🔥🌱 The new #AJB Special Issue, “Understanding novel #fire regimes using plant trait‐based approaches," is now online! 🌱🔥

This issue features studies from evolutionary, ecological, organismal, physiological, fire management & conservation perspectives.

Prescribed ecological burn conducted at Como in southeastern Queensland, Australia. Fires were implemented in either autumn or winter, and obligate seeding species were subsequently monitored over time to see if recovery differed with fire seasonality. The work was undertaken as a joint collaboration between the University of New South Wales (Sydney, Australia), Queensland Fire and Biodiversity Consortium, Queensland Parks and Wildlife and HQ Plantations.

Yes, solutions for nature are also solutions for health!

This new analysis finds urban greening is "associated with a wide range of positive health outcomes including improved physical and mental health, increased physical activity, improved childhood development, and reduced exposure to harms."

But it’s under threat from pollution, habitat loss, and climate change.

New paper from the MIREN network!

We tested how homogenisation (ecosystems becoming more alike through invasions) changes with scale.

Global = clear pattern
Local = not so simple

Like pulling the plug of a bathtub: an incredible mass of #glacier ice disappearing at Griesgletscher (🇨🇭/🇮🇹) in one century.
It felt emotional to visit the exact same spot @swisstopo cartographers chose in 1919. The view was so different.
Simply unbelievable!!

I really need to take a deeper dive on these IPBES assessments. It is like IPCC for climate change, but science of biodiversity, governance, and change.
ipbes.net IPBES @ipbes.net · Oct 15
📊 The IPBES #NexusAssessment Report highlights how nexus governance can address indirect & direct drivers of change as an alternative to siloed approaches.

Learn about the key components of a nexus approach with this graphic.

💡 https://www.ipbes.net/nexus-assessment
An infographic explaining scaling approaches in nexus governance. At the top, four speech bubbles illustrate different scaling types: "Scaling deep" (showing thought processes), "Scaling up" (institutional growth), "Scaling down" (distribution), and "Scaling out" (geographic expansion). The main diagram flows from left to right showing: Left section: Lists indirect drivers (Economic, Demographic, etc.) and direct drivers (Land/sea use change, Climate change, etc.) Middle section: Shows nexus challenges and elements with icons for biodiversity, water, agriculture, and health Right section: Depicts "Key components" of nexus governance including: Decision-support tools Capacities (showing analytical, motivational, bridging, and social networking) Enhanced opportunities for diverse actor engagement Implementation of response options (lightbulb icon) The bottom shows five key components of NEXUS GOVERNANCE: Integrative and holistic framings Inclusive approaches Considerations of equity and accountability Processes for collaboration and coordination Adaptive, reflexive and experimental The design uses a color-coded system to show relationships between different elements and processes.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay 🌍

#DidYouKnow Healthy ecosystems support healthy minds?

IPBES #NexusAssessment confirms: biodiversity and functioning ecosystems improve mental health. Access to biodiverse environments facilitates recovery from stress, depression & other health-related conditions.🏡🧪
An upward view of a lush forest canopy with tall trees stretching toward the sky. The image shows numerous straight, tall tree trunks with textured bark and vibrant green foliage overhead. The trees appear to be mature hardwoods, creating a dense, natural cathedral-like ceiling of leaves. Text overlaid on the image reads "NATURE HEALS" and "Biodiversity supports mental health" in dark text. A smaller text block from the IPBES Nexus Assessment describes the relationship between nature and health. The IPBES logo appears in the top right corner. The photograph emphasizes the height and density of the forest, with sunlight filtering through the leaves creating a natural green glow throughout the scene.
