Primary forests store ~72 % more carbon than managed forests, a lot more than previously thought, especially in the soil.
These results highlight the important role of these ecosystems in climate change mitigation, as they face increasingly rapid transformations into managed secondary forests.
New paper out in @jappliedecology.bsky.social! We investigated how forest structural heterogeneity and climate influence temperate dung beetles in production forests. 🪲
Ich durfte kürzlich ein bisschen über den tollen Waldmistkäfer erzählen und warum wir uns Sorgen um seine Zukunft machen 🪲

5 years ago I joined a field work campaign in the stunningly beautiful Swedish primary forests, still one of my all-time favourite fieldwork experiences!🌲🌿
Now there is a new study out lead by Didac Pascual and Anders Ahlström from Lund University

#Forests: Canopy gaps and deadwood increase diversity of #bats and #birds: New study @currentbiology.bsky.social. Bats benefit from variety between different forest patches, birds react strongly to local enrichment on-site. @betafor.bsky.social @cofeuniwue.bsky.social

Our paper on the drivers of dung beetle diversity along a tropical elevational gradient is now out in #ProcB @royalsocietypublishing.org

Canopy openings can harm the biodiversity of dung #beetles 🪲: Scientists of the University of Würzburg examined 234 areas in eleven #forests across Germany. Rising temperatures exacerbate the problem. ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-... 📸 Johanna Asch
