Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes.

Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records.
www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.

New paper out in @ecography.bsky.social ! 🌍🌳
We looked at temperate deciduous forests across North America, West Eurasia, and East Eurasia, three regions that share ancient roots but have been separated for millions of years. What does that long breakup mean for today’s biodiversity?

Without forward-looking models, biodiversity policy risks missing the road to recovery.
Our new PNAS article calls for predictive tools and a World Biodiversity Research Programme to guide global action.

🌍🌳 A new global study warns that many of the world’s tree species are under serious threat.

It also identifies potential climate refugia — areas where trees could persist if protected, and calls for urgent conservation efforts.

Phenology changes for the Japanese cherry tree (Prunus jamasakura) in Kyoto. Left: Day of the year of the flowering peak for the period between 812 and 2024. Right: Relation between March mean air temperature (°C) in Kyoto and the day of the year of the Japanese cherry tree peak flowering for the period between 1890 and 2024.

Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

Science’s big problem is a loss of influence, not a loss of trust Evidence shows that science and scientists remain highly trusted. But genuine scientific voices are not shouting loud enough over the noise to hold sway.

We sometimes do not feel prepared for being decisions influencers , yet we want science to be heard -> “Science’s big problem is not a loss of influence, not a loss of trust.” ⬇️
