Really excited to see how biodiversity and ecosystem functioning can be enabled through biochar projects.
Future Ecosystems for Africa@futureecoafrica.bsky.social · last yr.New Project Update🍃 FEFA and partners are trialling a project to test if carbon credits from turning woody biomass into biochar can fund bush clearing. If successful, it could offer a scalable solution to bush encroachment in African savannas. More here: futureecosystemsafrica.org/news-and-upd...
This work showcases the strength of global scientific collaboration: by sharing ideas and incorporating diverse perspectives we have reached a stronger consensus on reforestation priorities

This paper reinforces the need to shift the focus from carbon towards overall ecosystem and social outcomes. And (of course) simply to reduce emissions
Forrest Fleischman@forrestf.bsky.social · last yr.Recent research shows that the Forest Carbon Market doesn't really store any carbon, but at least its sometimes good for people, but this new paper shows that it is *very common* for it be quite bad for local/forest dependent people. www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/10.1079/...
Sivu Situngu shows that bacterial and fungal richness increases with frequent burning in a semi arid savanna. #SSNM. Lovely data and analyses.
It was a long journey getting this paper out. We are not against early season burning, we are for giving land managers freedom to use fire as a tool. We want to highlight how much data and knowledge are available in Africa, but often ignored.
Future Ecosystems for Africa@futureecoafrica.bsky.social · 2y agoNew@naturesustain.bsky.social paper challenges the "one-size-fits-all" approach to fire management in Africa. Early dry season fires may not reduce GHG emissions or meet conservation goals. Local knowledge & nuanced strategies are key phys.org/news/2025-01... Read more www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Tropical & subtropical grasslands & savannas are vital for biodiversity, water, & carbon storage. Yet, they face devastating loss. An open letter to COP16 policymakers urges action to protect these ecosystems. @plantspeopleplanet.bsky.social Read more: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
