In paleoecology we often use proxy-based reconstructions to characterize disturbance response to climate change. In our last paper @jonathanlesven.bsky.social examine how Holocene temperature inferences can be biased by wildfires, in Québec's boreal forests. Congrats ! @cnrsecologie.bsky.social

Our toxic dystopian world @1.5C “It’s a bad-news scenario. It’s quite scary.” Decades of mining have left northern Canadian soils contaminated with metals like arsenic and lead, which are now being released as wildfires burn through peatlands and old industrial zones www.ehn.org/toxic-metals...

Toxic metals may be spreading through wildfire smoke as Canadian peatlands burn

A thick cloud of smoke from hundreds of wildfires in Canada is carrying more than just carbon, as scientists warn that arsenic, lead, and other toxic metals trapped in soil could be released into the ...

Congrats to T. Suranyi for his excellent first paper ! this is going to advance our understanding of climate change, both past, present and future, but it's also crucial for a lot of projects in disturbance ecology, coupling paleo & modeling ! @chrono-env.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social

French research system: go big, go international. French administration: hold my beer. If you want to fund international partners for fieldwork they'll have to fill in 472 forms and provide 876 documents that only exists...in France. Then we'll reimburse your international partners. Well, maybe...

Federal funding cuts have forced wildland firefighters to cancel prescribed burns, which help prevent wildfires. “We will be more vulnerable to a catastrophic fire in the future as a result,” one firefighter said.

Interesting work by van der Meersch et al. out in Ecology Letters, nicely illustrating that process-based models are more robust than correlative models for predicting species distributions under novel climatic conditions doi.org/10.1111/ele....

Paleorecords Reveal Biological Mechanisms Crucial for Reliable Species Range Shift Projections Amid Rapid Climate Change

Climate change has created an urgent need for reliable projections of species distributions. By hindcasting forest tree range shifts across Europe over the last 12,000 years, we show that process-exp...

New paper! Forest disturbance through drought, windthrow, pest outbreaks and fire is increasing in Europe, driven by past planting decisions and climate change. In Germany alone, more than 500,000 ha of mostly Spruce died back in 2018-2022. Led by Anne Graser, we studied biodiversity responses...
