🌱 Thank you to everyone who joined us for #RootStressWeek!

We hope this week brought new perspectives on root science and stimulated discussion around root responses to stress. We truly appreciate your engagement. 💚

Trees are dying in Greece (and elsewhere), but not just to wildfires - to drought, which brings on plant stress, which makes them more susceptible to insect pests and diseases.

Follow-through effects of climate change that aren't so obvious...

They survived wildfires. But something else is killing Greece’s iconic fir forests

In the Peloponnese mountains, the usually hardy trees are turning brown even where fires haven’t reached. Experts are raising the alarm on a complex crisis
