Ever wondered what happens when #nature reclaims abandoned fields? 🌾
In a unique study spanning back to 1975, our @JihoceskaUni researchers explored how #rewilding transformed abandoned farmland in the Czech Republic

🤿 This #BiodiversityDay, join us for a dive under the surface to explore the deep complexities of #rewilding!
🌱In this new blog post, we explore different pathways to rewilding and how they build on various ideas of human-nature relationships

📜New paper! Comparing #carbon monitoring approaches in old-growth #forests
🌳Our new study shows that the largest EU forest carbon sinks are in the Dinaric Alps and a few large trees (5%) concentrate a high amount of carbon stock (36%) @uniud @unito

If so, check out our two new openings, the first on quantifying #carbon trajectories & #biodiversity, and the second on #soil microbial #ecology!

Guess what we're doing in these impressive old-growth forests❔
🔹Thanks to the University of Sarajevo, we're selecting sites in 2 mixed forests where no harvests took place since 1878!
⚖️ They can serve as benchmarks for understanding long-term #carbon & #biodiversity dynamics
Leaving #forests unmanaged and allowing them to regenerate on their own accord is a #rewilding approach known as proforestation🌲
Researcher Lucia Seebach is leading our work to assess its effects on the #climate and forest #Biodiversity! 🪲
