'Forest restoration' is booming, but biodiversity isn’t. Why? A lot of the time, it's just planting so-called 'forests' of alien monocultures. In other words, nothing but another bullshit money-making racket. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

A Review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity summarizes how differing forest restoration approaches affect impacts on biodiversity, and key knowledge gaps and research priorities for achieving biodiversity-centred restoration. https://go.nature.com/4c0XIuh 🧪

Our study ‘The global human impact on biodiversity’ is out in Nature! Through an unprecedented synthesis (2133 studies!) we show that humans are not only shrinking species numbers—but reshaping entire communities across the planet. 🌍🌐🐟🌿🪲 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌴🌳 Tree species richness increases climate buffering 🌡️🥵 I am so happy to share our latest piece, now published in Ecology Letters! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Tree diversity increases carbon sequestration #TreeDivNet 🌳🌲 scienceblog.com/tree-diversi...

Are tropical #forests keeping up with climate change? Not quite, it turns out. In study led by @jeaggu.bsky.social in @science.org, we used a massive plot dataset from across Americas to check whether tree characteristics are tracking #climatechange. They hardly do. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

In forest experiments, tree species capable of high rates of photosynthesis grow more slowly than species with lower maximum rates of photosynthesis — with implications for tree-planting projects. https://go.nature.com/4iWSlyd

Interested in #forest restoration and #carbon sequestration? 🚨 In our new study in @globalchangebio.bsky.social we show that 🌳 Tree diversity 🌲 increases carbon stocks and fluxes in a tropical forest experiment. #TreeDivNet, @uni-freiburg.de onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
