It's out! 🧪 "Lines in the landscape," on the under-appreciated importance of #ditches as diverse ecosystems: doi.org/10.1038/s432.... By @peatymike.bsky.social, @fluitans.bsky.social, @drtatariw.bsky.social, @timaukel.bsky.social, @jordannabergman.bsky.social, @juliecrabot.bsky.social, ...

Bottom line... Ditch Network Maintenance (DNM) doesn't help tree growth and increases drought risk. www.mdpi.com/3446686

Not from the EU and looking to come to Sweden to do reseach? There is a grant for that! Applications taken through December 2025. www.vr.se/english/appl...

I had a few people at #ESA2025 say that it was hard to find where to apply for jobs in Sweden. If you want to check jobs at university, here's the website: www.slu.se/en/about-slu... #forests #restorationecology #forestry #silviculture

I’m at #ESA2025 through tomorrow and may be hiring soon! If you are interested in biodiversity and ecology of peatlands, riparian zones, ditches, and/or forestry let’s meet up and chat! PhD and postdoc opportunities with all the benefits of the Swedish social system will be published soon!

100 papers every ECOLOGY student should read - from 2017. If you could add a paper to this list, what would it be? biodiversitydynamics.wordpress.com/2017/11/13/1... #phdstudent #ecology #forestry #biodiversity

Last week to apply!

Come do a postdoc in our department with one of the biggest rising stars around (@kuglerovastripe.bsky.social) ! Northern lights, cozy winters, forests, water, parental leave, and reasonable boundaries to foster a good work-life balance.

In January I'm starting as an Assistant Professor in Ecosystem Ecology, and will be part of @icelabumu.bsky.social ! IceLab is an interdisciplinary center with an open and stimulating environment, and being there is my dream job. Now we are starting a research school with multiple PhDs available 👇

Ten practical guidelines for #microclimate research in terrestrial ecosystems doi.org/10.1111/2041... from #SoilTemp core group, lead by @pieterdefrenne.bsky.social

PHD STUDENT WANTED! As part of the @kawresearch.bsky.social Wallenberg Initiative in Forest Research (WIFORCE), we are offering a fully funded, 4yr, #PhD position studying #riparian forest #biodiversity & #microclimate. Due date Jan 21st! www.slu.se/en/about-slu...

Polar stratospheric clouds so beautiful I nearly cried. Little glimpses of the heavens…

Interesting pre-print showing that clear-cutting in boreal and northern temperate is followed by a substantial and long-lasting decline in forest soil C stocks.

In Washington’s Central Cascades, The Nature Conservancy is carrying out cutting-edge forest restoration work to reduce wildfire risk, improve watershed health and build climate resilience. www.cnn.com/2024/12/02/w...

With climate change upon us fish need need wide buffer zones of mixed mature forest to keep rivers cool. Sweden is unprepared with < 5 m mean zones. River temps are now more often over 20°, critical for salmon and trout, lets put a proper green roof over our rivers.

First advent fires on campus in Umeå. Magical sunrise at 8:30!

New #silviculture paper that shows that #irregularshelterwood may reduce #wildfire effects in #centralBC #lodgepolepine stands. This case study suggests effectiveness of irregular shelterwood in mitigating #wildfirerisk + promoting #resilience. journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Studying intermittent streams' expansion and contraction aids understanding of their ecosystem services and environmental responses. This research which will be presented during #AGU24 was conducted in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest. 🗓️🔗: bit.ly/AGU24_H11T08

Looking for a new textbook for the #silviculture course I am leading (w/ guest lectures from experts). We're using Pommerening's new #ContinuousCoverForestry Book, but also looking for either a book, book chapters, or key papers to supplement. Any suggestions? #CCF www.google.com/search?sca_e...

My son learned to use a pacifier the trip that started this side project-he’s now 8yo! Life happens!! ”River restoration effects on dispersal & the development of riparian seed bank: do poor seed banks limit restoration of boreal riparian zones?” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Three (!) positions as Assistant Professor in #Biodiversity We hope to get one to our department #biogeography A super recruitment within Life sciences. Maximum of 7 since PhD 🌍🧪 #biodiversity #academic #climatechange #lifescience #ecology #StockholmUniversity Please re-🦋 www.su.se/english/news...

Great winter field trip to the local continuous cover forestry field trial! Crust so thick we could walk on it! Being course leader for a Silviculture course in N Sweden in the middle of winter has its challenges, but it’s so worth it to get the students out of the classroom. #CCF #hyggesfritt

Oh, shiny tower of sieves… making me feel very professional and grown up to now own my own!!! And tips for how to better mark them? Scratch my name? Sharpie won’t last long when cleaning with alcohol!!!

What an amazing resource we have in the Swedish National Forest and Soil Inventories! When your study site is a whole country, with >400 plots, you can find patterns... Ditches show systematic impacts... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Just submitted my 1st, 1st author paper since my husband died 3 yrs ago. From a project born out of necessity-when Covid + Cancer made Finland not possible. I can't thank @kuglerovastripe.bsky.social enough for her drive, support, friendship and help w/everything from field work to writing💙🙏

A bit about me!

Check out open #fluvial #geomorphology #postdoc in northern #Sweden! At Umeå uni, I can (almost) guarantee snowy winters, northern lights & very long & light summer days but can definitely guarantee a job with full salary, ~5 wks paid vacation & Swedish social benefits (eg, healthcare, more) 😊
