The latest UK Hydrological Summary has been published 🌧️
November was UK's wettest month so far in 2025 & many areas have shifted from drought concerns to flood risk.

Groundwater levels notably low and reservoir levels still below average in parts. Winter rainfall amount will be crucial.

Bryophyte spore seasons are shifting! Using 35 years of airborne eDNA from Kiruna, Sweden, we found that many taxa now disperse spores up to 6 weeks earlier. Warmer autumns may trigger earlier maturation the following season🧬❄️ 🌍

With #COP30 underway, the @ipbes.net #NexusAssessment findings are more urgent than ever.

The climate crisis can’t be solved alone — it’s linked to biodiversity loss, water scarcity, food insecurity and pollution.

Integrated solutions can tackle these crises together. New in @plosclimate.org ⬇️
📢 In a new PLOS Climate Opinion article, the Co-Chairs of the the @ipbes.net Nexus Assessment, @pammcelwee.bsky.social and Paula Harrison, share key lessons for the UNFCCC #COP30
