New paper in @plos.org Sus Trans: mangrove restoration increases C storage, but where that C comes from is different... likely because restored mangroves have altered ecological functioning. And old-forests are stable C stores

It was a pleasure to lead the Umeå Marine Sciences Centre (#UMF) Autumn Writing Retreat last week!

With participants from several departments and all career stages, we tackled a range of topics, including #Sami culture, #plasmonics, #seaweed, #carbon & more. Can't wait for the next in March!

Let's think more broadly about blue carbon: @nickkamenos.bsky.social reminds us to take land-sea links & carbon transport between ecosystems in blue carbon policy & management

Co-chair of #OOSC @jpgattuso.bsky.social address:

"Without science we risk losing our way" - science, policy and publics need to work together for action

"You will not be bored!"

Fantastic efforts to bring OOSC to reality Jean-Pierre, thank you!
