#FunFactFriday🤓
There are 1500 steps to the top of the tall tower❗
It takes about one hour to walk up there, on average. But rumor has it the record is at 20 minutes. 😮

Our latest research from the long-term Caxiuana drought experiment is now published in @FunEcology. We show responses to drought in tropical forests are dependent on canopy light exposure. https://t.co/661JoIcnSk https://t.co/xekTaVjfES

Our #PictureOfTheMonth is something pretty amidst the crazy. This time of year the striking pink Ipê tree is in full bloom. And the Ipê trees are often quite tall, extending above the forest canopy, so you can see them far and wide 💮

Studying interactions between forest & atmosphere and their impact on the climate from an observatory with a 325m tall tower in the Amazon rainforest

Fun fact🤓: There are 1500 steps to the top of t Fun fact🤓: There are 1500 steps to the top of the tall tower❕ It takes about 1 hour to walk up there, on average. But rumor has it the record is at 20 minutes😰. Walking back down is a bit faster, but you should not underestimate the strain that puts on your muscles either!😵 By the way, only ATTO scientists, technicians, and, on occasion journalists and filmmakers, are allowed to climb it since ATTO is an active research tower. Unfortunately, we have no capacity to support tourism. 📷 Martin Kunz / MPI-BGC #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #talltower #researchtower #stairs #stairstothesky
The Amazon Rainforest is not all parrots and touca The Amazon Rainforest is not all parrots and toucans. There are lots of other, smaller and less colorful birds around. Walking from the ATTO camp to the towers, you can hear plenty, but most will hide out of sight. One bird species that loves hanging out at ATTO is swallows, although you won't see them down at the camp either. They use the top of the tall tower as a rest stop. Although we don't often catch a good look at them, like Steffen here did, we always know they were there. There is plenty of poop on the upper platform, the steps, the wires... to prove it 🤷🏽‍♀️. I would guess these might be grey-breasted martins, but you bird watchers out there may correct if I'm wrong! 📷 by steffen schmidt / MPI-BGC & Iris Möbius / MPI-BGC #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #swallow #birds #birdpoop #talltower #researchtower #birdsofinstagram #birdwatching #birdlife #greybreastedmartin #swallowsofinstagram

In the Amazon rainforest, you often find more than In the Amazon rainforest, you often find more than one plant in one place. Where biodiversity is so high, and at the same time, space and access to light is rare, plants will inevitably grow on top of each other. These plants have different strategies for survival. Some will enter into symbiotic relationships with their hosts, others are parasitic species. And then there are epiphytes, which is what you see here. Orchids and bromeliads, but also mosses and lichen are often epiphytes. Generally speaking, that means plants those plants do not have their roots in the ground but take up nutrients and water from the air. And since they don't need soil, they will grow on a host, like a tree, which gets them higher up, where they are more likely to get sun and water. Unlike parasites though, they don't strip their host of nutrients. 📷 by Martin Kunz / MPI-BGC. #Amazon #AmazonRainforest #florestaamazonica #ATTO #rainforest #Brazil #research #fieldwork #science #earthscience #environment #Amazonia #AmazonReseach #tropicalforests #EarthSystemResearch #climate #climatescience #ecology #forestscience #atmosphericscience #epiphytes #epiphyte #tropicalplants #plants #biodiversity
