In the last two weeks, our G4B project (www.grass4b.com) had wide coverage (8! presentations) at two important events: the IALE 2025 European Landscape Ecology Congress and Forum Carpaticum 2025.

Big, biodiverse and beautiful: can Romania’s centuries-old giant haystacks survive modern farming?
Traditional methods benefit hundreds of species but as new agricultural techniques take over, the distinctive haystacks mark a vanishing way of life

Forest matter — not just as blocks of carbon.

Amazonian deforestation is making wet seasons wetter and dry seasons dryer, according to research in Nature. The analysis highlights the local and regional effects of removing trees from the tropical region. https://go.nature.com/41jCClO 🧪
This is figure 1, which shows simulated contrasting precipitation responses to deforestation at different scales (0–1,000 km) over the Amazon region.

Berlin is a wonderful place to live—I’ve always considered it my second home. The Geography department at @humboldtuni.bsky.social is especially strong, and you can work with many AMAZING colleagues there!

It's amazing to see how much landscapes changed. In the G4B project, we strongly believe that the biodiversity of grasslands depends on the past legacies of land-use management.
We look at historical maps, satellites & aerial imagery, landscape changes 🗺️, and relate them to grassland diversity.

We knew this kind of stuff was coming, but it doesn't make it acceptable.

Purging science is an attack on democracy.

The Land Use Framework consultation government is launching is necessary and important. We urgently need to make strategic national decisions about what should go where: to restore ecosystems, stop urban flooding and better plan development.

#PostDoc Alert! Our #Land #Change #Science Unit is looking for three #Social #Scientists in #Digital #Spatial #Planning. 1/3 focus on planning practice. More info: apply.refline.ch/273855/1702/... #ScienceJobs
The unit Land Change Science studies patterns, causes and processes of landscape change. The research group Land-Use Systems is offering a position within the DISCLOSE-project for the duration of two years (with the option for extension), starting in spring 2025, as a PostDoc Social scientist in Digital spatial planning practice 80-100% (f/m/d) Driven by digitalisation, spatial planning is undergoing significant change. This disruption has the potential to influence the way we plan and the way we deliver values such as equity, transparency and efficiency. The DISCLOSE project, funded with an advanced grant from the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF), aims to understand the effects of the digital transformation of planning in the plan-making and plan-implementation process. You will analyze how the use of digital tools by planners is changing daily land-use planning practice and develop an understanding of the rearrangements of the respective spatial and social relationship structures. In selected European cities, you will conduct ethnographic fieldwork, document analysis and interviews with local planning authorities as well as private planning consultancies. Furthermore, in collaboration with the DISCLOSE team, you will integrate the findings into an overall theoretical model of how digitalization is changing spatial planning. You hold a PhD degree in spatial planning, urban planning or related field. Furthermore, you have strong skills in qualitative social sciences, and specifically in ethnographic methods. Knowledge of European spatial planning is an asset. A good publication record with respect to your career stage and a strong interest in the digitalization of planning complete your profile. A good command of English (spoken and written) is required, and knowledge of German and other European languages would be an advantage. You are interested in theory development and motivated to work in an interdisciplinary and international working environment.

Speaking about the grassland diversity, how it really looks like? This timelapse gives some insights from a hotspot in the Carpathians. (author V. Sifra). Few more timelapses at our G4B project website: www.grass4b.com @wslresearch.bsky.social @biodiversaplus.bsky.social
