on the other hand there is evidence that by integrating ESG practices will be very profitable, both from
market and consumer perspectives! #Asia is now taking the lead embracing ESGs. Great and inspiring talk!

ESG Environmental, Social, and Governance: standards used to evaluate a company's impact on the #environment, its relationships with stakeholders, and its governance practices. These criteria are often used in investing to assess the sustainability and ethical impact of #companies. wikipedia

Zaterdagavond voor @kunstenlandschap.bsky.social op bezoek bij organisator, cidermaker en landschapshersteller Frank Rozendaal voor het eerste Landschapscafé van @mooyland.bsky.social in een welhaast uitverkocht kerkje van Zweeloo voor een 'hagenpreek' van heggenspecialist @drken-rysdyk.bsky.social.

#NAEM2025 🧪Prof Yadvinder Malhi
#Rewilding #atolls will boost ecosystem resilience to #sealevelrise and make them more adaptable to #global-warming. Make them #rat free and remove planted coconut palm.

#NAEM2025 🧪Prof Yadvinder Malhi found on pristine atolls a high production of plant roots 40 km per square meter. Coconut islands have much lower nitrogen flux: in and out ~115 N kg /(ha yr) versus 237 in and out 439 kg /(ha yr); offshore also the #corals thrive better at pristine atolls.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Prof Yadvinder Malhi warns that we should not “carbonise” the role of larger animals, avoid to reduce them as means to reduce carbon as their role is more complex and they may also release carbon; #carbon-sequestration is a more long term delayed process over decades…

#NAEM2025 🧪 Prof Yadvinder Malhi
produced a key paper on the importance of larger animals in ecosystems ranging from reducing #fire-regime, open the forest, or increase nutrient cycles in the arctic through faeces productions.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Prof Yadvinder Malhi explains that human induced #rat invasions of atolls led to a collapse of #atoll ecosystem as birds and eggs were predated. A pristine atoll is therefore much more biodiverse. Animals play a critical role in shaping ecosystems and climate change #adaptation.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Dr van der Rijden identified how much #marine habitat types are protected and found it is not even across the marine habitats of the #EU seas. If #MPAs are closed, that could result into a fishery shift in to vulnerable #marine-habitats. Spatial analysis is therefore essential.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Dr Karen van der Rijden points out that fisheries trawling is very damaging to the marine communities, but she assessed whether moving #fisheries out of currently protected marine protected areas (MPA) would not make the impact worse in other areas?

#NAEM2025 Prof Daniel Kissling and team worked on a LiDAR processing workflow to process multi-terrabyte #LiDAR datasets. They used this workflow to develop a database of LiDAR derived metrics for the vegetation of the whole of the #Netherlands www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Emma is a PhD student - jointly supervised with @drken-rysdyk.bsky.social - who studies the effect of grazing by large herbivores on soil biodiversity and C and N cycling. She's also using modelling and LIDAR to look at landscape processes - stay tuned!
