"As the prime minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, famously asked at the conclusion of the Glasgow conference: 'When will leaders lead?'" University of Aberdeen's David Burslem on what it's like to be at COP27 and its continued importance. pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/opinion/503…

Happy to have contributed to this study, published today royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs… in a Phil Trans thematic issue dedicated to forest restoration science Science for Forest Restoration Nearly half of replanted tropical trees ‘do not survive more than five years’ independent.co.uk/climate-change…

An excellent article by Science Magazine, summarising our theme issue bit.ly/3VltgRT, and essential science advances for forest restoration bit.ly/3EU7VJN. science.org/content/articl…

Our new paper from Malaysian Borneo shows that logged tropical forests may act as net carbon sources for decades after logging. @mmills_pgr Yadvinder Malhi @BothSabine Walter Huaraca Yit Arn Teh SAFE Project David Burslem Edgar Turner and co-authors not on Twitter pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Logging of tropical forests causes carbon from dead and damaged trees to be emitted, but the remaining trees grow rapidly and so post-logging forests are expected to be carbon sinks. 1/

After I gave a talk at Scottish Forestry Trust Seminar University of Stirling I enjoyed a session on "Improving Outcomes for Forestry". Lot of good talks by Philip Watts, Sarah Watts @rorymcclory 🌳🐞🐛🌞🌻

RT this thread ! Super excited this week we start piloting #MyFarmTrees in Kenya! #MyFarmTrees is a CGIAR Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT digital platform for tracking of tree seed and seedling quality, tree survival and farmer payments across the entire restoration chain.

I've had an absolutely fantastic couple of days at the Scottish Forestry Trust Bursary Student Seminar University of Stirling Stirling Natural Sciences, celebrating the #research of my peer group. So much enthusiasm & diversity across our various projects; what an exciting field we are working in! Scottish Forestry
