Join us Feb 6 for @sandyknapp.bsky.social's “Of course taxonomy matters! The story of the mega-genus Solanum (Solanaceae).” Register and share! us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

- A new assessment of the #global extent of #grasslands!
- By combining satellite observations with ground-based data and expert validation, this analysis demonstrates considerable misestimation of grassland extent and thereby carbon stock estimates in previous global assessments based on remote sensing 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Reposted by Reynaldo Linares-PalominoVery happy to share this new article on Andes-Amazon tree diversity change. We found that over the last 4 decades, tree richness changed differently across the Andes-Amazon regions. Thanks to the many researchers across the world who made this possible! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Keep reading!
- Reposted by Reynaldo Linares-PalominoTree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes. Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records. www.nature.com/articles/s41... Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

How to not be swamped by your microclimate data? The rise of microclimate data may have opened Pandora’s box. Gone are the days of simple bioclimatic variables — now heads spin trying to summarize these timeseries.
