A successful day coring two sites on the Migneint blanket bog in North Wales with @laurabaugh94.bsky.social, @rchiverrell.bsky.social & undergrad Teleri. We'll analyse the cores for geochemistry (via XRF) and organic matter composition (infrared spectrometry).

No advert out yet, but I will recruiting a 2yr postdoc, start date autumn 2025, at @livunigeog.bsky.social soon. Lowland and upland peatlands, GHGs, DOM and water chemistry. Plenty of fieldwork. Feel free to drop me a DM or email if you might be interested, and please spread the word.

1/5 What happens when woodland is left to rewild? At Lady Park Wood this transformation has been monitored since 1945! @ect-uk.bsky.social have funded the 9th resurvey (first resurvey since 2010). Exciting and daunting to be part of the team taking on stewardship of this amazing study!

Warmer summers are causing European beeches to produce seed more often, depleting the trees’ stored resources—an indirect effect of climate change that is threatening the sustainability of Europe’s most widespread forest tree. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🌳🌳🌳 We have a new paper in @pnas.org showing climate warming leads to growth decline in beech because it drives trees to reproduce more frequently. Climate change can cause growth decline even when drought isn’t increasing by shifting where trees allocate resources doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2423181122
