Idag har vi satt upp informationsskyltar vid våra experimentella kantzoner vid vattendrag. Ni kan också hitta information om platserna i silva boreal (ID 26017). Och nu är det dags att skriva en slutrapport till Formas. Pfew 😅

Did we dry up a stream? Yes, after several complimentary actions, including blocking a weir, making sandbags out of Ikea pillows and finally admitting that we also need pumps. But yes, for now, we have some sort of drought conditions. 💪

I might be completely off basing on the picture but it looks to me like some potamogeton species. Maybe?

Ever wondered how riparian forests in production stands differ from those in primary forests? Wonder no more...
We show that they are different is forest structure, diversity and ecological functions in northern Sweden.

Hi there, my student is making a survey about the use of R packages in Ecology, could you please spend two mins on filling it 🥹 Very appreciated! And if you could spread it further (RT), that would be just awesome. ❤️

I am running a quick survey to find out which R packages academics use the most in their research and teaching. The goal is to see which tools are essential, spot any gaps, and maybe even discover som...

Small boreal streams in clearcuts can warm up by 4°C in summer if they have buffers <10m on each side of the stream. This thermal change is propagated to downstream reaches situated in forests. Led by Maria Myrstener & @linegreis.bsky.social

Yeah, 'waste of time' is definitely a wrong way to look at it. I consider it part of our job.

I don't know if anyone cares these days but we have a new paper out showing that riparian buffers >15 m wide are needed to prevent changes in key aquatic processes at clearcuts but also downstream of them! A superb work by Maria Myrstener et al.

Completely agree that we cannot replace people by AI in the review process. But this article does not suggests that. It actually gives quite useful tips on how you can get help from AI, e.g., dictating your notes as you read, editing your 'rude' language...I think this might actually help.

2 more days to apply for a postdoc position in my lab on freshwater biodiversity and extreme events!

Great question Jono. I am pretty sure it won't look the same but which direction will it go is hard to guess. But I think lectures will be transformed somehow, examination too. If the trend of past years continues, more job tasks will be put on us, with the same expectations of being best in all😓

In the latest issue of #skogseko (Skogssyrelsen magazine), I have been interviewed about riparian buffers. Read here (only in Swedish).
