Science is coming to a park near you! 🌳 As part of BIOCUE , we’re sampling parks to explore how nature-based urban rewilding affects soil health, compared to traditional grass lawns. Today, we took samples from Grøndalsparken in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 to do some preliminary tests. 🌱 Stay tuned for more! 🌱

Isn't it nice when you're evaluating a difficult sampling site and you find out that someone already made a path that you can use? 😁

Figuring out what we need to buy for our experiments this summer to measure carbon use efficiency and much more. Lots of exciting stuff coming soon!

🌳 Surprise discovery: plane trees evaporate a lot of water in extreme heat – even at temperatures above 39 °C, cooling the air more than previously thought. This casts doubt on predictions on future heat distribution in cities. www.wsl.ch/en/news/city... #Climateadaptation #Urbantrees #Trees

City trees provide cooling even in extreme heat

Urban trees transpire much more than expected at temperatures above 39°C. This questions previous assumptions about heat regulation.

🍃 Successful BIOCUE kick-off meeting at @wslresearch.bsky.social! We spent two lovely days together and designed our strategy to uncover the influence of #nature based solutions on #carbon use efficiency. This will be of extreme importance in our fight against #climatechange! Stay tuned for more 📻
