In the last two weeks, our G4B project (www.grass4b.com) had wide coverage (8! presentations) at two important events: the IALE 2025 European Landscape Ecology Congress and Forum Carpaticum 2025. @euracalpenv.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social @biodiversa.eu 👇

Forest matter — not just as blocks of carbon.

Berlin is a wonderful place to live—I’ve always considered it my second home. The Geography department at @humboldtuni.bsky.social is especially strong, and you can work with many AMAZING colleagues there!

Deadline abstract submission: March 14, 2025 Join us at IALE 2025 iale2025.sav.sk within two sessions closely related to our G4B project: S3G–Interdisciplinary Responses: Perspectives for Grassland Research and Conservation Projects S4G–Remote Sensing of the Grassland-Dominated Landscapes

It's amazing to see how much landscapes changed. In the G4B project, we strongly believe that the biodiversity of grasslands depends on the past legacies of land-use management. We look at historical maps, satellites & aerial imagery, landscape changes 🗺️, and relate them to grassland diversity.

We knew this kind of stuff was coming, but it doesn't make it acceptable. Purging science is an attack on democracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Land Use Framework consultation government is launching is necessary and important. We urgently need to make strategic national decisions about what should go where: to restore ecosystems, stop urban flooding and better plan development.

Speaking about the grassland diversity, how it really looks like? This timelapse gives some insights from a hotspot in the Carpathians. (author V. Sifra). Few more timelapses at our G4B project website: www.grass4b.com @wslresearch.bsky.social @biodiversaplus.bsky.social

Productive discussions on G4B grassland habitat and diversity remote sensing and protection with our partners at Humboldt University today. #G4B @g4biodiv.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social @biodiversaplus.bsky.social @tkuemmerle.bsky.social

🌍 Mega-droughts are becoming more frequent and intense globally. Our study in Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... shows that multi-year droughts have significantly increased over the last 40 years with severe impacts @wslresearch.bsky.social @wsl-dme.bsky.social @extremeswsl.bsky.social (1/7) 🧵

How is digitalisation changing spatial planning? WSL researcher Anna Hersperger has been awarded an SNSF Advanced Grant of CHF 1.5 million to investigate this. www.wsl.ch/en/news/chf-... @snf-ch.bsky.social
