Humans have been reshaping Earth’s ecosystems for thousands of years — even most of the planet 11,000+ years ago. Understanding that long history helps us care for the planet today. 🌍 @sandranogue.bsky.social @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec.cat www.nature.com/articles/s44...

More evidence dispelling the seed bank myth that falsely leads practioners to believe that it's an insurance policy against distruptive disturbances to old-growth communities--disturbances that often deliberately prescribed. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
