"There is little evidence that removing dead trees en masse is an effective strategy to contain fast fires. In fact, a substantial body of evidence shows that such large-scale tree removals will have cumulative and mostly negative ecosystem and climate consequences." 🌎

QUESTION: @evilanova.bsky.social and I were discussing resources for finding root:shoot ratios (belowground biomass, root biomass, etc) for global forests / ecoregions
And really doesn't feel like there has been much progress in this
Any suggestions for where to look!??

🔎Tutkijamme selvittivät hakkuiden laajuutta biodiversiteetin kannalta eriarvoisissa metsissä Suomessa. Tulosten mukaan hakkuita on tehty myös biodiversiteetiltään erityisen arvokkaissa metsissä, joten luonnonsuojelu tulisi integroida tiiviimmin metsänhoitoon. ➡️ r.jyu.fi/Gqk @remiduflot.bsky.social
Monimuotoisuuden turvaaminen vaatii parempaa huomiointia metsänhoidossa
Suomea tapausesimerkkinä käyttäen Jyväskylän yliopiston tutkijat selvittivät, onko monimuotoisuudeltaan arvokkaimmat metsät edelleen hakkuiden kohteena vai ovatko ne tehokkaasti suojeltuja.
