🌱 How could the post-2027 CAP be updated to promote #intercropping in Europe? 🫛 In this video, Boglárka Bozsogi from @organicseurope.bsky.social presents some of the recommendations from our Project. Also gathered in a policy brief: intercropvalues.eu/wp-content/u... youtu.be/bi1drtErmaE?...

#LegacyNet results in The Conversation. More diverse #mixtures of forage grassland species deliver higher yields than grass-only with higher nitrogen fertiliser. And the yield benefits were larger in higher temperatures. #multispecies #multi4more theconversation.com/growing-a-mi...

🚨New paper!🚨 Models predict trees like beech will migrate north as climate warms, but rarely consider tree reproduction. Jessie shows these “refuges” are exactly where climate warming will disrupt seed production the most. They may not be such great climate refuges after all. doi.org/10.1111/ele....

New paper by Solbach et al. @newphyt.bsky.social They find that repeated summer droughts weaken plant defense against protistan plant parasites 🌱🦠 doi.org/10.1111/nph.... @ag-bonkowski.bsky.social @dumack.bsky.social @eisenhauerlab.bsky.social

“No, we’ve all accepted that the goal is to publish anything and everything and see what sticks. More students. More “collaborations”. So many papers that no human can possibly be paying very much attention to any of it. And we all know where the incentives lie.”

Irish research finds larger areas of habitat are needed to increase pollinator populations & to achieve the same species numbers in smaller areas, “marked increases in quality are required”. www.siliconrepublic.com/innovation/p...

This deep analysis of what the Commission's CAP proposals mean for environmental and climate action by farmers suggests there will be far less emphasis on these objectives in the next CAP ieep.eu/publications...

“This is very serious for the populations..we also expect summer temperatures in Spain & France to reach unprecedented levels in the next few years.. Many of the events predicted for 2050 or 2070 are already happening. We underestimated the speed of change. What we’re seeing now is an acceleration”

Our study on the biodiversity impacts of agriculture in @natureecoevo.bsky.social rdcu.be/ekept Minimizing biodiversity loss requires a balance of expansion and intensification,while preserving unmodified land #Biodiversity #LandUse #ConservationScience @dleclere.bsky.social @tnewbold31.bsky.social

Knocknahila Peatland Rewetting Project in West Clare. Great collaboration with farmer Sean Tubridy, Knocknahila Biodiversity Community Group and my own role as Clare Biodiversity Officer. This project is supported by Clare CoCo Biodiversity Office and NPWS

I have a very immediate appointment need for a junior PD position as a chapter scientist on the @ipcc.bsky.social Special Report on Climate Change and Cities. Initial appointment will be 6 months so I can appoint immediately but extendable to the two years of the report cycle. (1/2)

A #watercolour of the front entrance to Johnstown Castle - good fun!

I've turned my back on and lost those that I love so many times. I wish I could figure out why. It hurts so much when they're not in my life any more and I have to start again. And by "those" I mean nice pens.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement. Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

For those previously enquiring about the availability of data from our recent publication 'Estimated distribution of high nature value forest in the Republic of Ireland'. Here’s a link to a high-res map and shapefile on #teagasc repository: t-stor.teagasc.ie/handle/11019... #openaccess

I missed this clanger - Ireland’s projected compliance costs (with conservative estimates) amount to nearly 1% of our gross national income (GNI*)! Whereas member states who over-perform against their targets stand to gain substantially.

The full report and slides are available here - congratulations to @fiscalcouncil.bsky.social and @ccacireland.bsky.social on the much needed analysis and super visuals. www.fiscalcouncil.ie/a-colossal-m...

“A colossal missed opportunity” - a clear message in a new report from from Ireland’s fiscal and climate advisory councils. Instead of taking action to cut emissions (making energy cleaner & more secure, & diversifying farming) we face €26 billion in compliance costs to meet EU targets

📣 We've have a permanent research officer role available for a scientist interested in working on water quality mitigation measures and catchment science @teagasc.bsky.social in Teagasc, Johnstown Castle, Wexford. Join our team 🤗 Further details topjobs-teagasc.thehirelab.com/LiveJobs/Job...
