🔥Boreal fungi recover very differently after fire vs. clear-cutting. Fires leave long-lasting deadwood that supports rich and red-listed species; clear-cuts do not. High deadwood + structural complexity are key, but old-growth remains irreplaceable 👉️ buff.ly/DLExOE9

Regrown but not recovered? Our new post on the Journal of Ecology Blog: We tend to judge forests by what we see: trees, canopy, structure. But much of biodiversity is hidden. Fungal diversity tells a different story about recovery after disturbance. jecologyblog.com/2026/04/07/r...

Exciting new Science paper from colleagues in Lund: Sweden’s primary forests store ~72% more carbon than managed ones. The gap is way bigger than anyone thought — especially in soils. Big implication for climate policies @lund-university.bsky.social

The upward trends in the managed stands are not significant. It would be interesting to see what happens in managed clear-cut stands past 109 years, but they don't exist on the landscape (yet?). As far as our chronosequences go, the trajectory in managed stands does not converge with fire stands.

New paper out in Journal of Ecology! How do wood-inhabiting fungi recover after disturbance in boreal forests? We compared 2 chronosequences: 🔥 unmanaged fire (4–375 yrs) 🪓 managed clear-cut (1–109 yrs) Very different diversity trajectories! 👇 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I am really excited to share our new paper, published today in Nature. We show that rising atmospheric CO2 is linked to decling nutrient availability in boreal forest, with implications for the future carbon sink. Kudos to lead author @kelleyrbassett.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

You gotta love these patterns! Grateful to the WSL for hosting me while I analyze my European beech samples from last year’s climate-chamber experiment 🌳 We exposed trees to contrasting VPD treatments (hot vs. dry air), and wood anatomy is a key feature. So stoked!

First paper from our Scots pine chronosequences (managed vs unmanaged): diversity peaks after disturbance & in old‑growth, driven by soil & structural heterogeneity. Highlights the need for a mosaic of early post‑fire & late‑successional stands. 👉 nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
