Sad but probably true. I feel for the colleagues in the U.S. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Another round of TLS scanning. Next step: combining crown traits with dendrometer signals ☝🏼

Artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating scientific output, but risks narrowing inquiry, weakening judgement and undermining how scientists are trained.

The uncritical adoption of AI in science is alarming — we urgently need guard rails

🌲 We're hiring a postdoc! Join the Future Forests Excellence Cluster at Uni Freiburg to uncover the molecular basis of stress resilience in forest trees. Work with Douglas fir & sessile oak using epigenomics, RNA-seq, and more. 3-year position, TV-L 13. Apply now! 🧬🌿 uni-freiburg.de/stellenangeb...

With government funding in decline, researchers should prioritize data collation and training the next generation of scientists.

New paper out in Journal of Ecology! How do wood-inhabiting fungi recover after disturbance in boreal forests? We compared 2 chronosequences: 🔥 unmanaged fire (4–375 yrs) 🪓 managed clear-cut (1–109 yrs) Very different diversity trajectories! 👇 besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

These changes to the USFS, the loss of the regional offices and excellent long-term scientific research, will be devastating. I hope it can be stopped.

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

Distinct diversity trajectories of boreal wood‐inhabiting fungi following fire versus clear‐cutting

Retaining high deadwood volumes and structural complexity can help maintain fungal diversity in managed forests, however maintaining old-growth stands is essential for conserving highly diverse commu...
