🌋 Volcanic Ash Deposition: A Selective Force for Woodiness on Islands 🌴🔥 A new study by Carl Beierkuhnlein et al. reveals an exciting new hypothesis explaining the abundance of woody plant species on oceanic islands🌿 🧵 1/7 Society of Island Biology #IslandBiology2023 nature.com/articles/s4418…

Notably, these persistent woody plants primarily consist of #endemic species, adding another layer of #biodiversity significance to their resilience 🌍 🧵 6/7

The study challenges previous explanations and provides evidence supporting the hypothesis that woodiness is an adaptive response to #volcanic ash deposition. It highlights the remarkable resilience of woody plants in ash-covered areas, particularly endemic species. 🌿🌋 🧵 7/7

#IslandBiology2023 has started! Kick-off plenary by Carl Beierkuhnlein on speciation, isolation, diversity and volcanism using the #CanaryIslands as a model system. Thanks to all the organizers for putting this conference together! 🙏

Ever wondered what happens to plants when a volcano erupts? 🌋 1️⃣ Before the eruption, we have a diverse range of plants thriving in the area. These understorey plants give the ecosystem its unique charm 🌿 🧵 1/5

5⃣ Meanwhile, their offspring, in the form of seeds or other propagules, disperse and find a new home on the freshly formed soil surface. This is a chance for new plants to grow, while their parent plants continue to survive 🌱 🧵 5/5

🌋 If you liked this fascinating glimpse into how volcanic eruptions affect plant life, you'll love delving deeper into the subject! 💚 Learn more about this topic in the new paper published in our journal nature.com/articles/s4418… #npjBiodivers Carl Beierkuhnlein Society of Island Biology

Gab es in 🇩🇪 eigentlich irgendeine Sondermeldung, Talkshow, Krisentreffen oder einfach irgendwelche Konsequenzen aufgrund der Nachricht, dass am Montag global mit 17,01 Grad der heißeste Tag der Geschichte war und am Dienstag dieser Rekord mit 17,18 Grad sofort gebrochen wurde?

🌿 Recent volcanic eruption on La Palma influenced plant life forms and endemicity through ash deposition. This novel mechanism selects for woody perennials, contributing to the insular woodiness syndrome nature.com/articles/s4418… #IslandBiology #Evolution #npjBiodivers

So sieht Starkregen in der #Klimakrise aus. Aber Deutschland streitet über einen angeblichen #Heizungshammer und weicht das #Klimaschutzgesetz auf. Warum?

Putting recent global all-time temperature record sun perspective - 2023 records are off the charts. economist.com/graphic-detail…

The temperature in China hit 52.2°C (126 °F) Sunday 16th July 2023 That beats the old record by an almost inconceivable 1.7°C Extreme heat all around the World - when will politicians wake up to #ClimateChange Stop denying it is happening - as it just makes you look crazy.

Our favorite planet has now seen 20 days in a row breaking the modern-day record high-temperature of 16.924°C (62.46°F) set on July 24, 2022. This global heatwave is likely the hottest 20-day stretch in the last 100,000+ years.

🌡️ Rising temperatures 🌧️ Changing rainfall 🌀 Extreme weather shocks are lowering crop yields and driving up food prices. To make the shift to a greener, climate-resilient world, building sustainable #FoodSystems is a must! #ClimateAction #UNFSS2023
