Great two days at the annual @BIFoRUoB meeting. Russell did an amazing job presenting our research on how droughts effects tree water use efficiency, recently awarded with the Viking Bursary from RoyalForestrySociety for analysing carbon isotopes in tree rings. Well done Russell!

Planting trees may cause major issues

Tree planting initiatives are successful when the right tree is planted in the right place for the right purpose. 🌳🌳 Check out CIFOR-ICRAF's Principles for Successful Tree Planting: 👉: bit.ly/3y7vRbI #Trees4Resilience #TreePlanting

Viva finally done! Thanks to Stefan Krause Nick Kettridge and Prof. Sami Ullah who sustained me mentally before the examination yesterday 😂

Our study showing a very low absorption of CO2 by plants in 2023 was published today - Thanks to all co authors doi.org/10.1093/nsr/nw…

As the waters recede it’s not hard to see why so many have lost their lives in and around Valencia. Recovery will take years and cost billions.

As part of National Tree Week, we’re launching a Tree Species Guide for UK Agroforestry Systems 🎉 This practical guide, has been created in partnership with the Uni of Reading and identifies 33 tree and shrub species suitable for planting on agricultural land. It helps farmers
