New paper out in @jappliedecology.bsky.social! We investigated how forest structural heterogeneity and climate influence temperate dung beetles in production forests. 🪲

☀️Hotter and drier conditions under ongoing climate change are causing tree mortality events and altering forest dynamics worldwide. 🧑‍💻Learn more in the webinar: ☀️Limits and opportunities in predicting drought-induced forest mortality 🗓️24 March 2026; 🕓4:00 pm CET 🔗 zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Querida comunidad ecoinformática venimos con una actividad muy interesante, así que id reservando la fecha en vuestras agendas porque... ¡Vuelven las Jornadas de Ecoinformática! Nos vemos el 1–2 octubre, Sevilla. Os dejamos un formulario de pre-registro 👇 shorturl.at/2TtLB

Central Europe has seen unprecedented forest disturbances recently, but how are forests recovering? We surveyed disturbance hotspots in 10 countries 3-5 years after disturbance, finding ample tree regeneration and no signs of forest loss (median 4750 stems/ha), but... 1/2 doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

New paper by @albavianasoto.bsky.social and @corneliussenf.bsky.social on forest reburns in southern Europe, published in Glob. Ecol. and Biogeography🌲🔥 Highlight: 30.1% of burned forest area experiencing multiple fire events since 1985. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🚨 GAMs have moved on—so it’s time for an update. On March 3, 2026 (17:00–19:00 CET) I’ll be livestreaming an updated introduction to Generalized Additive Models in R 📺 YouTube livestream link: youtube.com/live/A9U8e1K... #RStats #mgcv #GAMs #gratia #statistics 🧪

Fast-growing trees are set to dominate the #forests of the #future — but at a cost🌳 Our Nature Plants (@natplants.nature.com) study shows a global shift toward "sprinter" tree species, while slow-growing, functionally critical #trees face elevated #extinction risk. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Led by Roel Brienen, our paper in @natcomms.nature.com "Contrasting pathways to tree longevity in gymnosperms and angiosperms" is finally out and formatted. Other bluesky folks contributing to the paper were @yellowbuckeye.bsky.social and @rmtrr.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are hiring a postdoctoral researcher!🌲 🌳 🌍 📍Interested in boreal and temperate forest productivity and respiration? 💻 Like to work with large datasets, remote sensing and models? 🏔️ Love an alpine setting in a small town? Come and join us at KIT! Application details: t1p.de/qctj7

Carbon dioxide fertilization drives about 45% of US forest carbon uptake, 66 teragrams of carbon per year, while changes in tree age composition contribute 89 teragrams per year, according to plot-level data from 14 forests. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/P0Tz50Y1Mgh

Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes. Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

Zotero 8 is out in stable: www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-8/ A bunch of new stuff -- the new citation dialog especially is a huge (and long overdue) improvement; massively speeds up anything I do in Word/GDocs with Zotero

Massive update to the Global Wood Density Database out today @newphyt.bsky.social led by the brilliant Fabian Fischer. What an amazing community resource! 🧪🍁🌐 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In the @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social Global Climate Highlights 2025 report we used #dataviz to present its key messages and bring them to a wider audience. This first example shows daily temperature anomalies from 1940 to 2025 and it was inspired by the work of @erwanrivault.com (BBC)

Hemos empezado el año con un artículo nuevo, y este es muy bonito authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... "Summer aridity modulates tree growth response to thinning in Mediterranean pines" Vamos con el primer hilo del año (1/13) @csicdivulga.bsky.social #SoyForestal

In C Europe, there is a push to align forest management more closely with natural processes, but is this "closer-to-nature" management able to sustain biodiversity and ecosystem services? Great synthesis led by @anastritih.bsky.social with input from many leading experts! doi.org/10.1007/s407...

¿No te ha tocado la lotería? ¡Pues no te preocupes porque desde el grupo de Ecoinformática hemos estado preparando algo especial!🎄 🎁 Sabemos que os habéis portado genial este año, así que qué mejor que comenzar el 2026 apuntándote al taller de elaboración de paquetes de R 🚀 shorturl.at/N6J3V

🎉 labeleR-paper has been published in @ecosistemas-aeet.bsky.social! 👪 Together with @iramosgutierrez.bsky.social @jimenamateomartin.bsky.social & @frodsan.bsky.social! 📃 We briefly explain how to use it, its advantages and possibilities... Take a look! revistaecosistemas.net/index.php/ec...

🧵 1/5 New paper out at @jappliedecology.bsky.social We evaluate how #carbon allocation strategies determine the long-term carbon sink potential of large-scale pine reforestations under climate change. We combined #RemoteSensing and #dendrochronological plots doi.org/10.1111/1365...

{ggview} can print plots to Viewer (Rstudio or Positron) with true scaling. Adjust plot settings and see the final proportions immediately. Save the plot once 👌 e.g.: ggplot(...) + ggview::canvas(width = 220, height = 220*2/3, units = "mm", dpi = 300) per @nrennie.bsky.social #datavis #rstats

Excited to launch the new improved Reproducible Code guide from @britishecologicalsociety.org @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social FREE online here! www.britishecologicalsociety.org//wp-content/... Amazing work by some very talented ECRs. We hope it’s useful!

🚨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....
