The power of natural climate solutions! 🌴💪
1/2 land use carbon emissions in Southeast Asia can be mitigated through peat swamp and mangrove conservation/restoration

New paper: Forest dynamics where typhoon winds blow.
In Hong Kong, wind exposed forests are shorter and more uniform.
Damage from Mangkhut, the strongest typhoon in 40 years, was higher in tall forests and plantations.

Windthrow activity in #Amazon forests is on the rise: Our PhD student J. David Urquiza‐Muñoz detected a nearly 4-fold increase in #windthrow number & affected area between 1985 & 2020. Just published in @AguAdvances @MPI_BGC @UniJena doi.org/10.1029/2023AV001030

New paper‼️Do you study the impact of extreme events on forests?🌲💨 In our latest research, we reveal how forest height, density, structure, and topography influence wind damage in the Italian alpine forests during the 2018 Vaia windstorm🏔️.

Gardens reduce hunger gaps for farmland pollinators! 🏡🐝 In early spring & late summer rural gardens produce 50-95% of farmland nectar, throwing pollinators a crucial lifeline. More in our @royalsociety paper with @nicktew95 and Jane Memmott: doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2024.15… and in🧵👇

Today, in @ScienceMagazine, we report that global CO2 #emissions from #forest fires have increased by 60%since 2001. Forest #fires have also shifted north and become more severe.

We’ve all seen how wind can change the shape of trees, but how does wind impact tropical forests?
Our new paper answers that question using purpose-built sensors in Barro Colorado, Panama. [1/4]

[3/4] Instead, we found that wood density was the key factor. Low wood density species had much greater risk of wind-mortality than high wood density species. The exception was Anacardium excelsum, which was much 'safer' because of its thicker trunks.
[4/4] If you’ve read this far, maybe you’d like to get involved? We’d like to install these sensors on trees all over the world. If you’re interested, please get in touch. All data will be open-access.
Thanks to @NERCscience for funding!

2nd manuscript/paper I've seen this year that applies SEM to clearly non-independent variables in different boxes (elements of the population Variance-Covariance matrix) to 'causally explain' observed patterns.
Rearranging deck-chairs won't stop the ship sinking. Please stop 🤦♂️
