My god. What have we done.
Global sea surface temperatures chart showing temps from 1982-2026, with this year’s temperatures 0.8 degrees Celsius warmer than the 1982-2011 average, and 0.3 degrees warmer than any other year at this time. The chart had to be expanded upward to include this year’s line.

Disturbances are projected to increase across the century in European forests because of climate-change 🔥🌬️🪲 This comes with challenges and opportunities 🪵🌱 Have a look at our massive new research greatly led by Marc Grünig, Werner Rammer & @rupertseidl.bsky.social 👇

The future of Europe’s forest disturbance regimes– a thread. Tl, dr: Disturbances from wildfire, bark beetles & wind will continue to increase in the coming decades. Under unabated climate change disturbances could more than double by 2100. New paper out in @science.org doi.org/10.1126/scie...

We expect climate change to affect fire regimes in Europe 🔥but how will those changes impact forest vegetation? 🌲 This is still poorly understood, especially in regions not commonly subject to fires yet We explored this question in the freshly published chapter of my PhD Follow up in the comments 👇

Calling on all forest disturbance experts: Please consider contributing to our study on global forest disturbance change, and help resolve the nuances of changing forest disturbance regimes. More details and survey here: www.lss.ls.tum.de/edfm/disturb...

All climate projections do not show any mercy in predicting future wildfires seasons in Europe. Forest management can play a major role in mitigating the large negative consequences of fires, but planning and prevention is crucial.

"This year, I think my family will survive the heat wave. Next year? The one after that?" Very thoughtful reflection I completely feel myself aligned with

🌱New study reveals functional traits e.g. wood density & leaf mass fraction shape plant growth rates, with these relationships changing as plants mature. Growth isn't a fixed trait–it evolves with age! @lilydun.bsky.social @ianjwright.bsky.social🧪🌍 🔍Article: buff.ly/f0vnEFV 🗞️Blog: buff.ly/nY1TorB

Do trait–growth relationships vary with plant age in fire-prone heathland shrubs?

Publishers ask science to pay for their services, and then sell the very same work they didn’t pay anything for to AI companies for million of dollars ?! I find this so wrong on so many levels.. and a real threat to science itself! Is it only me? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Publishers are selling papers to train AIs — and making millions of dollars
Generative-AI models require massive amounts of data — scholarly publishers are licensing their content to train them.

6 year ago I spent 5 months sampling leaves in Ivory Coast. That was my MSc thesis, I would have never though back then that this work would have ended up in Nature! Greatly led by @jeaggu.bsky.social!!
