Using in situ microrefugia to safeguard stringybark eucalypts from hot droughts Facilitating species persistence under climate change is a pressing issue. Refugia, places where the impacts of climate change may be less severe, can constitute the only option for in situ persisten...

How can we save threatened forests from climate change? Refugia can be an answer, but we need to monitor their effectiveness - Our paper out now, on whether topography is effectively buffering the vulnerable Red Stringybark eucalypt 🟥🌳 from hot droughts in South Australia 👉🏻 doi.org/10.1111/csp2...

#ESAus2025 abstracts are due this Friday! If you research vegetation #dieback, consider submitting to the 'Beyond the Brink–Navigating vegetation dieback and climate-succession' symposium chaired by Cal Bryant and @bmedlyn.bsky.social.

Symposium description:

Alpine forests face collapse without urgent reforestation, say scientists Bushfires and a lack of seed have created a "ticking time bomb" in Victoria's alpine and mountain ash forests, scientists are warning.

"It isn't that the alarm bells are about to ring. They already have & if these last 2 fires are not enough to scare the pants off you, I don't know what is."

VIC's mountain forests are on the brink of collapse due to frequent bushfires & lack of regeneration support.
