New paper accepted in FEMS Microbiology Ecology: "Winter microbial community structure and methane-cycling potential in constructed agricultural wetlands across regions and microhabitat" For this, we sampled ~40 wetlands in two different regions of Sweden.

A successful day coring two sites on the Migneint blanket bog in North Wales with @laurabaugh94.bsky.social, @rchiverrell.bsky.social & undergrad Teleri. We'll analyse the cores for geochemistry (via XRF) and organic matter composition (infrared spectrometry).

Higher Incidence of Strongly Evaporative Days Drives Severe Water Deficit for Ombrotrophic Peatlands

A decade of hydro-meteorological monitoring and three annual water balances of a near-intact blanket bog in NE England indicate that summer water availability (precipitation − evapotranspiration) pri...

1/5 What happens when woodland is left to rewild? At Lady Park Wood this transformation has been monitored since 1945! @ect-uk.bsky.social have funded the 9th resurvey (first resurvey since 2010). Exciting and daunting to be part of the team taking on stewardship of this amazing study!

🌳🌳🌳 We have a new paper in @pnas.org showing climate warming leads to growth decline in beech because it drives trees to reproduce more frequently. Climate change can cause growth decline even when drought isn’t increasing by shifting where trees allocate resources doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2423181122

Warmer summers are causing European beeches to produce seed more often, depleting the trees’ stored resources—an indirect effect of climate change that is threatening the sustainability of Europe’s most widespread forest tree. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
