The fantastic first image released by @esa.int Biomass satellite.

In glorious false colour to represent its P-band radar imaging, capable of penetrating even the highest biomass forests in the Amazon and Congo.

Excellent new paper investigating changes in plant composition through time in the Arctic! Very impressive dataset!
Thanks @nanitundra.bsky.social for leading this and getting me involved on a familiar question in an unfamiliar environment.

Excited to be part of the team taking on this large forest monitoring site! Continuous monitoring since 1940's gives a fantastic long term perspective! Nice to be looking at forests close to home for a change.

Coring a big beech tree

Coring a big beech tree

๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒณ We have a new paper in @pnas.org showing climate warming leads to growth decline in beech because it drives trees to reproduce more frequently. Climate change can cause growth decline even when drought isnโ€™t increasing by shifting where trees allocate resources doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2423181122
