- Reposted by Landscape Ecology UKIALE conference in Edinburgh! A great week in Edinburgh for @landscapeecologyuk.bsky.social conference representing @ukceh.bsky.social; showing our poster on using Sentinel 1 data to predict water table depth on lowland peatlands Thank you @natreswales.bsky.social for your help with the project!
- Our conference “Monitoring Ecosystem Recovery at the Landscape Scale” begins with the welcome reception tomorrow 18:00! If you registered you should’ve received the information you need by now - message if you haven’t. Program here www.landscape-ecology.uk/uk-conferenc... #LandscapeEcologyUK
- New paper alert! Read about the process undertaken to safe-guard valuable data from the British Countryside Surveys, established by our late co-founder, Professor Robert (Bob) Bunce, in the 1970s, and complementary surveys in 1969 and the 1990s. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
- The Countryside Surveys were early initiatives to monitor environmental change, connecting with the theme of our conference this year, "Monitoring Ecosystem Recovery at the Landscape Scale" www.landscape-ecology.uk/uk-conferenc...
- Tomorrow is the last day our conference early bird prices are available! Register now! Our program includes a variety of talks from academics, policy and practice with experience in monitoring ecosystem recovery www.landscape-ecology.uk/uk-conferenc...

- Interesting research on the use of grazing to restore ex-arable calcareous grassland ⬇️⬇️ 🐑🌿
- A key publication from the Gibson ‘Upper Seeds’ #LongTermExperiment #LTE registered with us revealed that land once used for growing crops can be restored through #grazing. See the publication bit.ly/3FMrrL8 #CharityTuesday
- Not to be missed ⬇️⬇️ 🦫🌳
- We have TWO new podcast episodes! In Ground Control to Ranger Tom, Penny speaks to Knepp woodsman @therusticranger.bsky.social about Knepp's ancient trees. In Dam Good News for Beavers, Penny chats with Knepp's new lead ecologist @mostlyscarce.bsky.social 🔊https://knepp.co.uk/wildland-podcast/
- Have you heard about our upcoming workshop: the restoration of freshwater habitats? For students & early career researchers and practitioners, 7-8th April, Oxford Email students@iale.uk to register www.landscape-ecology.uk/events/2025/...
- There's 4 days left to submit your abstract to join our conference Monitoring Ecosystem Recovery at the Landscape Scale!

- We are looking forward to our conference excursion to Lauriston Farm, Edinburgh, on the 3rd July - a 100 acre site run by a workers cooperative. Our keynote speaker, Dr Hannah Rudman previously put together this video…. www.lauristonfarm.scot/news/wildlif...
- Astonishing: “in 2024, British bumblebees experienced their worst year since the BCT started its monitoring campaign…the numbers of bees were down by more than one fifth…one of our commonest species, the Red-tailed Bumblebee declined a staggering 74%” 🐝 Excellent summary article here ⬇️
- A helpful summary of recent wild bee news from the UK monitoring and recording schemes, including PoMS, @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social, and the BWARS records that feed in to the indicators published by @jncc.bsky.social

- Our first conference was back in 1992 - when we were called IaleUK. What have you always enjoyed about our conferences? We've often heard people enjoyed the friendly atmosphere & value for money 😉 See info on our 2025 conference here: www.landscape-ecology.uk/uk-conferences
- If you’re anything like us your camera roll will be full of nature photographs by the end of spring - put that enthusiasm to good use and participate in this exciting citizen science project 🌸🌳
- Spring is back and citizen scientists are needed once again to build on the success of Fruit Watch and further help scientists understand flowering patterns in a warming world. @chriswyver33.bsky.social #climatechange #pollination #fruitblossom #fruittrees #ecology #environment rdg.ac/3DnBJ3B
- Really interesting new research using a fantastic long term dataset: “phosphorus loads in the River Thames have decreased by approximately 80 per cent over the past 40 years — thanks to improved wastewater treatment and agricultural practices – yet algal bloom threats persist.” 🐟
- Climate change is increasing the risk of algal blooms in the River Thames despite four decades of declining phosphorus loads. A study by UKCEH Fellow Prof Helen Jarvie, now at @uwaterloo.ca, analyses the river’s 150-year water quality record to explore the trends. uwaterloo.ca/water-instit... 🧪

- We have a few of these on our TBR list… 📚🏞️ #worldbookday #WBD25
- On day 3 of our July 2025 conference we offer a choice of 2 excursions. If you want the half-day option come to Lauriston Farm, a community-focused urban farm, boosting biodiversity through habitat creation and sustainable practices www.landscape-ecology.uk/uk-conferenc... #ecology #landscape
- On day 3 of our July 2025 conference you have a choice between two excursions! If you’re after a full day adventure, come with us to visit to the Carrifran Wildwood. Since 2000 over 750,000 native trees have been planted in the valley 🌳 www.landscape-ecology.uk/uk-conferenc... #ecology #landscape
