Heat alone might not be the main threat, as high rainfall may have helped plants tolerate heat stress. 📄 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecochg.2026.10011123 Feb 2026 23:37 +0000at://did:plc:eor32l2bqacuhp5ml7bsmfqt/app.bsky.feed.post/3mfkszuf7cc2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/zoexiro.bsky.social/post/3mamem76mqk2sNice way to wrap up 2025 🎓🌱 Published the final paper from my PhD!
