Are they ‘sitting’ on a structure; e.g. old tree trunks, rock outcrop. Perhaps!

Ha Mike, weird but now you can send your work to a decent journal. Have you considered Wetlands Ecology and Management?

Yesterday, @rosacatharina.bsky.social spoke at the new year's reception of #SoilValley. She highlighted the importance of management choices to support the transition to a more sustainable, low input, agricultural system. We have to, and can, make bold choices that will help us #bend_the_curve

Today, we have a 'bog pressure coocker' on linking our science to arts in a story telling setting w. @sisselmarie.bsky.social and Katpatat. Real fun and super interesting.

I will match @peatofmind.bsky.social generous donation to the @peatlandecr.bsky.social with a comparable amount in € (350). I challenge other peatlanders with means to do the same. We all know how hard it can be as an ECR and we as a community can support the next generation.

Fen-tastic!!! 🎉

We are honored and grateful to receive the #NobelPeatPrize once again 🏆 It's been a pleasure to provide some support to #PeatECR for another year!

📣 We are looking for new faces to continue this work in the future.

Thank you to all the peatfolks out there supporting us! 🙏 #PeatSky

Last month I met several peat researchers while I was in The Netherlands.

@unpeatable.bsky.social (in photo) and I met and we decided to encourage other peatland researchers that have the financial means to match this donation so @peatlandecr.bsky.social can expand PEAT NEEDS funding.

Indeed. Took a break from X more than two years, but really enjoy this. Still waiting for the wetland focussed people, but I have good hopes that this will be a great and decent alternative to X with lively academic feeds.
