A truly important paper (a landmark paper, I'd say), led by the always amazing Dave Klinges, now published in GEB Journal. With a whole bunch of great minds from SoilTemp onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…

RIP Joss Naylor. Pioneer, legend, who never stop running and pushing boundaries. 🙏

If Bill says #microclimate is important, you know it must be true 😉 (if you're interested in microclimates too, there's still time to register for the 2nd microclimate & biogeography conference! @meb2024 meb2024.com)

🎉 THANK YOU 💚 £55,000 with over 500 supporters. We’ve been blown away by the support. YOU ARE BRILLIANT!! The crowdfunder now stays open, as we continue to raise as much as we can before we are ready to compete the purchase of the land.

Great to see this piece out yesterday, emphasising that the results of our recent study in nature on the sufficiency of global conservation interventions is not at odds with the @Science paper by Langhammer et al. on their efficacy. The two are complementary, fully agree

With our rivers once more riding high in UK politics, I'm reminded again of this brilliant Grasshopper Geography map. A way of re-centring rivers in land and mind. Everyone lives in a watershed.

A game-changing moment for fungi! The UK and Chile have launched a global pledge to protect fungi, recognizing them as an independent kingdom of life. This historic move, championed by my friend Giuliana Furci and the Fungi Foundation, aims to conserve the essential role fungi play
