Sphagnum mosses are fascinating from physiology, ecology, and climate perspectives. I'm especially proud of this @newphyt.bsky.social paper meant to inspire new research on ecoevolution and biodiversity. Check out the incredible cover art by Blanka Aguero! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Yes! Two independent studies, using very different approaches (and published in the same month), suggest that climate warming has been detectable since the late 19th C. Plants detected climate warming about 135 years ago! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... | @newphyt.bsky.social 🧪🌍🌿🌾🌳🌐

I am excited to share that the first chapter of my PhD thesis has been published! The paper is titled “Harmonising digitised herbarium data to enhance biodiversity knowledge: Major steps towards an updated checklist for the flora of Greenland”. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat. In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. scim.ag/44cSw3Z

Our study ‘The #global #human impact on #biodiversity’ is out in @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🌍🌐🐟🌿🪲 Unprecedented synthesis of >2000 studies led by @francoiskeck.bsky.social shows humans are not only shrinking species numbers—but reshaping entire communities across the planet. 🧵1/5

A major milestone of our >4-year effort to bring #butterfly diversity and its threat to global attention. We show most species and hotspots cluster in mountains, with #climatechange projected to erode up to 67% of the thermal niche supporting this diversity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
