A great pleasure to present at the 1st WSL–Eawag Biodiversity Research Day our latest G4B (www.grass4b.com) project results: 10m resolution grassland management mapping efforts over the Alps and Carpathians. @wslbiodiversity.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social @g4biodiv.bsky.social @biodiversa.eu
In the last two weeks, our G4B project (www.grass4b.com) had wide coverage (8! presentations) at two important events: the IALE 2025 European Landscape Ecology Congress and Forum Carpaticum 2025. @euracalpenv.bsky.social @wslresearch.bsky.social @biodiversa.eu 👇
