PhD position: aboveground-belowground linkages in beech masting dynamics 🌰🌱🦠🪱🍄 This is an amazing PhD advertised at @niooknaw.bsky.social in the Netherlands. Interdisciplinary project looking at how belowground processes both shape and respond to masting. vacatures.knaw.nl/job/Wagening...

📣 Output of a very cool collaboration just published! Focusing on one dispersal function, such as seed dispersal or disease spread, in isolation will lead to an incomplete picture of the synergies and trade-offs between the many ecosystem functions that animal-mediated dispersal influences.

Andrew Abraham@andrewabraham.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Doubled-edged Dispersal! In the Anthropocene, animals disperse a lot of things. From seeds and nutrients, to pathogens and invasives. Our new paper discusses the need to balance trade-offs when both desirable and undesirable functions occur simultaneously www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Europe's forests are under pressure - elevated mortality & lower growth. New work by Jessie Foest sheds new light on the response of forest reproduction - seed production is declining too. Obvious question is what this means for regeneration & the future of forests? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Despite rapid warming, seed production is not leading poleward migration in North American and European forests Clark et al. @frodsan.bsky.social @andrewhacket-pain.bsky.social @rolandkays.com @valentinjourne.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/NRGUJA...

Maybe these need to be put on a few menus/supermarket walls. These are from the UK National Food Strategy, showing the proportion of UK land used for different things (huge for beef/lamb, tiny for crops), & where we get our calories and protein (68% & 52% from plants). The difference is staggering.

How much temperate rainforest could there be in the UK and Ireland, and where? Despite campaigns calling for restoration in both countries, these questions have been difficult to answer. In our new paper we assess the evidence base 🌏🧪🌐🌳🌲 1/9

🚨New paper!🚨 Models predict trees like beech will migrate north as climate warms, but rarely consider tree reproduction. Jessie shows these “refuges” are exactly where climate warming will disrupt seed production the most. They may not be such great climate refuges after all. doi.org/10.1111/ele....
