carbon use efficiency of a Mediterranean tree‐grass ecosystem
Nitrogen availability and summer drought, but not N:P imbalance, drive carbon use efficiency of a Mediterranean tree‐grass ecosystem

We used a long term nitrogen- and nitrogen and phosphorous addition experiment in a Mediterranean tree-grass system to understand how these factors and weather change its ability to effectively seque....

Here's me at #IUFRO2024 , talking about a topic dear to my heart - forest canopy nitrogen uptake, how trees in the anthropocene may cheat N competition with microbes by taking up N from deposition over the canopy- thanks to a dissemination grant from the CLEANFOREST cost action

looking forward to our session. Vegetation and ecosystem responses to global change - function and carbon-water relations! tomorrow bright and early first thing on 8.30 EGU Monday morning #EGU24meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/sessio...
