Following a landscape through time. I study how biodiversity linked to grasslands and deciduous woods are affected by landscape changes. This set of change is so common in Sweden. There is no space left for species to inhabit or disperse #communityecology πŸ§ͺ🌍

Oooh nice

So remember that dawn and dusk are long. At midsummer you can read a book outside but the sun goes down after 10 pm and rise at 3.30. Midwinter it rises at 8.45 and descent at 14.45. The change is slow around solstice but now we are gaining almost five minutes a day. Going from 6 hours to 18 hours

I've heard siskins all winter but since a couple of weeks they're gone

30th of January compared to the 13th.

Today I was in the Kyiv Botanical Garden. Plants in the greenhouse are freezing due to constant power and heat outages. Workers are doing everything they can to save them.
