📢I've published an article in The Conversation highlighting why we should be paying more attention to tiny #arctic-#alpine plants which are sounding a warning for #biodiversity loss due to #climatechange. Please RT to help combat #plantblindness! theconversation.com/tiny-but-tenac…

It’s always great for us to catch up with #research group members past and present. Little excuse needed but all happy to celebrate that Guangqi Li isn’t going too far! Jan-Chang Chen we need you at the next hotpot!



Had a fun day on Ben Lui sampling some high altitude soil for the James Hutton Institute #MunroSoils citizen science project. The project aims to collect DNA from soil across Scotland's alpine zone to understand biodiversity variability & provide a baseline to track future changes🧪⛰️


Moving to Spain after becoming quite cozy in Stirling has been challenging, but I'm really excited for this new adventure as a postdoc at CREAF working on plant traits and drought responses. The campus at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona is also definitely giving me University of Stirling vibes


Interested in montane woodlands in Scotland? Here's a monster thread of slides about this precious habitat, its conservation, and what it might look like in the future! 1/8 Mountain Woodland Action Group


💣 The #forests at the greatest risk of drought-induced death are in the #Mediterranean basin, southern Australia, western North America, and western tropical South America 🥀 Study published in the journal NatureEcoEvo and lead by our researcher Sánchez-Martínez ✨


I know this is hard to swallow, but if there’s something about food and farming you passionately believe, it is almost certainly wrong. On these issues above all others, our gut instincts mislead us. They can take us, inadvertently, to a very dark place.🧵 monbiot.com/2023/10/04/the…
