We now started the important work of updating the #plant #redlist for #Denmark! This work is done by Nikolaj Sass Ebsen and Peter Wind, two of Denmark's most knowing #botanists. Work is coordinated by us at @au.dk and expected to be finished end 2026-2027. #dknatur #threatenedspecies #iucn

Important new study in @nature.com on how #darkdiversity can give insights on the diversity in local #plant communities that observed #diversity can't. With contributions from me, my two @au.dk colleagues @tokehoye.bsky.social & Signe Normand and many others. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Global impoverishment of natural vegetation revealed by dark diversity - Nature

A comparison of alpha diversity (number of plant species) and dark diversity (species that are currently absent from a site despite being ecologically suitable) demonstrates the negative effects of re...

Our new paper and software tool PointsToWood is out! Led by Harry Owen and Targeted at high performance for small branches, PointsToWood performs #deeplearning enabled leaf-wood semantic segmentation of high resolution #TLS point clouds. 🌿 🌲 🌳 👇performance on unseen tropical data

So where in #dknatur lives the highest number of #redlist #species? Our #Biodiversity-map work at Ecoscience shows that this is likely the place with known occurrences of a whopping 113 #redlisted #species(!) in a 1.3 km2 area in N Zealand. From fungi and plants to lichens and butterflies. # @au.dk

🌳 New findings 🌳 Phylogenetic diversity cannot be used as a proxy for functional diversity in vascular plant communities 🌲🌳🌴🌵🌱🍀🌾🌼 We used the #sPlot database & found a pronounced decoupling between phylogenetic & functional diversity ⬇️ 🧪🌐🌏🍁 @natureecoevo.bsky.social shorturl.at/Bf5IK
