Check out our latest research article, the biodiversity and participatory outcomes of the project are mind boggling. Citizen Science bridges the gap between science and society! #science #biodiversity #education #society #school
π±π¬27,000 students uncovered βdark biodiversityβ hiding in plain sight (bryophytes, lichens & tardigrades), discovering 41 species new to Denmark and even some new to science. Citizen science advances research while inspiring the next generation π

New paper out in Nature Ecology & Evolution!β¨Global assessment of grasslands and carbon sink.
Grateful to contribute as a co-author with data from Ecuador, Sweden, the Netherlands & Norway.
Thanks to A. MacDougall & M. Siewert for the leadership

Thanks to Klara Leander Oh for leading this work β and glad to be part of this super-team. Key insight: deer effects on forest carbon vary widely across sites, highligthing how urgently we need deeper research on this topic.

π Excited to share our new study, led by Isabel Barrio & a fantastic team, on Arctic herbivores & their role in ecosystem resilience. We highlight 8 research + 8 management priorities for the next decade. A roadmap for a changing Arctic! βοΈπ¦ @HerbivoryN doi.org/10.1139/as-2024-0080

Our latest study, led by @Dendro_Unicamp, presents a network of 492 tropical tree-ring chronologies to explore climate sensitivity & reconstruct past climate! ππ³With species distribution modeling, we pinpoint new regions for tree-ring research. doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.β¦
Iβm also in Bluesky and would like to keep contact with all of you who are migrating from X. Add me :)

Thereβs a surge of interest in #microclimate & #microenvironment + how they shape #vegetation & #PlantEcologyπΏMy 1999 PhD work tackled this - how fine-scale variation in canopy dynamics, topography etc drives palm ecology in tropical #forests - see:

Couldnβt think of a better team!
Our last #charterarctic assembly took place last week in #rovaniemi with over 70 participants to wrap up this #horizon2020 project. It was a blast! New networks, colleagues and plans for 2025 on #arctic #biodiversity, livelihoods, peoples
... and that's a wrap! Had a successfully final @CharterArctic meeting in stunning #Rovaniemi. Presented my research on #herbivore co-occurrences & habitat preferences across the #Arctic, witnessed cutting edge research projects & extended my network with inspiring researchers!
So cool that our latest article, the effects of #reindeer #herbivory on #Arctic food webs, is featured on the cover of this monthβs Oikos issue.
Have a look at this monthβs content π¦π»π±π
