Very happy to share the results of my MSc research. In this paper we look at how crop diversity and field sizes influence ecosystem services in the Montérégie region of QC. With thanks to my great co-authors and my amazing supervisor ElenaBennett authors.elsevier.com/a/1doqbcA-IgJQ2

We're hiring!! Looking for a postdoc to build new Canada-specific maps and models of ecosystem services (ES), and will test how these maps can answer a variety of research, management, and policy questions as part of NSERC ResNet. socialecologicalworkshop.com/opportunities-1

Our third field campaign is underway in the #AgroForageTreeProject. We are monitoring soil humidity in our hedgerows and seeing how our trees adapt to drought stress. Dr Pierre Mariotte Grossiord Charlotte #agroscope

Last week, we had the visit of the Food and Agriculture Organization director and presented our experiment, in which we assess the selection and preference of fodder tree leaves by sheep 🐑🌳🍃Agroscope #agroforestry #AgroForageTreeProject Julie Botzas-Coluni
