We rounded up fieldwork for 2025 with #BIOCOMP forest inventory at our Ankasa field site in Ghana. Of course, we didn't leave without a splash in River Ankasa and a spontaneous stop at the beach. 😀🌴 It's been a remarkable year for my group. @biocomp-erc.bsky.social @shamikroy.bsky.social
🧪🌍🌾🌳 Check our new paper on liana community structure in Ghana. We investigated environmental and forest structural drivers of liana diversity, abundance and basal area: doi.org/10.1111/1365... With funding support from IFS, Sweden. #tropics #lianas #climbingplants #ecology
The full report of our 2nd Tree Climbing Workshop is available online as a preprint doi.org/10.32942/X26... Also see a short video docu-report on YouTube: youtu.be/xqXnoPbN69E 🌍🌲 🌴 🇬🇭🧪🌾
Join over 900 volunteers to label flower, fruit and leaf events in forest canopy images. 1. Click this link www.zooniverse.org/projects/bof... 2. Tap leafing, flowering or fruiting events. 3. Follow the tutorial and go on to label. 🌾🧪🌳🌍
🚨PhD opportunity: Biodiversity for woodland resilience: the long-term functional ecology of tree diversity 🌲🌳🌱 Advertised by colleagues at @ukceh.bsky.social & @buforestry.bsky.social How can we manage woodlands to deliver for biodiversity & climate-change mitigation? tinyurl.com/mr3w76yd
Biodiversity for woodland resilience: the long-term functional ecology of tree diversity
The benefits of biodiversity for forest resilience and delivery of many ecosystem services underpin “nature-based solutions”. However, there are major gaps in knowledge of the ecological mechanisms, l...
