Interested in #forest restoration and #carbon sequestration?

🚨 In our new study in @globalchangebio.bsky.social we show that 🌳 Tree diversity 🌲 increases carbon stocks and fluxes in a tropical forest experiment.

Tree Diversity Increases Carbon Stocks and Fluxes Above—But Not Belowground in a Tropical Forest Experiment
We examined the potential of mixed-species planted forests compared to monospecific forests to act as a nature-based solution to climate change mitigation through carbon sequestration. By analysing m....

On the train back after a very inspiring workshop on root exudation in Berlin, funded by @newphyt.bsky.social

What is it, is it important, where should we be in 10 years time, and how do we get there? Stay tuned for the answers!
