Yesterday i saw your post, today we saw these sloes. We took action and are excited to see what happens next.

And as a German, I am unfamiliar with the concept of sloe gin. I have to explore...

Like pulling the plug of a bathtub: an incredible mass of #glacier ice disappearing at Griesgletscher (🇨🇭/🇮🇹) in one century.
It felt emotional to visit the exact same spot @swisstopo cartographers chose in 1919. The view was so different.
Simply unbelievable!!

Really, really happy to share this new publication by Malin Gütschow and myself on farmers’ identity in the context of multifunctionality 🚜🌾🪲🐦

link.springer.com/article/10.1...

A 🧵
Farmers (are expected to) fulfil diverse economic, environmental, and social roles or functions. Yet the relative importance of these functions remains contested both within farming communities and in the broader society. Understanding how farmers prioritize these different functions as a reflection of their role identity is crucial, given the increasing recognition of the importance of identity as a determinant of farmer behaviour. We frame this aspect of farmer identity in terms of multifunctionality, a common lens for analysing the performance of agriculture relative to societal demands. However, while this concept is often used with an ecological focus, our study builds on a broader interpretation that encompasses the full range of social, cultural, economic, and ecological functions. Furthermore, we focus on the roles farmers themselves would like to play when looking 10 to 20 years into the future. We apply Q methodology to see how farmers from Eastern Germany prioritize among 71 societal functions. We use the Q sorts and qualitative data to derive and characterize a typology of three narrative perspectives. The results demonstrate the breadth and heterogeneity of farmers' role identity, and therefore the need to go beyond a narrow focus on ecological roles or functions.

"We studied more than 70 different elections that took place in 12 western European countries over several decades, and found that when mainstream parties take more anti-immigration positions, it leads to more support for the radical right, not less."

For the Guardian, @turnbulldugarte.com and I discuss our research that clearly shows one thing: Labour's anti-immigration strategy will only strengthen Reform and weaken its own electoral prospects. It won't win voters back but ultimately normalizes the far right

Index der deutschen Grünlandschmetterlinge: Trend für 2006-2023. Dargestellt sind die jährlichen Index-Werte als Punkte und der geglättete Trend als Linie mit dem 95% Konfidenzintervall. Der Index basiert auf Daten des Tagfalter-Monitoring Deutschland Balkendiagramm mit Trends einzelner Falterarten. Von den 15 Indikatorarten nehmen vier zu (grün), fünf gehen zurück (rot) und für sechs Arten konnte kein signifikanter Trend (grau) festgestellt werden

Conclusion Mountain forests around the globe are changing Historically slow systems are speeding up Disturbances can increase resilience Systems that are adapted to disturbances are poised to deal well with change Disturbances can challenge resilience A distinct increase in disturbance can result in tipping points being crossed
