'Forest restoration' is booming, but biodiversity isn’t. Why? A lot of the time, it's just planting so-called 'forests' of alien monocultures. In other words, nothing but another bullshit money-making racket. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

Forest restoration is booming but biodiversity isn’t

A Review in Nature Reviews Biodiversity summarizes how differing forest restoration approaches affect impacts on biodiversity, and key knowledge gaps and research priorities for achieving biodiversity-centred restoration. https://go.nature.com/4c0XIuh 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows the approaches to restore forest cover and its expected outcomes for native biodiversity, carbon, water, timber and food.

Our study ‘The global human impact on biodiversity’ is out in Nature! Through an unprecedented synthesis (2133 studies!) we show that humans are not only shrinking species numbers—but reshaping entire communities across the planet. 🌍🌐🐟🌿🪲 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌴🌳 Tree species richness increases climate buffering 🌡️🥵 I am so happy to share our latest piece, now published in Ecology Letters! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Tree Diversity Increases Forest Temperature Buffering via Enhancing Canopy Density and Structural Diversity

Making use of 6 years of microclimate measurements in a large-scale tree diversity experiment covering a species richness gradient ranging from 1 to 24 tree species, we demonstrate that tree species ...

Tree diversity increases carbon sequestration

The world's oldest tropical tree diversity experiment has delivered compelling evidence that forests with multiple tree species capture significantly more

Are tropical #forests keeping up with climate change? Not quite, it turns out. In study led by @jeaggu.bsky.social in @science.org, we used a massive plot dataset from across Americas to check whether tree characteristics are tracking #climatechange. They hardly do. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Tropical forests in the Americas are changing too slowly to track climate change

Understanding the capacity of forests to adapt to climate change is of pivotal importance for conservation science, yet this is still widely unknown. This knowledge gap is particularly acute in high-b...

In forest experiments, tree species capable of high rates of photosynthesis grow more slowly than species with lower maximum rates of photosynthesis — with implications for tree-planting projects. https://go.nature.com/4iWSlyd

What is the best type of tree to use for forest restoration?

Interested in #forest restoration and #carbon sequestration? 🚨 In our new study in @globalchangebio.bsky.social we show that 🌳 Tree diversity 🌲 increases carbon stocks and fluxes in a tropical forest experiment. #TreeDivNet, @uni-freiburg.de onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Tree Diversity Increases Carbon Stocks and Fluxes Above—But Not Belowground in a Tropical Forest Experiment

We examined the potential of mixed-species planted forests compared to monospecific forests to act as a nature-based solution to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. By analysing m....
