Great looking PhD offer with @laurajanegraham.bsky.social assessing the importance of Miyawaki ‘Tiny forests’ for biodiversity. There's a paper due out soon in @jappliedecology.bsky.social that calls for more robust assessments of the Miyawaki method, so good to see projects aiming to fill this gap!
