Challenging modelling predictions for the impact of elevated CO2 on water limited woodlands
One of the expected effects of rising atmospheric CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is an increase in plant water use efficiency due to...
Disentangling light, temperature and water effects on the carbon balance of Mediterranean woodlands
Last August, Functional Plant Biology published online our paper on the effects of soil water and temperature on light inhibition in...
Our paper on bryophytes is out!
Last year, I spent a lot of time learning about the functioning of mosses and liverworts. I am a plant physiologist, but I must confess I...
Age does not always matters to achieve water use efficiency at the leaf level
Our Master student Noelia Saavedra defended her thesis “Effects of ontogeny and water stress on stomatal regulation on different plant...
How accurate are our predictions of C-sequestration capacity in a global change scenario?
Rising atmospheric CO2 concentration enhances plant productivity and hence the export of C-compounds to the below-ground ecosystem...
Research opportunity open at the ECOFUN team
We are looking for a highly motivated MSc. student enrolled in their second year of a MSc. programme with good English language skills...
Tracking woodland water use efficiency under future atmospheric conditions
The first paper coming out of the EucFACE experiment is now available online from Functional Ecology. Here, we show that in a future...
What can we learn from mosses and liverwort gas-exchange in the light… and in the dark!
Mosses and liverworts (phylum Bryophyta) are poikilohydric organisms that can tolerate oscillations in their tissue water content, but...
