Just published, a land-mark paper by Annemarie Eckes-Shephard et al.! It assesses the performance of a new generation of Demography-enabled Dynamic Global Vegetation (D-DGVMs), that attempt to simulate the changing size and age structure of trees in forests.

Great to visit CEFAS yesterday with Helen Powley to talk about our work on two-way coupling ERSEM-mizer: impacts on mesozooplankton, carbon cycling and interactions with benthic fauna as part of EU projects NECCTON and @oceanicu.bsky.social

Cities need to find new ways to handle rainwater, especially in the face of climate change. Green infrastructure offers a way to tackle this challenge.

From mapping forest function and disturbances, exploring forest dynamics to mortality from drought, 2024 has seen several analyses we've been working on for years finally come out. Here's a quick summary of them, @julenastigarraga.bsky.social @n-acil.bsky.social @daijunliu.bsky.social
Great range of PhDs on offer through the NERC GW4+ DLTP (www.nercgw4plus.ac.uk/apply), including this one in my group exploring how Europe's forests respond to extreme droughts: www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Lots of flexibility with questions and methods, so get in touch if interested! 🌳🍃💍🛰️📉

🚨 PhD: "Forests on the edge: examining vegetation recovery following climate extremes" at @bristolbiosci.bsky.social with myself, Lina Mercado (Exeter) and Eddy Robertson (UK Met Office). I would REALLY love to find a student for this, please share widely (thanks)

Probably not, I was just copying it from my tag.

This is a great effort by Doug Kelley from CEH that employs a novel bayesian approach to analysis how different variables (temperature, wind speed, population density, etc.) corresponds to satellite pan-tropical tree cover.

There's lots of nuance over different regions and ecosystems.

First post on bsky, very happy that our paper on "Fire, environmental and anthropogenic controls on pantropical tree cover" is now out in Communications Earth & Environment.

Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s43...
Fire, environmental and anthropogenic controls on pantropical tree cover - Communications Earth & Environment
Fire has less direct influence on tropical savanna tree cover than previously believed, while heat stress, water availability, wind throw and changes in fire regime are more critical, according to sim...

Just came out : The key role of forest disturbance in reconciling estimates of the northern carbon sink.

📢Global Carbon Budget 2024📢

Despite some predicting a peak in global fossil CO2 emissions, we estimate growth of 0.8% [-0.3% to 1.9%] in 2024. Maybe a peak next year?

Is it all bad news, or can we find some good news?
