New Blog! Action Oak supported research asks why some oak trees are more vulnerable to storm damage. @kateehalstead.bsky.social sky.social explains all, and why it is so important to do research of this kind. @rachelgaulton.bsky.social @salvobonomo.bsky.social @chrisquine.bsky.social

Great to see this paper, led by @kateehalstead.bsky.social published, examining factors influencing damage to oak in windstorms - bringing together field, mobile laser scanner and tree core data with modelling.

Happy #solstice! Today, beech trees start to decide whether to produce bumper seed crops next year, or to skip reproduction next year. It is a marker for growth and phenology processes. @micbog.bsky.social talked to The Guardian about how it works: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Research shows longest day is a cue for beeches to launch their growth strategies

An important part of looking after trees is monitoring their health. ‘Monitoring’ may be an unglamorous concept, yet it has become the focus of a research project led by The Tree Council, Fera Science and Forest Research. Check out the latest Tree Talk to find out more! buff.ly/7UxUqNT

We have three PDRA roles out currently (until March 7th!) looking for candidates at @sdruk.bsky.social Imago. If you're all about making satellite imagery more useful, usable, and used for social scientists, public health folks & policy makers, this is your job! 📜 lnkd.in/eBMHYe7G
