Nieuw: streepjescode voor luchtkwaliteit. Onze lucht is (gelukkig!) schoner geworden.
Dit zijn jaargemiddelden voor Amsterdam. Er zijn natuurlijk nog genoeg plekken en dagen waar het wat te wensen over laat (afhankelijk van het weer!).

A reflection of our times...income wins! Great shame that Arts & Humanities subjects are not supported better.
Only a few years ago @uniofnottingham.bsky.social liked to call themselves "Britain's global university". What kind of global institution stops teaching languages?
Well this is awful news: tinyurl.com/yr65mjkx
'All modern language and music courses are being suspended for new students at the University of Nottingham.'
Nottingham friends: please be assured that we will join you in protesting against this decision in the strongest possible terms. Solidarity.

Could someone ( maybe Matt as I don't know which other #observatree staff are on Bluesky) suggest we include the link to the podcast on healthy forests to the next newsletter? Thanks #Branchingout
The definition of a healthy forest depends on objectives, says Tod Ramsfield (IUFRO Div 7 #ForestHealth). For wood, disease is negative. For biodiversity, decay could be beneficial.
