I'm excited to share my new paper on classifying dry tropical ecosystems in NE Brazil, using remote sensing. Our method aligns with the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology and suggests a new Ecosystem Functional Group: non-pyric shrubland. Find the paper: biogeography.pensoft.net/article/1454...

Forests sustain us. They feed people, nurture ecosystems, and support livelihoods. Yet, forests remain undervalued and under threat. #ForestsMatter. It’s time to change how we value them—because when forests thrive, people and nature thrive too. Happy International Day of Forests.

>20 years ago banging in aluminium nails, I realised its much easier to tag genera of trees common in forests close to the Andes, than genera that are common in Brazil, where the nails bend. Now Martin Sullivan has produced a beautiful map of wood density to illustrate this trend! rdcu.be/ecTlK

Today, March 20th, is Rewilding Day. To celebrate, a couple of wild Irish Atlantic rainforest images. Rewilding isn't just the means by which nature loss is reversed: it's how we can reconnect with the natural world, and each other. But Ireland is way behind: let's catch up! 🌍

Over two decades, harvesting aguaje palm fruits by climbing rather than tree felling in palm swamp forests in Peru, leads to a higher density of fruit-bearing female trees and increases incomes: a win/win for the forest and people. Great new paper led by Euridice Honorio doi.org/10.1002/pan3...

Are tropical forests in the Americas changing as adaptation to ongoing climate change? Yes, they are! Are these changes enough to track their suitable climate? Not quite! Check out our paper in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... to see more of what our network has been working on!
