We are an ecology charity that preserves long-term experiments (LTEs) to understand how environmental changes affect different habitats over long timescales. #LongTermExperiments #Ecology

By looking at different fractions of carbon & mineralisation potential, a new paper from the BIFoR-FACE #LTE at the @unibirmingham.bsky.social has found that different tree species & seasons can affect #CarbonSequestration.

1/2 For #InternationalArchivesDay, we want to highlight @rothamsted.bsky.social’s archive.
Started by Sir John B. Lawes & Sir Joseph H. Gilbert, this archive contains 300,00 crop & soil samples from many experiments, including the Broadbalk & Park Grass #LTEs & from around the world!
Our next #webinar will feature @peatymike.bsky.social from @liverpooluni.bsky.social talking about the Migneint Bog #LTE in #Wales that has been going since 2011.

2/2 Today the Electronic Rothamsted Archive complements the physical one which is constantly being updated with digital data.
Read about the time when the London @rsb.org.uk group visited the Park Grass #LTE & saw the archive bit.ly/4aJ8RNW

The Environment, Food & Rural Affairs Committee has launched a call for evidence on how Government should nurture #upland farms & #landscapes.
Their goal is to understand the challenges facing upland #farmers & land managers, & how to support them.

Rights of Nature - a growing movement?
We explored what Rights of Nature means, where the concept comes from, and what role ecologists can play.

Peatlands are powerful. Here are just a few reasons why…
1. Peatland vegetation slows the flow of rainfall which helps reduce the risk of flooding in nearby towns and villages. Peatlands only cover around 3% of the world's surface but contains more carbon than all the world's rainforests.
The EFRA Committee has launched a call for evidence to find out about the challenges facing upland farmers and land managers, and how the Government can best support them.
Predicting soil carbon sequestration after reforesting former farmland requires understanding how tree types and seasons influence fast- and slow-cycling carbon in the rhizosphere. This study investig...
