Logging changes the composition of the organic matter in nearby streams, making the organic matter more reactive. According to the authors, these changes are enough to flip logging from a carbon-sink to carbon-neutral or even a carbon-source. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Great story by about our research with @waterik.bsky.social. Read more 👉 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Don’t forgot a lot of funding from NRCan too!

We are so excited our newest paper led by @ecfreewoman.bsky.social @camplantsci.bsky.social is now out @pnas.org 🤩

🌲 We followed a forest as it was logged to understand what happens to soil carbon at a molecular-scale. Here's what we learned. 1/n

Not always… or at least then, there are ongoing examples I know of directly where the term is being misapplied

Another year in the beautiful streams of Gaspesie. Maddie, Casey, and Emma spent several days setting up in-stream samplers and completing vegetation surveys… stopping only to cool off on the stream! #ecology #watershedscience #forestscience #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci @memorialu.bsky.social

Celeste has spent the last few weeks in the forests of NW Ontario as part of her PhD research with help from Antonin visiting as an intern from @insa-lyon.fr. Working with @waterik.bsky.social and others, she has been studying headwaters - where streams begin! 🌊

Today we had a catastrophic failure of expensive lab equipment, so to celebrate I thought I would post a picture of two buckets of ice packs. They never fail us.

Something exciting is coming to this shoreline. And it’s not the blackflies. @ecochangegroup.bsky.social #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci

Sometimes I don’t even know what they’re up to in the lab 🤷‍♂️ #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci

Eric is starting his Ph.D. @carleton.ca with interest in impacts of forest management on food webs & subsidies. Very excited to co-supervise with @dalalhanna.bsky.social #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci

Casey is joining us for the summer on an FSWEP student position. She is a Sault College forestry technician student. Welcome Casey! #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci

We are very happy to have Isabel join us on term! She has been working part time with us and has quickly become a valuable member of the team! #forestry #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci

Some very exciting peatland research going on in Sudbury. After decades of amazingly successful forest restoration efforts, research is shifting towards the peatlands. Led by @mercury-ecohydro.bsky.social and others

Cameron will be starting a M.Sc. in the fall testing novel eDNA approaches to standardized stream biomonitoring, co-supervised by Dr. @b-a-edwards.bsky.social and myself. [email protected] #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci

Mallory will be working with @b-a-edwards.bsky.social and myself this summer as an NSERC USRA based at @laurentianu.bsky.social Welcome Mallory! #ecology #freshwaterecology #watershedscience #forestedwatersheds #forestscience #forestecology #nature #glfcscience #nrcansci

🪱UF grad student Abigail Belchior is exploring benthic macroinvertebrates on the Ocklawaha River! Partnering with FL LAKEWATCH and @waterik.bsky.social, she’s using kick-and-sweep and Ponar grab sampling to study seasonal shifts in biodiversity, water quality, and habitat. Exciting insights ahead!🌿

What happens when 300+ scientists analyse the same data? Not the same answer! Lessons about staying open to alternate explanations, don't rush to judge, and potential for more than one "truth" in nature? 🤔 Grateful to contribute to this amazing initiative. Read it for free: doi.org/10.1186/s129...

#SCAS2025 or maybe CCFFR/SCL 1986 😁

It was an absolute honour to co-chair “A lake trout legacy: Honouring the research and mentorship of Dr. John Gunn” with @lake-lover.bsky.social at #SCAS2025. John has inspired so many. What a fantastic career.
