Must-read -survey of #climate scientists' expectations on #future #warming: Almost 80% of the respondents, all from the authoritative #IPCC, foresee at least 2.5C of global heating, while almost half anticipate at least 3C ♨ theguardian.com/environment/ar… #climatechange #globalwarming

The goal of preventing temperatures from exceeding 1.5C is “deader than a doornail” as I told the Guardian (quoting James Hansen). We’ve simply waited too long to reduce global emissions, and now will firmly pass 1.5C in the next decade theguardian.com/environment/20…

Als wetenschapper strijden voor actie om biodiversiteitsverlies, klimaatverandering en andere problemen tegen te gaan, voelt soms aan als een verloren gevecht. Klimaatwetenschapper Valerie Trouet geeft haar eerlijke mening in De Morgen: demorgen.be/meningen/ik-he…

This issue includes a Grime Review on embracing #plant–plant interactions - rethinking predictions of #species range shifts Pieter De Frenne Jonathan Lenoir Koenraad Van Meerbeek besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

There’s a surge of interest in #microclimate & #microenvironment + how they shape #vegetation & #PlantEcology🌿My 1999 PhD work tackled this - how fine-scale variation in canopy dynamics, topography etc drives palm ecology in tropical #forests - see: researchgate.net/publication/22…🌴🌤️🌴

Each month, we shine a spotlight on one of our colleagues in our FNL division 🌳 and share their interesting research topics! 🔍 Today, we present the topic of one of our postdocs, @HaesenStef: #FutureNature – Shaping functional ecosystems of the future. 🍃

🚨 Paper alert 🚨 In this study, Kato Vanpoucke, GeoStien Emily and Ben Somers explored the classification of catch crops (aka cover crops) at the field-level using #Sentinel-2 time series. 🛰️ The full paper is available here: doi.org/10.3390/rs1624…

"Het gaat goed met onze natuur want kijk, er keren soorten terug!" Toch? Voor @INBOVlaanderen mocht ik samen met Wim Veraghtert van Natuurpunt een genuanceerd antwoord brengen in De Standaard. Het antwoord? Een paar soorten: ja Veel habitats: bwaaa m.standaard.be/cnt/dmf2024121…
