I believe only in those rankings that speak in favor of my own institutions… In that light, nice to see that Uni Göttingen has been ranked the no. 1 university in agricultural science & forestry in Germany. Fakultät der Agrarwissenschaften | Uni Göttingen. uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html?i…

New Diversity Turn in Land Use Science paper on exotic plant invasions out in Journal of Applied Ecology!

Estelle Raveloaritiana, PhD shows how land-use intensity and relatedness to native plants promote exotic plant invasions in northeastern Madagascar.

Our Big Flowering Plant Bang paper is now out in Nature!! So excited to have been part of this massive collaborative effort led by the Kew Gardens team, involving 279 co-authors from 27 countries!

Ein internationales Forschungsteam unter Leitung von uns + Uni Hohenheim hat Wege für die Zukunft eines wirtschaftlichen und nachhaltigen Ölpalmanbaus skizziert. s.gwdg.de/yBNDvX , doi/10.1073/pnas.2307220121 , Functional Agrobiodiversity & Agroecology Arne Wenzel

Wrapping up #BiodivMon Tallinn . That's it for this kick-off! 🙌
🙏 A big thank you to everyone who participated and followed us over these two days. We look forward to seeing the development of each #BiodivMon project!

Aiming at a global long-term monitoring of oceanic island biodiversity, #BioMonI will use existing data on EBVs and EESVs to establish standardised protocols, conduct targeted resurveys, and scale up data using remote sensing and macro-ecological modelling. #BiodivMonTallinn

Last panel of the day with #BioMonI , #CoForFunc , #ForBioMon , #ForestWeb30 , #GINAMO , #GRASS4FUN , #METAPLANTCODE , #MiDiPeat , #MOTIVATE .

Last chance to ask your questions!

Our Report article on ReSurveyEurope, a new and the largest European database of vegetation data from permanent plots and resurvey studies, has just been published in the Journal of Vegetation Science doi.org/10.1111/jvs.13……

Species occurrence data are essential for #macroecology & species distribution modeling - check our new methodology & r-package for quality control of such data GEB Journal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…. 🦋🌐🖥️☘️🍁🐒Big thx to JM (Pep) Serra-Diaz for leading this work! #sdm #ecology

In a recent #PNAS article, we examine the economic, ecological, and synergies of oil palm farming and measure the performance of high- and low-intensity cropping systems and creative plantation diversification. EFForTS - CRC 990 #SDGs #Sustainability pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Great to see this EFForTS - CRC 990 oil palm 🌴 synthesis out. Our study identifies pathways to reconcile economics & ecology of palm oil production and identifies management practices for a more sustainable future of oil palm cultivation.

📢 publication alert

New PNASNews paper in Agricultural Sciences led by Arne Wenzel on 'Balancing economic and ecological functions in smallholder and industrial oil palm plantations'

Check it out: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Great to see one of my first research projects to finally find a home 6 years after we collected data. Together with Fabian Brambach, Holger Kreft Bernhard Brümmer and others we look at the environmental performance of smallholder palm oil production and biodiversity conservation in Indonesia

nature.com/nature/volumes… Our paper on insect declines is coming out today in an issue with 4 other papers on the topic!
(and yes, I'm very happy that there's a leafhopper on the cover)
