Dense, dark forests in Europe are a modern phenomenon - Europe’s landscapes for 23 Myr were mostly tree- & flower-rich mosaics shaped by large herbivores, not dense #forests, see our new synthesis www.eurekalert.org/news-release... #forests #woodlands #paleoecology #nature #trees #refiorestation

Our recent paper in @peerj.bsky.social shows the gradual improvement in bear habitat connectivity due to land use change in the #Carpathians. We found also that up to 40% of the current corridor was stable since mid-19th century. peerj.com/articles/202...

OK, so we decided not do skip a GeoTdF year, but this stage is so boring that it's begging for some geo-info! We're riding along the North Sea coast towards Dunquerque. But even as recent as 20.000 years ago, there was no coast here! During the last ice age, the Channel was dry!

WUI matters not only for the wildfires. What is even more interesting, in the Carpathians, past WUI matters much more in carnivore damage prediction than current WUI. Check out our analysis focused on 🐺 and 🐻!

The last time the Vistula flowed here was at least a few hundred years ago. Maybe even a few thousand. But in the forest you can see its proximity.

Currently we should have a (spring or mid-winter...?) thaw. All the snow has gone just a few days ago. And this is how it looks like from the forest river perspective. Sad, very sad perspective. Only beavers work hard to show us the difference.
