Criticism is a vital part of science. But there’s a fine line between holding people accountable and orchestrating a campaign to tear them down. The how matters.

Definitely an important finding -- Recent gains in global terrestrial carbon stocks are mostly stored in nonliving pools: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Vergangene Woche publizierte die ETH ihren Abschlussbericht zum Fall des freigestellten Forschers. Jetzt reagieren die Angestellten des Professors – mit einem scharfen Protestschreiben an die Hochschule. trib.al/tUpWAwy

The recent report on the Crowther Lab contains factual errors, procedural flaws, and bias. This is the response supported by over 30 current and former lab members: medium.com/@eclarkdoula/r…

I can confirm this: “As the " NZZ " now reports, the employees don't seem to have a problem with Crowther at all. Rather, they have a problem with the ETH report.” nau.ch/news/forschung…

More than half of the world’s forests have become more fragmented since 2000. Out today in Science Magazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #Biodiversity #Conservation #ClimateCrisis

Our new study in Science Magazine shows that over half of forests have become more fragmented since 2000, threatening biodiversity and climate. Brilliantly led by Yibiao Zou as part of his PhD — and a huge team effort from Crowther Lab. 👏 doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Huge thanks to all co-authors — and especially to Constantin Zohner and Thomas Crowther for their support throughout this project.

More than half of the world’s forests have become more fragmented since 2000. Our new Science Magazine study is featured in Mongabay — showing the risks of fragmentation and the power of protection. 📰Mongabay: news.mongabay.com/2025/09/more-t… 📄Paper: science.org/doi/epdf/10.11…

Our new papers show that over half of the world’s forests have become more fragmented since 2000. This weakens carbon sinks: forest edges store 16% less biomass, equal to 36 Pg carbon lost globally Science Magazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… NatureEcoEvo: nature.com/articles/s4155…
