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.

Our paper is now published! A inter-model evaluation at a variety of forest biomes of nine "state of the art" demographic vegetation models. Well done @annemarie-es.bsky.social and @tompugh.bsky.social for leading this endeavour!

Demography, dynamics and data: building confidence for simulating changes in the world's forests
Vegetation demographic models (VDMs) are advanced tools for simulating forest responses to climate and land-use changes, and are essential for projecting carbon cycling and large-scale forest manage.....

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

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)

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...

📢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?
