In which direction should Arctic herbivory science move in the coming years and decades?🦌🫎🐛🦣? @icbarrio.bsky.social once again brought us all together to put pen to paper📝 to make a list!

This recent paper by colleagues Szymon Czyżewski and @jcsvenning.bsky.social from @econovoau.bsky.social calls for nothing less than a paradigm shift in the way we should view European forests🌲🌳🌱 w 🐗🫎🐮 as some of the main (missing) players. Hopefully it will resonate! phys.org/news/2025-05...

Looking much forward to welcoming @bjenquist.bsky.social later this week in Aarhus when @au.dk brings together decision makers, researchers, NGOs and industry to a discussion of what happens Beyond Carbon Neutrality: matchpoints.au.dk/matchpoints2...

As momentum on biodiversity & climate action faces headwinds, we must continue to step up. I’m excited to speak at Aarhus Uni. MatchPoints Conference this week (May 14–16) on The Metabolic Planet: How Energy & Ecology Shape Climate Solutions @au.dk w @jcsvenning.bsky.social & @jeep4x4.bsky.social 🧪🌐

📢We’re hiring an Events and Special Projects Coordinator! This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who is passionate about Nature Recovery and wants to work with a team that really makes a difference! 🌳 We have some exciting events in the pipeline that you could lead! Deadline 11th April!

Are you interested in boldly reimagining how we can finance #naturerecovery at scale, beyond mainstream market mechanisms? We are advertising a one-year postdoctoral researcher at @naturerecovery.bsky.social at Oxford. Closing date April 30th tinyurl.com/muebaf86 @oxfordgeography.bsky.social

#Biomass🌳 demands create perverse incentives around the world 🌎 A recent study from PIK showed how biomass production beyond the current agricultural area will sacrifice other #planetary #boundaries, such as #biodiversity: www.nature.com/articles/s43... abcnews.go.com/Business/wir...

Forest restoration is booming but biodiversity isn’t

Two new positions (PhD and 3y postdoc) at GEUS studying ancient landslides in Denmark. Funded by @carlsbergfondet.dk Come work with me! www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/r... www.jobindex.dk/jobannonce/r...

So what actually happened when the dinosaurs died?🦕 Using simple ecological rules*, we explore how the interplay between ecosystem engineering, seed size and light environment can explain temporal patterns of animal and seed sizes from the fossil record🌳🐘🐀🌱 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

All in on this one: denmarkification.com 😂

An important shout from Spence and colleagues at @harvard.edu It feels double-relevant in times when the Arctic is hot but Arctic geopolitics is hotter, and the people at the centre of it all are not always treated as they should be🇬🇱 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Another testament to how important it is to have realistic expectations to how much climate mitigation trees can deliver on decadal timescales. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

A few more days to apply! Together with @jcsvenning.bsky.social and as part of @econovoau.bsky.social we're offering this fab 2-yr postdoc position: international.au.dk/about/profil...

Two really exciting opportunities to work with great people in a truly amazing setting in the northern Swedish boreal🔥🌲🌍

Looking to explore High Arctic carbon dynamics? 🚨 We're offering a PhD opportunity at #Zackenberg Research Station! Dive into 25 years of #GEM and #ICOS data, conduct fieldwork, and study Arctic ecosystems under climate change. 🌍 🔗 Share or Apply now: tinyurl.com/Zackenberg #ArcticResearch #PhDLife

Great paper by @annvirkk.bsky.social and colleagues confirming that #wildfires are a really important and growing factor in #Northern #carbon budgets - offsetting the sink capacity🌍🌲🔥 #noplacefortreeplanting www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted to see the first abstracts have been submitted to our session. Already some exciting titles!!🦫🐛🦬 The deadline is approaching (2 days to go) so please forward to people interested in the role of animals in the Earth system🌎 See u at #EGU25! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

A shift from >60% towards 30-50% tree-cover projected in the boreal region in the coming decades.🔥 www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Opportunity for additional tree-planting? 🌲 Nope!: theconversation.com/in-the-arcti...

Are you still unsure where to join the discussion with people in #biogeoscience on how #animals affect the #Earth system?🦬 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... See you in Vienna at #EGU2025! Submission deadline is 15th Jan, 1300 CET @eurogeosciences.bsky.social

"We may fool ourselves, but not the Earth system"🌍 A great piece in @theconversation.com about why tree-planting at high Northern latitudes will do more harm to #climatechange than good while also threatening the unique #Arctic #biodiversity🦌🌿 theconversation.com/in-the-arcti...

A fine yet worrying piece about the threads to the mighty musk with some familiar faces, including @nmschmidt.bsky.social from @aarhusuni.bsky.social and the excellent KISS station manager Chris Sørensen 🦬❄️🌿 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Extremely thrilled to see that the Novo Nordisk Foundation have now included biodiversity and ecosystem science in their strategic research area🌿🦌😃 We need very good people to apply for this exciting position - it's important! apply.workable.com/j/29C682EBEE...

The #Arctic flora and fauna are not only responding to #climate change - they also modulate the way ecosystems feed back to the climate system. Read more about how here: www.frontiersin.org/journals/env... @beestfloris.bsky.social @larsholst.bsky.social @jeep4x4.bsky.social @nordborn.bsky.social

Understanding and predicting #climatechange is all about the #Earth's #energybalance, right?🌎 Correct! But someone has to do all the hard work... #Plants and #microbes are doing their part, but we often overlook the important role of #animals as moderators🐛🦌 www.frontiersin.org/journals/env...

Job alert in Ecological Remote Sensing of tropical forests at BioEO lab www.jesusaguirre-spatialecology.com @ecioxford.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk @oxfordecosystems.bsky.social working with me, @ymalhi.bsky.social @felipemartello.bsky.social, Laura M. Suz at Kew and many more -> Apply! shorturl.at/uM4F0

Are you a science communicator keen on working with the best science journalists in Denmark? Check out this opportunity to join @videnskab.dk as international editor and spearhead the new collaboration with @theconversation.com 🔥 videnskab.dk/om-videnskab...

Have a look at some of the fantastic work by our PhD student, @jedsol.bsky.social. Follow him here to stay tuned on this interesting novel approach to soil health estimation

Another testament to the importance of accounting for #albedo to understand #climatechange and therefore also climate change mitigation, as we emphasised in our recent paper for high latitudes (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Our study warning against Northern tree planting as a climate solution made it into CBC News. 🌲🎄🦌🔥 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Want to present your novel #research on how #animals impact the #EarthSystem? 🐘🌱🌍 Check our session at #EGU25 and submit your abstract before 15 Jan 2025 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... Looking forward to talk #zoogeoscience with you🦬 #rewilding #EGU25 #biogeochemistry #climate

New Perspective: Tree planting is no climate solution at northern high latitudes - led by Jeppe Aagaard Kristensen @jeep4x4.bsky.social of @aarhusuni.bsky.social #soilcarbonstorage #climatecrisis #Arctic #naturebasedsolutions #herbivory #Permafrost www.nature.com/articles/s41...

One of the things we recently highlighted for making tree-planting a bad idea for climate mitigation at high latitudes was wildfires: phys.org/news/2024-11... This new study shows how this means unprecedented amounts of aerosol emissions, further enhancing warming 🔥 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
