1/5 What happens when woodland is left to rewild? At Lady Park Wood this transformation has been monitored since 1945! @ect-uk.bsky.social have funded the 9th resurvey (first resurvey since 2010). Exciting and daunting to be part of the team taking on stewardship of this amazing study!

Coring a big beech tree

🌳🌳🌳 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 isn’t increasing by shifting where trees allocate resources doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2423181122

Branch of beech tree, Fagus sylvatica, with nuts and green leaves.

Warmer summers are causing European beeches to produce seed more often, depleting the trees’ stored resources—an indirect effect of climate change that is threatening the sustainability of Europe’s most widespread forest tree. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Beech forest in the UK

Some good news! My 2nd PhD paper is now published (ForEcoMan: 50 days free access): authors.elsevier.com/a/1kbkO1L%7E.... We compared ground-based seed sampling methods, and find that the quick-and-easy timed count holds up well against quadrats. We also explore sampling effects on masting metrics.
