THE FATHERS, COMPUTERS AND US

open access: yesModern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay, designed as a complement to opinions expressed by Rowan Williams and some speakers at the conference in his honour, explores features of early Christianity which suggest a positive evaluation of artificial intelligence. Noting that the fear of reducing humans to machines has been joined in the modern age by the fear that machines ...

Reduced snow cover at the alpine treeline: resistance and recovery of saplings

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary At high elevations, tree saplings and shrubs are usually protected by mid‐winter snow cover, although climate change is expected to extend the snow‐free (SF) period. Exposure to winter drought, freeze–thaw events and freezing temperatures will therefore increase, inducing damages to the hydraulic system and to living cells, resulting in reduced

Beyond high‐throughput: leveraging plant phenotyping to improve understanding and prediction of plant growth through process‐based models

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The last decade has marked a period of rapid innovation in high‐throughput phenotyping (HTP) of plants. This includes the establishment of robotic phenotyping infrastructure, development of new sensors, and improvements in computation for downstream analysis.

Island influences on plant functional traits and trait–trait associations across species‐ and community‐scales

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The island rule predicts gigantism or dwarfism in body size of island species relative to their mainland counterparts. However, whether other functional traits shift and whether trait–trait associations on islands differ between species and community levels remains unclear. We measured 13 carbon‐ and water‐related functional traits in 37 shared

Effects of warming on plant uptake of post‐fire nitrogen in an arctic heath tundra

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Postfire nitrogen (N) becomes increasingly important with the rising frequency of fires in arctic tundra, and climate warming is expected to accelerate plant recovery following fire. However, how plants differ in utilizing this postfire N and how their postfire N uptake responds to warming remains unknown.
