8000-year doubling of Midwestern forest biomass driven by population-and biome-scale processes - goo.gl/scholar/nK1LKc #ScholarAlerts Another great use of paleoecology!

We will be talking Amazon Amazon fires on Monday #ATBC2022 🔥 If are looking for a postdoc position for next yr on related topics, perhaps we should chat.

BREAKING - The number of fires in the Brazilian Amazon in September 2022 has already surpassed the whole of September 2021. In only 7 days, there were 18374 hotspots detected by the Brazilian Space Agency. These are deforestation fires used to burn forest that was felled.

So excited to see #RangeMapper officially out! I've been using it a ton in talks already - it's a great animated map visualization of deglacial species range shifts in North America, Europe, Indo-Pacific. And, code is extensible to new regions & taxa! Thx to Robert E. Roth

One way to get attention to victims our culture wars

Great talk by Yadvinder Malhi on the importance of empirical forest data on formulating ecological understanding at the Ecological Society of America meeting.

Exciting new study fire paleo ecology @andes uses charcoal chemistry to infer paleo fire temperature. Fire in the clouds: How changing land use shaped an Andean biodiversit... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Bush et al. @lakemud1 Florida Tech use #pollen and charcoal in lake sediment to show that #fire was very rare near Lake Junín, Peru over the past 670,000 years until the last 12,000 years ago, and the #ecology has changed due to human intervention. #paleo nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our new paper on the #climate and #vegetation of the last 7 interglacials in the Peruvian Andes just came out rdcu.be/drd2e. We find that the #Holocene followed a similar trajectory to other interglacials until about 4000 years ago…an early start to the #Anthropocene!

Today I’m thankful for seeing my first red-cockaded woodpeckers
