Hello, I'm completely new to Mastodon. I'm a scientist, so I thought a server about scientific communication would be interesting. I'm a plant physiologist, more specifically a forest tree ecophysiologist, working on how trees acclimate to #DroughtStress, and generally interested in the effect of #ClimateChange on #Forests .
