🌊 If you're interested in Hydrological Restoration, add this to your reading list! 🌳

The latest paper by Vicki Bennion shows that developing mangrove communities were prone to the highest elevation changes - an important predictor for restoration success. 🌿

Key message: Measuring dry bulk density is as important as measuring organic carbon content when estimating organic carbon stocks.
Shouldn't surprise, but needs to be said.

It's migratory bird days at the Wadden Sea!
Today I joined the team at the tower in Varel.
Let's see whether we can spot as many species as last year 🤞😎

Good news from the Wadden Sea:
The gas platform 'Z1' (in operation from 1975 - 2007) in the Leybucht has been completely removed by the energy company.

They removed 2500 🚛loads of material. Some of it was used to reinforce a seawall in the area.

There have been efforts from some critics to suggest that the @metoffice.gov.uk weather stations are not good enough for monitoring climate change. Here, @edhawkins.org shows that they agree well with multiple independent datasets, providing strong support that they are, in fact, reliable.

There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

Scientists develop first ‘accurate blood test’ to detect chronic fatigue syndrome
Research could offer hope for ME patients – but some experts urge caution and say more studies needed
