🌸Plant diversity dynamics over space and time in a warming Arctic 🌸 Our new study @nature.com analysed plant diversity change in >2000 tundra plots over 4 decades. We found that plants changed unevenly, mostly driven by warming and biotic interactions. www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵 (1/7) 🌐🧪🌱🌍

I cannot wait to attend & present at #ICCB2025! My talk is titled ‘Creating a Workflow to Harmonise Digitised Herbarium Data: A Case Study on Greenland’s Flora Enhances our Understanding of Arctic Plant Diversity’ - Biodiversity Inventories session - Monday, June 16, 10:35, Meeting Room M4. See you!

Herbarium specimens reveal drivers of Arctic shrub growth @newphyt.bsky.social Shrub specimens can be used to recreate annual growth chronologies and help understand plant responses to global change. With @annebeejay.bsky.social, ZA Panchen, JDM Speed nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Happy #Pride month! This #FungiFriday we are going on a fungal foray through the pride flag. There have been many iterations since its original conception in 1978, including the Intersex-Inclusive flag by Valentino Vecchietti – which we have recreated in fungal fashion for the LGBTQ myco-maniacs

With such short days, the Antarctic sunrises and sunsets start to merge into one... yesterday's was spectacular.... Another week or so, and the sun will not rise at all. 🧪🥼❄️🌊

New Article: "The late rise of sky-island vegetation in the European Alps" rdcu.be/epLJg A phylogenetic analysis of the flora of the Alps reveals that the flora is young and colonist rich. Its assembly was primarily driven by the Pleistocene climatic cycles.

📝 The hidden complexity of pollinator networks in gardens 🧵 doi.org/10.1007/s112... What might appear to be one network of plants and pollinators may in fact be many. #Botany #PlantScience 🧪 #Gardening #InBrief

Concern over pollinator decline has increased interest in ‘pollinator-friendly’ plants. Annual seed mixes are often grown in parks & gardens, but the choice of plants included is generally based on anecdote. Here we build an evidence-base for plants that are good for pollinators and people.

Woohoo! Publication Day! It’s finally hitting the streets, just like the plants it features. From walls to pavements, fallow waste ground, the grassy bits and street trees, it’s a celebration of urban botany and I really hope you enjoy it! www.bloomsbury.com/uk/urban-pla...

I have spent some time reflecting on this important work by @allasicanales.bsky.social - it is about the bitter potato & all the kin who are part of its interconnected world. About the damage & trauma of planetary dysregulation & colonialism - it asks us all to consider how we move forward 🌐

A study in Nature finds that, since 2000, glaciers have lost between 2% and 39% of their ice regionally and about 5% globally. https://go.nature.com/3Qz4Tj7 🧪
