🌿Pladias.SK — a brand new database for Slovak flora & vegetation! 🇸🇰 Built on the trusted infrastructure of the Czech Pladias project (pladias.cz), which we provided to Slovak colleagues, this powerful tool currently offers species distribution data

Forest harvest in New Brunswick is resulting in large carbon losses. But storing carbon can also help maintain habitat for declining bird populations. Please help us get the word out about this paper that is being largely ignored by the media: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Fans losing faith in MSL, or Suzuki or the mgmt this early in the season shows one thing: you’ve never tried to become great at something. You’ve never been through the pain of learning and getting better and it shows. This is a rebuild. Patience!

Finally our meta-analysis on human impacts on regenerating tropical plants has been published in Environmental Research Letters (IOP Environment)!🎉 you can freely access freely the article via doi.org/10.1088/1748-9…
