🌿 The National Plant Monitoring Scheme has turned 10! More than 1,000 volunteers have gathered 250k+ botanical records that feed into the UK Biodiversity Indicators. Marking the milestone, the 2024 report shares surveyor stories & a timeline of NPMS highlights. 🔗 🧪 www.npms.org.uk/article/npms...

Our new paper looking at the impacts of ash dieback and deer grazing upon woodland vegetation is now out! We found that ash dieback and deer grazing interacted in their impacts upon flora diversity and tree regeneration - and that key species such as bramble mediated a lot of these effects

Back from honyemoon in Banff and Jasper National Parks 🍁 As ever, trips abroad are great opportunities to boost my iNaturalist species list! See what I recorded here: www.inaturalist.org/observations...
