Burying millions of tons of wood, which would require disturbing many thousands of acres of land, sounds like such a great idea. Just like carbon offsets were a good idea. Let's do anything else but deal with the actual problem.

Excited to share that the second paper of my PhD is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social 🍈🦜🍒🐒🍊🐿️
We show that the functional diversity of seed-dispersal interactions in tropical forests takes circa 20 years to recover after deforestation.

Richtig! Man muss bei solchen Falschbehauptungen immer wieder widersprechen und mit Fakten kontern. Haben wir in ähnlicher Weise auch bei Bauer Willi's Kolumne in BiuZ gemacht zum selben Thema www.biuz.de

Forest bird communities 🦜recover -- and their choires captured by sound recorders 🎤🎶-- but biodiversity recovery is hampered in agricultural landscapes where tropical forests disappeared!

It's even worse in this case! Rescuing honeybees by synthetic superfood (genetically designed yeast) to release them from the need of threatened wildflowers... this can further accelerate biodiversity loss. Synthetic ecology - for crops.

... Keep your motivation to fight for democracy, justice and science. Don't get used to facism.
Good luck in the new year
...countries are moving in a similar direction, having forgotten the #lessons your parents taught us [Germans] after World War II. We're not sure if we can return the support you gave us to stop our #facism. We may not be good teachers, and it's unlikely that you will listen. Please don't give up...
