Just one more week to apply for this amazing postdoctoral research position in ecoacoustics at Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery at University of Oxford The Leverhulme Trust

Excited to share our new review published in Global Change Biology about biological controls on #soil #carbon accumulation in #boreal #forests following #wildfire and clear-cutting. A shout out to a great team of co-authors, many who are not on twitter. 👇 dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…

New paper in Nature Communications demonstrates that land conversion to agriculture induces taxonomic homogenization of soil microbial communities globally. Based on 2400 samples across six continents. nature.com/articles/s4146… Work by Ziheng Peng, Gehong Wei, Shuo Jiao &

I am still looking for a candidate for this fellowship, if you are looking for a postdoc, are interested in dryland ecology and want to work in a supportive environment and in a top university with great facilities and living environment apply! + info: maestrelab.blogspot.com/2024/05/we-are…

Have a look at our new research! A huge project led by Mads Dømgaard shows the longest historical reconstruction of glaciers in Antarctica. This part of East Antarctica has been remarkably stable during the last 85 years, but signs of weaknesses are showing.. nature.com/articles/s4146…

We are hiring! How can we measure the ecological health and functionality of savanna ecosystems? How do we define degradation and nature recovery in such ecosystems? New postdoc position - a partnership between NATURAL STATE and Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery : tinyurl.com/meht6kbw

In Greenland this week to set up our new Natural Environment Research Council project on the impact of large herbivores on the climate resilience of the Arctic tundra with Marc Macias and Jeppe Å. Kristensen. But first a hike to pay respects to the vast silent hulk of the Greenland Ice Sheet

Our new Natural Environment Research Council project in Greenland looks at how large animal wildlife (musk ox and reindeer) affect the carbon cycle and climate resilience of the Arctic tundra. We will work with long term exclosures that have kept out these animals from small areas for decades

More wonderful research on soil fauna and carbon stabilisation from Gerrit Angst and colleagues - this time with nice conceptualisations in Nature Communications. Very intrigued whenever something new comes from this group... 🪱🪲🐿️🦠🍄‍🟫

Nice explainer of this important argument for safe-guarding the universality & stability of formal biological #nomenclature 🌼🐘🦋🍄🐝🐿 Happy to be a co-signer among >1500 scientists 🦔 #taxonomy

Interested in ecosystem #restoration? Check our new paper on trophic #rewilding as a restoration approach under emerging novel #biosphere conditions (#climatechange & #globalization), recently published in Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog… 🌿🐎🌼🐃🦋🪻🪲🐘🌦🌍 #ecosystems

The carbon storage benefit of trees has long been known. Our new paper in nature led by Prof. Vincent Gauci suggests an unexpected additional climate benefit: tree bark hosts microbes that gobble up #methane. Explainer thread below and paper link here: rdcu.be/dOPaT

A really, really interesting new paper for the first time upscaling the methane absorption capacity of the world's trees, estimating their climate mitigation capacity to be a stunning 10-15% higher than their carbon storage🌳🦠🌍 👏 to Yadvinder Malhi Prof. Vincent Gauci Alexander Shenkin and others

Do you enjoy feeding birds? Although done with the best of intentions, it may be changing the chemistry of your local environment. We show that phosphorus input into local ecosystems via supplementary feeding of gamebirds and songbirds is VERY big! esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/fe…

Come join us at Aarhus University. A great opportunity to live in a wonderful city and interact with really excellent people at the forefront of research on #climatechange #rewilding and #novel #ecosystems

For anyone in Oxford, I am looking for two paid field assistants to survey soil and aboveground invertebrates along a land-use gradient of permanent pasture in October. Please, DM me if you're interested. Deadline is noon, 5th Sep. Biodiversity Network At The University of Oxford ECI, Univ of Oxford Oxford Biology Yadvinder Malhi

A very cool approach for mapping peatlands. Perhaps something to test in the Scottish Highlands Highlands Rewilding ?🙂
