Spending the hot afternoon (28 °C) with science meeting and ice cream🤓🍦. Our PhD student Yuchen Liao Yuchen Liao presented her very interesting work about the umbrella effect of #GiantPanda on endemic plants under protected area expansion and land-use change. #wsl

Guter Anfang Schweizer Bauernverband! Qualität ist wichtig, ok. Aber: für funktionierende Biodiversität braucht mehr langfristig gesicherte Flächen für viele Habitate, am richtigen Ort (@scnat; shorturl.at/oMjtj). Denn ohne nachhaltig gesicherte Biodiversität keine landw. Produktion.

Schade, die NZZ Schweiz verbreitet kontroverse Aussagen unwidersprochen und ungeprüft. Der Konsens Forum Biodiversität Schweiz: positive Tendenzen sind da, reichen aber nicht aus. Fläche, Vernetzung und Qualität von Schutzflächen sind zu gering für nachhaltigen Biodiversitätsschutz.

Die NZZ Schweiz hat mir heute unterstellt, Umweltverbände zu kritisieren und die vom Schweizer Bauernverband finanzierte (Züger) Studie zu stützen. Beides ist falsch und polemisch. Ich habe dargelegt, Trendwende punkto Biodiversitätsrückgang ist noch nicht erreicht, zusätzliche Flächen sind nötig.

#Nature is designed to cope with fluctuations. Yet, fluctuations become more extreme with shifting mean climates. We now start to see effects of such increasing extremes on #ecosystems & #biodiversity. Niklaus E Zimmermann answers a question our lab is frequently asked in this context.

Higher resolution #climate data boosts 🌨️#snow cover❄️accuracy in models by up to 52%! This shows the importance of fine-scale climate in #climatechange impact studies, especially in 🏔️mountainous regions like Switzerland.

Happy to share my impressions from this year’s summer school of the Extremes_WSL program and @SwissForestLab on «Forests & Extremes – crisis or transition?» in Davos. I was teaching how difficult it is to forecast the impact of #ClimateChangerelated extremes on #biodiversity.

Exzellent recherchiert und geschrieben: Fakten werden verdreht, relativiert, die Folgen geleugnet. Dabei ist der schlechte Zustand der Biodiversität wissenschaftlich breit belegt und notwendige Massnahmen zur Verbesserung sind klar! republik.ch/2024/09/05/akt…

Samuel Schlaefli vom Treibhauspodcast.ch hat mich zum Thema #Biodiversitätsinitiative in der Schweiz und zu den aktuellen Diskussionen dazu interviewt🌳. Dabei haben wir auch die vielen Parallelen zur langjährigen Klimadebatte besprochen. shorturl.at/BLxMD

The DME group went on one of the most beautiful panoramic hikes in Switzerland from Melchsee-Frutt to Trübsee with fantastic views of the Alps, floral highlights and passing four mesmerizing mountain lakes.🏔☀ A memorable day filled with fun, laughter and team spirit.❤️

Elena Plekhanova presented her work in “Pre-training self-supervised vision encoders for ecological applications” & Philipp Brun gave a talk about "Machine-supported monitoring of species and communities based on images, local habitat conditions, and already observed species"

Morgen (mittags, abends) gebe ich auf SRF Auskunft über Zustand und Lösungen der Biodiversitätskrise im Rahmen der Biodiversitäts-Abstimmung. Warum Arten aussterben haben @FlorianAltermann und ich in diesem informativen Artikel von @EstherWidmann (unten, Paywall) erläutert.

This year's social-science day of the WSL research unit “Land Change Science” with hiking, guided forest tour near #Basel, poster presentations, dinner & lots of rain.☔️The forester showed that #beech has been dying back massively due to increased frequency & severity of drought.
