What *actually* works — right here, right now — to address climate change? Here you go. This is the result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and analysis from the Project Drawdown team.

Dan Simberloff is perhaps best known for his work that is foundational to the field of invasion biology. He recently wrote the book “Ecological Explosions: The History of Biological Invasions and Invasion Science”, which explores the history and evolution of the field. 📖

Asistimos a una cruzada contra la ciencia y contra la ética. Para añadir munición, una diputada del PP, Milagros Marcos, nos habla de lobos “asesinos”. El magufismo y la indecencia mezclados en una pócima envenenada. Vamos a ganar a esta banda. www.elconfidencial.com/espana/tribu...

Hoxe despedimos a unha figura esencial para a ciencia do solo en Galicia. Con profundo pesar comunicamos o falecemento de María Tarsy Carballas Fernández, edafóloga do Instituto de Investigacións Agrobiolóxicas de Galicia e referente para a ciencia galega e internacional e para a MBG-CSIC.

📄Out now 📄: 90-year trends in Switzerland show declines in butterfly and saproxylic beetle richness around the mid-20th century, linked to agricultural mechanisation. Some groups have recovered in recent decades, especially warm-adapted species. Specialised and cold-adapted species remained low.🦋🪲

Will climate change increase global forest deadwood carbon stocks (because of increasing tree productivity and mortality) or decrease it (because of increased deadwood decomposition)? Find out in the new paper by Edelmann et al., out now in @commsearth.nature.com doi.org/10.1038/s432...

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.

Even now, after so many years in the game, I am amazed how after more than a year and three rounds of mostly positive reviews, a single over negative reviewer, who clearly does not understand the statistical models used, has the power to overturn a rigorous work.

The small but great delegation of the @biologiaub.bsky.social in the #EGU26 is all heading back to Barcelona. It’s been a really estimulating (and a bit tiring) week, but full of interesting scientific insights and funny moments

📢 Reminder to join us for our SSS Special Program Group session (SSS0.1) on how to face the last policy challenges in EU. 📍Tomorrow morning at 10.45am in Room D1 🔗 Link to the session: lnkd.in/dkeqGvGn #SoilScience #EUPolicy #ScienceForPolicy #EGU26 #EGU #EGUSSS

Brilliant @saramaranonjimenez.bsky.social explaining the complexities of the coupling and uncoupling of C and N cycles in subarctic grasslands across short and long-term warming gradients. And also featuring the N priming experiments of Jinyuan Yu for her PhD thesis that looks exciting!

It’getting hot in here! In full swag @vallicrosah.bsky.social takes the floor at #EGU26 and shows which are the main drivers of T50 values at a global scale. Great talk and outstanding paper incoming!

Great 1st day at #EGU26 Best poster session ever! Very well scheduled before the morning oral presentations begun chanelled many people down there. Almost 2 hours of sharing results. I even got a nice gift from Chiao-Ping Wang…

Are you going to #EGU26 next week? Interested in soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning? I'll be presenting novel results of a cool experiment about soil fauna-microbe interactions at the poster session of Monday 4th from 8:30 to 12:30 at Hall X3 (basement purple level -2) at board X3.75

La línea roja no es el precio del petróleo. Es la temperatura global de la superficie del mar batiendo récords diarios, superando la ya desconcertante aceleración de los últimos 3 años. La anomalía más grave no está en Wall Street. Es la climática. Y a (casi) nadie le importa.
