Our new paper out, lead by Marta Pieristè with Canopy Spectral Ecophys evaluates the value of #CitizenScientists in tracking forest floor phenology and seasonal canopy cover, while benefiting climate change awareness

#CitizenScience project on #fungi coming soon to Wytham Woods...!

Our new paper is out in Annual Reviews explores the concept, science and implications of #NetZero and climate stabilization. Led by Myles Allen with a stellar interdisciplinary team: Pierre Friedlingstein Cécile Girardin Stuart Jenkins Eli Mitchell-Larson Glen Peters Lavanya Rajamani

Concerning data from the Global Carbon Budget by GlobalCarbonProject (1) fossil fuel CO2 emissions still ↑ 1% annually (2) deforestation emissions in Brazil and Indonesia remain high (3) Astonishingly, both the land and ocean CO2 sinks continue to increase, despite ↑ Climate Change

Nice piece on BBC News (UK) on the peculiar story of why we think UK woodlands might have almost 2x as much biomass as previously thought…because actually measuring tree biomass and volume is rarely done. Protecting/restoring native woodlands is more important for climate than ever

A neat overview of how the inital 'carbon debt' from forest bioenergy emissions is eventually offset by re-growth at an inception point - with counterfactual fossil fuel emissions, from sciencedirect.com/science/articl… by Jacopo Giuntoli et al.

I'm delighted that today I join Ambio - A Journal of Environment and Society as associate editor. I have long enjoyed reading and reviewing papers from Ambio, which cut across important enviornmental and social themes. Looking forward to contributing directly to the future of this great journal.

I'm delighted to have been involved with producing this guide for growing alternative timber species in NZ. We hope this will catalyse ongoing diversification of plantation forestry. Check out the monumental 40 yr Eucalyptus regnans planted behind us!

📢 Exciting news! Alan Jones, senior scientist at Scion, has been appointed associate editor for Ambio journal! With extensive expertise in global change and sustainable futures research, Alan will contribute to enhancing the journal's impact. Congratulations, Alan! #research

Great paper by Prof. David Lindenmayer at ANU Fenner School in Conservation Letters describing how: "narrowly focused large-scale plantations for carbon sequestration may produce a range of perverse environmental outcomes—bio-perversities" conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Thrilled the EarthwormWatch citizen science project I developed in collaboration with Dr Victoria J Burton 🪱, Paul Eggleton, Andy Purvis Natural History Museum is now published in the European Journal of Soil Biology European Journal of Soil Biology : sciencedirect.com/science/articl… The project engaged nearly 8000 people in the UK

We need to seriously consider how to meet NZ's forthcoming bioenergy shortfall, without relying on imported biomass. Short rotation forestry stands out as a highly promising solution. Read my opinion piece in Farmers Weekly NZ 👇👇farmersweekly.co.nz/opinion/short-…
