🦋 New UKCEH research with @naturalengland.bsky.social and @btobirds.bsky.social shows the positive impacts of agri-environment schemes (AES) on butterflies. Paper: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... @jappliedecology.bsky.social 🧵🧪 1/

Hurricane Erin is moving northwards between Bermuda and the east coast of the USA 🌀 It will head across the Atlantic this weekend and lose its hurricane status Exactly how it then impacts the UK weather next week will depend on it's precise path.... one to watch 👀

While most woodlands had stable soil carbon, plots with ash dieback decreased in carbon - with potentially big implications for woodland carbon sequestration! The paper is available #openaccess at doi.org/10.1111/gcb.... and further information on the survey here: www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/...

Our paper on the impacts of ash dieback on soil carbon is finally out! 🎉 #soilscience #ashdieback #woodlands In this, we looked at the changes in soil organic carbon content of ~100 woodlands across GB over the past fifty years. 1/

Key #airpollutant #emissions targeted for reductions and monitored under EU legislation continued to decline across most EU Member States, according to the latest data assessment. However, reducing ammonia emissions continues to present a bigger challenge.

Long-term monitoring data was essential for this study of changes to phytoplankton.

But a polite ask to birders. If you see a relatively rare butterfly species (e.g. in Cambs: Wall, Clouded Yellow, Chalk Hill Blue, Small Blue, any Fritillary) then please log the sighting in iRecord [iRecord butterflies is an excellent app] this way the record will be of use. 3/3
