Time all( big enough) hotels had multiple usb outlets ( at the two commonest sizes), it's the way I survived a flight to S.America via states this way (airport facilities) also some international stations in Europe have them...

Calling botanical researchers, the School of Natural Science at Trinity College Dublin is hiring a tenure track Assistant Professor in Plant Biodiversity and Conservation.

I know this is someone's dream job, so let me know if that is you and you want to chat!

The IUFRO Working Party 2.02.05 organised a webinar series featuring leading experts, scientists, and practitioners. This series offers valuable insights into the breeding and genetic resources of Pacific Northwest conifers, highlighting cutting-edge research, practical experiences, and future directions in the field. By bringing together diverse perspectives from around the world, the series aims to foster knowledge exchange, strengthen collaboration, and inspire innovative approaches to the conservation and sustainable use of these important forest genetic resources. This webinar series was kick-started with an invited talk from Prof. Milan Lstibůrek from the Czech University of Life Sciences, Prague on the topic "Integrating Pollen-Based Assisted Migration and Rolling-Front Landscape Breeding for Forest Adaptation under Climate Change".

Any lacebug evidence?

Maartje Klapwijk (IUFRO Div 7) stresses that climate change makes certain areas more susceptible to the establishment of invasive species, e.g., warmer winters in Northern Europe.

In #drylands, plants don’t grow randomly — they self-organize into disordered hyperuniform patterns that help them use water wisely & endure extreme aridity. A beautiful hidden logic of nature, revealed in a new @pnas.org study doi.org/10.1073/pnas... including #Maestrelab alumni

Today I repotted my four Spindle saplings. The largest one has a stem about 10cm. My first experiment in this species (after stratification etc last winter) so fingers crossed 🤞🌳🍒

It was on X under @Forestry. Does @fao.com cover that on Bluesky?

Can't find this on Bluesky @fao, looks interesting. events.teams.microsoft.com/event/631c00...

Forests play a vital role in food, livelihoods & biodiversity and hold an intrinsic value of their own!

"This is a cross section of a bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa) tree that grew along a creek in northern Missouri 3,950 years ago. It has 190 tree rings which provide a valuable record of yearly climate information from the time when it was growing. Environmental conditions such as historical droughts and late spring frosts are preserved in these rings. Oak wood is typically brown, but turns black over thousands of years when buried in waterlogged conditions with little oxygen."

I recently visited my alma mater, the University of Missouri. This is part of a display on the science of dendrochronology (the study of tree rings), located in the agriculture building. See alt text for information from the sign.

The #12trees they showed me are still standing and lovelier than ever.

I dedicate this trail to them.

Farage plays the everyman, but he’s not harmless, he’s not honest, and he’s not on your side. ❌

Here's something to brighten your Monday 💛

The comical-looking Canary-shouldered Thorn has pale orange-brown wings with scalloped edges, allowing them to blend in perfectly with the autumn foliage.

These results mirror the sparing-sharing debate in conservation, and with similar results. It's better to intensify forest production in some areas while leaving others alone than to have low-intensity systems. 🌏🧪🌳🌲

...but my supervisors didn't agree...🙁Maybe my academic scientific writing was just not quite good enough at that point.

A community ecologist is not necessarily an ecologist who does research with communities. An interesting clash of definitions emerging from a #ClimateCoCentre workshop.

Easily.

Wish I'd read this a year ago, but then ( apart from the gem on appendices) this was my approach before my viva :-)
