New scientific adventure w/ @LauGherardi! He invited me to collaborate on new adaptation of Nutrient Network focused on disturbance: #DragNet! Today w/ help from Nona & docents Stanford’s Jasper Ridge BP, we set up the study protocol & plots! Super excited to join #DragNet & study disturbance!

And that's a wrap: Y3 of DragNet Global @ Wytham Woods done! V tangible treatment differences. Now time to get busy with more UAV and autonomous Oxford Robotics Institute monitoring Erola Fenollosa Man Qi, Marcel Masso, Aryaman Gupta, Jessie McLean Nick Hawes Elizabeth Borer

Thx to this support, we will expand our AI-species identification pipelines (in collabo with Stan Harpole iDiv Biodiversity Research) from our DragNet Global plots to some of the DroughtNet plots Wytham Woods - with Erola Fenollosa & Andy Hector Oxford Biology

NEW BLOG: Our Institute is for the 2nd year part or Research Network called DRAGNet. The aim is to monitor global and local impacts of global change on grassland ecosystems. Check out also DragNet Global ecosystems.czechglobe.cz/globalni-vyzku…

Resurveying our DragNet Global plots. Unsurprisingly a big difference between disturbed and undisturbed... far more plant species in disturbed plots too.

Also, exciting new grazing exclosures co-located with our DragNet Global plots. Hopefully will be part of Nutrient Network and will link into our Ecological Continuity Trust (ECT) long term experiment plots.

Thanks @BorerLab crew for a fun & productive day of sampling DragNet Global & Nutrient Network Cedar Creek ESR. @e_seabloom @BorerLab

It is probably a bad idea to have a DragNet Global site in the wild Louisiana. How am I supposed to break into this plot to do survey? All Lonicera vines over the whole plot. Some plots are worse with all the black berries.

En nuestro sitio experimental DragNet Global estudiamos la sucesión ecológica en pastizales bajo distintos regímenes de disturbios y fertilización. En particular, buscamos entender que hay detrás de la exitosa invasión de Festuca arundinacea, una sp forrajera, y cómo frenarla 🌿

Our 3rd & final year of ⁦DragNet Global⁩ #disturbance ⁦Cedar Creek ESR⁩ — in the books. I’m so excited to study the recovery!! Thanks, ⁦@e_seabloom⁩ & ⁦@BorerLab⁩. ⁦U of M Research⁩ ⁦UMN CBS⁩

First day of data collection on the Nutrient Network and DragNet Global experimental plots with Jean-François Le Galliard 🦎🇺🇦. Very hot under the sun! Measuring plant biomass 😀

Second day in the rain, feet in the grass collecting plant biomass data with @xraynaud and Jean-François Le Galliard 🦎🇺🇦 iEES Paris. Some wet envelopes on this Tuesday 🌧🌧🌧 DragNet Global Nutrient Network

Third sampling day Nutrient Network and DragNet Global study plots with Biologie ENS students! More than 20 plots sampled today

Fin des mesures Nutrient Network DragNet Global sous forme de sprint avec les étudiants Biologie ENS et @xraynaud Benoît Perez-Lamarque Jean-François Le Galliard 🦎🇺🇦. Inventaires, mesures de LAI et entretien des parcelles 💪💪💪

COMO DragNet Global sieving. We upped our game and got a radio this year. Send us your playlists! We have hours of sieving to go! MSU College of Natural Science W.K. Kellogg Biological Station Kellogg Biological Station LTER Cedar Creek ESR
