Latest video is on niche differentiation and waterfowl. Why surface feeding and diving ducks look and fly differently, why pintail look elegant, why gadwall are mean to coot, why shoveler feed together and how pochard and tufted diets differ completely. youtu.be/-Aymrp9mr4E?...

West-east gradient across Amazonia in fast-slow life history strategies of forests beautifully illustrated by new ATDN paper; forests are 'fast' in the west and 'slow' in the northeast of Amazonia doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Our newest paper led by Julián Tijerín-Triviño finds that #climatechange is slowing the productivity of European #forests: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/geb.70011 A 🧵: We used 3 surveys over 15-30 years from >13,900 NFI plots in Mediterranean, temperate and boreal regions (1/5)

Ready to learn how to use LiDAR for research in #forestry and natural resources using #R? This week I am releasing a 7-part series to help you get started! Share with anyone you know who wants to get started. Part 1 covers acquiring, & viewing LiDAR data! bit.ly/lidR-module1

Please RT and share! JOIN THE LAB! We are looking to recruit a motivated PhD student to study how fire shapes forest dynamics in #longleaf pine at the beautiful @thejonesctr.bsky.social with Dr. Heather Alexander Auburn University. Apps due Feb 28, 2025. www.jonesctr.org/wp-content/u...

I'm reposting my tutorials for learning #LiDAR in #R as I migrate to BlueSky! Here is Part 7of my 7-part series to help you get started! Module 7 puts everything together to learn parallel processing for large-scale analysis! t.co/VldnROjXm2

Global change refugia could shelter species from multiple threats by @mrillig.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s44...

New in #PNAS, temp-driven increased seed production in European beech caused 28% reduction in annual tree ring increments since 2005. Important for European forests and good example using long-term data (43 yr) of how past does not predict future #forestdynamics. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

I believe that the more we understand nature, the more we can appreciate its beauty. I want to help decode the patterns of nature. Why are habitats found where they are? What makes certain species thrive? What do these ecosystems tell us about the past? Hope you enjoy. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The #EU Deforestation & Forest Degradation Regulation is due to come into force in 2026. It will ban products made using raw materials from deforested areas on the EU market. To this end, research needs to come up with indicators to differentiate between preserved & degraded forests. 👉 lc.cx/iEG_5p

Promising method to obtain interaction networks for a large number of species … and this is just the beginning! by @francoiskeck.bsky.social, Henry Broadbent and @florianaltermatt.bsky.social 🌐

🌿 Botanic gardens are full! 👉 A. Cano et al. Jan. 2025 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🔑 This study analyzes a century of data, revealing how living plant collections reached peak capacity due to resource limits. With 40% of plant species at risk, it calls for upscaling botanic gardens! 🌐🧪🌍🦤🦑🪴🍁

🌳One way of combating #deforestation is to define zones at particular risk. The difficult part is identifying those zones. 🗺Tropical countries now have access to a new plugin, #Deforisk, developed by @fao.org & #CIRAD, that maps risks on a national or local level 👉 lc.cx/aBFuxx @ghvi.bsky.social

100 years with the Lotka-Volterra equation... let's celebrate!

NEW PAPER out, and one of my personal favourites! We bring you ten practical guidelines for microclimate research, and it is the methodological rulebook you have all been waiting for! I walk you through it here ⬇️ the3dlab.org/2024/12/17/t...

How do tropical rainforest trees respond to warming? 🌡️🌿We experimentally warmed canopy leaves by 4°C for 8 months and found significant declines in photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, with no shift in Topt. Read the new paper, led by Kristine Crous here: shorturl.at/AVTOk
