Nice analysis of #Canada's forests using large-scale and long-term #data:
"#Tree diversity increases decadal forest #soil carbon and nitrogen accrual" by Chen et al (2023)
Quote: "...#conserving and promoting functionally #diverse forests could promote soil carbon and #nitrogen storage, enhancing both #carbon sink capacity and soil nitrogen fertility."
This is increasingly important to consider we impose larger and more frequent #disturbances on #forest #ecosystems.

#History doesn’t really “repeat itself” but it often has a strange symmetry. #Onthisdate 114 years apart, #newyorkcity experienced episodes of mass #lawlessness. The circumstances were different, the first lasted a few days, the second a few hours, but they were #civil #disturbances nonetheless. It is an eerie #coincidence that perhaps deserves some #reflection. Stay tuned…more to come. #histodons #nyc

"Uncertainty, thus, is the parent of #biodiversity, and localized #disturbances such as #fires --which, at least up to a point, increase the level of #uncertainty-- are key to the maintenance of #diversity"

Humans societies are subject to #disturbances (like ecosystems). #Societal disturbances include #hurricanes, #floods, #epidemics, #nuclear accidents, #earthquakes, #wars, among others. The occurred in the past, will continue to occur in the future, & in fact, they contribute to shape #cultural evolution
1% of the disturbances to societies accounts for 87% of fatalities over the last 4000 years of human history

"Our results show that mountain environments are becoming increasingly exposed to biological invasions, emphasizing the need to monitor and prevent potential biosecurity issues emerging in high-elevation ecosystems"

For these 7 mountain regions, we can safely conclude that range expansions towards higher elevations along mountain roads are happening faster when #exotic plants are introduced at relatively low elevations, pointing at the importance of #human #disturbances to drive this pattern
The #velocity at which #non-native plant species are #expanding their #leading #edge is #faster at lower elevations, where #human #disturbances are the most pronounced

To ensure that forests continue to provide their valuable #ecosystem services in challenging times, we need to investigate #climatechange & #disturbances effects and project their future impacts in our forests.

Fall retreat of the DynaCom research unit funded by DFG offered discussions about #traits, #stability & #disturbances in #metacommunities, featured speedtalks by early career researchers and a workshop on (un)conscious biases in Academia.

#introduction: I'm a scientist at #CIDE, #CSIC, Spain, interested in the #ecology & #evolution of fire-prone #ecosystems, and more generally, in disturbance ecology. Specifically I aim to understanding the role of #fire and other #disturbances in shaping species, populations, #communities, #landscapes, #biomes, and the #biosphere.

So, I guess one needs to add an #introduction. I work on #remotesensing of the #landsurface, and I am particularly interested in #disturbances, #wildfires #agriculture #dataassimilation and #carboncycle
