Peatlands – among the planet’s most important carbon sinks – are increasingly under threat from climate change. But a study co-authored by Prof Angela Gallego-Sala @exeter.ac.uk finds the combined forces of plant changes and microbes may provide a natural defence.

Owl enthusiasts, unite.

It's #InternationalOwlAwarenessDay 🦉
A Barn Owl stands sentinel on a wooden post, set against a backdrop of golden, autumnal grasses. The evening light bathes the scene in a warm glow, highlighting the owl's heart-shaped face, white underbelly, and the delicate brown speckles along its wings and back. A Tawny Owl perched on a gnarled branch in a lush forest setting. The owl blends in with its surroundings, showcasing its natural camouflage. Its feathers are brown with white spots, and its deep, black eyes gaze into the distance. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a soft, dappled light across the scene. A Short-eared Owl sitting on the thin branches of a shrub in an open field. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blend of warm browns and golds. The owl's striking yellow eyes are wide open, and it has brown and cream mottled feathers. A Long-eared Owl hidden among the dense, dark branches of a forest at dusk. Its piercing orange eyes stand out against the shadowy environment. The owl's feathers are intricately patterned with an array of browns, blacks, and tans.
