new paper, led by @nkolarik.bsky.social: monitoring outcomes of ecological restoration is challenging. Satellite imagery could help, but interpretation requires statistics that can identify breakpoints in messy time-series data. We provide a practical guide: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper out, led by @villarreal-miguel.bsky.social. There's a disconnect between remote sensing advances and application to ecology (including only 11 UAS papers in Landscape Ecology!). We provide a guide for using drones to answer ecological ?s: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #uas #drones

“This multi-scale assessment of previously anomalous heat and drought events on succulent desert plants shows landscape-wide impacts that could fundamentally reshape populations of these keystone species and the communities that depend on them”
New paper published by Wilder et al. in the journal Global Change Biology reveals how recent anomalous drought and heat events are impacting native succulents in the Sonoran Desert. The paper can be accessed at: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

El Paso Is Having Its Dustiest Year Since the Actual Dust Bowl
Drought, wind, and climate change are turning the Borderplex into a morass of airborne grit.

“The loss of this science doesn’t just mean fewer data points,” writes Kristina Young. “It means fewer tools to protect water supplies, fewer insights to guide wildfire mitigation and fewer answers when local communities ask how to adapt to change.”
Voices: Research on dust in Utah has never been more important. Trump’s proposed cuts put our economy and public health at risk.

Maybe next year I will host a Rangeland Wool Crafters social gathering
I know I say this every year, but *next* year at SRM I’m not going to overcommit to presentations
