Ms_PymOh no, the super-laden tomato branches were too much for the stakes, crashed down and squashed the tomatillo plants behind them. I’ve cleared the broken stems, hammered in the stakes again and retied that section. Now I have a bunch of green tomatoes that need a plan and a brain that has been pulped by proofreading. #GardeningNZ #PlantDeath.
William HammondTest run of the new electronics for our next generation of hotter-drought experiments on #WhatKillsTrees. This coffee tree seedling (Coffea arabica) was a handy test case as we prepare to delve into mechanisms of heat-induced #PlantDeath in the #Anthropocene.
Hi Mastodon, time for my #introduction post!
I’m a plant ecophysiologist and global change ecologist studying #WhatKillsTrees. Broadly, I’m interested in how plant vascular systems react to extreme environmental conditions—especially regarding plant function, dysfunction, and the limits of survival. I teach about #PlantDeath in the #Anthropocene. More about me and my lab at the university of Florida can be found on the lab webpage, at https://ecophyslab.com.
