Today, we had to do some necessary winter maintenance at one of our forest monitoring sites in central Spain. It was great to see some snow there (compared to most recent years)
¡Nuevo monográfico publicado! 📑

Acabamos de lanzar nuestro volumen 34(3) que incluye el monográfico "Ecología de las invasiones: una visión multidisciplinar para una problemática común". En este hilo te contamos de qué trata este monográfico, qué artículos se incluyen y de qué tratan.
¡Seguimos creciendo! Nuestra revista ya se encuentra indexada en Diamond Discovery Hub como revista diamante.

Introducing {geosam}: an R toolkit for Meta's Segment Anything Model 3

- Detect objects in satellite imagery with text prompts
- Interactive Shiny tools with draw & click-to-identify
- Works with Mapbox, Esri, MapTiler
- Use regular images too!

"Ecología de las invasiones: una visión multidisciplinar para una problemática común".

Ya podéis ojearlo, pero en los próximos días publicaremos un hilo con todo el contenido.

4/5 Our results improve understanding of carbon dynamics in #Mediterranean #pine #reforestations and provide a framework for climate-sensitive species selection, with direct implications for reforestation strategies under climate change.

3/5 Carbon investment in aboveground organs increased dynamically in less drought-tolerant species and under cooler, more humid climatic conditions.
Trees exhibited a remarkable capacity for acclimation to climatic stress, reflected in a highly plastic carbon allocation ratio.

2/5 We quantified proxies of #PrimaryProductivity (EVI, NPP) together with Aboveground Biomass Increment (ABI).

We then assessed #long-term carbon allocation dynamics using the ABI:NPP ratio, which captures shifts in carbon investment between above and belowground compartments.
🧵 1/5 New paper out at @jappliedecology.bsky.social

We evaluate how #carbon allocation strategies determine the long-term carbon sink potential of large-scale pine reforestations under climate change. We combined #RemoteSensing and #dendrochronological plots

Two years ago we got together in a beautiful mountain to learn and develop #rstats packages for ecology

After {labeleR} (ecologyr.github.io/labeleR/) and {BlueCarbon} (ecologyr.github.io/BlueCarbon/), {mappestRisk} is now officially out! See thread by lead author @dario-ssm.bsky.social 👇
