🚨 Brand new podcast out now!
🌲We discuss 7 key socio-ecological issues for advancing forest restoration in a world in flux with recent authors Mariana Hernandez-Montilla and Katie Devenish.

🌳Despite the unique biology of European mistletoe, a new study finds that it's demographic strategy is similar to that of non-parasitic plants @biolliegist.bsky.social 👉️ buff.ly/H8YRVHt
🐂The June issue is out now 👉️ buff.ly/sYs35a9
🌿The image shows "A group of muskoxen in the first autumn snow at Zackenberg research station in NE Greenland." Read the article by Brockmann et al. 👉️ buff.ly/WIQkJC2
🌳Global analysis of 556 tree populations shows mast-seeding periods cluster tightly at 2–3 years. Climate plays only a weak, species-specific role—suggesting strong evolutionary constraints on reproductive timing 👉️ buff.ly/zF8sps1
📖 New research!
Wide variation in hydraulic safety margins across and within southern Amazon forests
Southern Amazonian forest species are not equally safe to hydraulic failure, highlighting the importance of site- and species-dependent factors

🌊 Coastal wetlands are threatened by sea level rise, and marsh plant traits are responding over time to this increasing inundation 👉️ buff.ly/Hwx71Od
🔥 Researchers found that the frequency of interactions of some pollinator functional groups changed after fire, with an increase in plant–hummingbird interactions and a decrease in plant–lepidopteran interactions 👉️ buff.ly/jIybBOS
🌳 Forest decline isn’t just visible in the canopy - it begins belowground. Thinner roots, fewer mycorrhizas, more decomposers: a whole shift in the hidden life of soils that keeps forests alive 👉️ buff.ly/TVWhiDM
🌲In young experimental forests, tree diversity & proportion of fast-growing, early successional tree species increased forest cover, which was linked to buffered microclimates and increases in productivity 👉️ buff.ly/nh3PfbS
