We've loved having Lucy Smyth visit us from Natural State to work on ongoing nature recovery research with Nikki Stevens. Read more about her visit here: www.oxfordecosystems.org/post/improvi...

We recently hosted Prof. Zhenfeng Shao, Wuhan University, @ecioxford.bsky.social to discuss our collaborative research on global forest resilience and to establish new research avenues following the China-Africa Innovation Cooperation and Development Forum: www.oxfordecosystems.org/post/strengt...

Congratulations to Dr Carlota Segura Garcia for passing her DPhil viva examination at @ox.ac.uk yesterday! Carlota researched the patterns of fire in the Brazilian Cerrado and how these are being changed by anthropogenic processes. Read one of her DPhil papers: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Join us for our last contribution to #BES2024 today at 1pm where @ellabrowning.bsky.social will be talking about how she has used Edge Artificial Intelligence to monitor urban wildlife in the UK

Day two was packed with fantastic talks, poster presentations and fun activities! We can’t believe that we are already at the final day of #BES2024!

How do we celebrate papers being accepted for publication in the Ecosystems Programme? By popping some bubbly together after work 🍾🥳 congratulations @jeaggu.bsky.social and @wzgeography.bsky.social !!!

Biodiversity is incredibly complex, so how do we define a unit of nature? A biodiversity credit market could help fund nature recovery, but there are also risks of relying on offsetting. New review with @ejmilnergulland.bsky.social 👇 bit.ly/3Bp1Juz @biodivoxford.bsky.social

Congratulations @miguelbaraujo.bsky.social on this fantastic achievement and recognition by @britishecolsoc.bsky.social at #BES2024

What a great first day of #BES2024! The turn out to our talks was incredible, thank you for your feedback and questions! We learnt so much from the other sessions and talks during the day. Day two, let's go! @ymalhi.bsky.social @jedsol.bsky.social @davbauman.bsky.social @navarrosales.bsky.social

Diverse pollinator assemblages are critical to the reproductive success of wild plants. Loss of pollinators due to climate change, habitat loss & agricultural intensification is already impacting wild (and cultivated) plants globally. Great paper @ibartomeus.bsky.social & colleagues 📄

Join us this morning as @ymalhi.bsky.social and @nickajgraham.bsky.social chair a jam-packed session on ecological flows and fluxes across the land-sea interface at #BES2024 @britishecolsoc.bsky.social

We end off day 1 of @britishecolsoc.bsky.social #BES2024 with a talk by Ecosystems’ DPhil student Francisco (Paco) Navarro Rosales @navarrosales.bsky.social on his research on fire impacts on ecosystem carbon fluxes and the productivity of Brazilian Cerrado. Don’t miss this interesting talk!

At the same time as Yadvinder’s talk, Ecosystems’ DPhil student Jed Soleiman will be sharing results from his research on soil microbial changes after rewinding a British wildland. This is set to be an incredibly interesting talk, so make sure to join #BES2024 @jedsol.bsky.social

This morning at #BES2024 Yadvinder Malhi @ymalhi.bsky.social is speaking about parachute science in the tropics. He shows evidence for increased participation of local authors in papers produced in the tropics and how some regions are still lagging behind on this transformation. Don't miss this!

We've created an Ecosystems starter pack. Follow news directly from our associated researchers and centres easily. go.bsky.app/PbeNyob

We are headed to @britishecolsoc.bsky.social Annual Meeting 2024! Look out for our team of Ecosystems researchers who will be giving some fascinating talks throughout the week, starting with two talks tomorrow by Prof. Yadvinder Malhi @ymalhi.bsky.social and Jed Soleiman @jedsol.bsky.social

We really enjoyed having you visit last week @davbauman.bsky.social Thank you for sharing your results with us and for your incredibly helpful seminar on causal inference. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Are you looking for guidance on using optical remote sensing (RS) to quantify elemental ratios? A recent publication that Ecosystems' Dr Eleanor Thomson contributed to discusses RS as an emerging tool in ecological stoichiometry: www.frontiersin.org/journals/eco...

We recently welcomed postdoctoral researcher, Dr Laurence Cannings, to our team. He will be asking interesting questions about the relationship between green spaces, nature recovery and human well-being in Ghana @naturerecovery.bsky.social Read more here www.oxfordecosystems.org/post/green-s...

We are so excited to have welcomed Dr Wenjing (Wendee) Zhang to our team at @oxfordgeography.bsky.social and @naturerecovery.bsky.social. Wendee's research will investigate the co-benefits of green infrastructure on mental health for the UK & Global South. www.oxfordecosystems.org/post/from-gr...

Join us tomorrow, either at @oxfordgeography.bsky.social or online, as we hear from an expert panel on how we can foster more collaborative and integrated solutions for tackling climate and biodiversity issues? @naturerecovery.bsky.social Register here: bookwhen.com/oxfordbiodiv...

It inspires us to know the role that @universityofoxford.bsky.social played at #COP16. The Oxford delegation were involved in many conversations around how #academics can contribute to moving the agenda of the Convention on Biological Diversity forward.

Read @ymalhi.bsky.social reflections on attending COP16 in Cali, Colombia here: www.oxfordecosystems.org/post/cop16-c...

Local-scale biometric GPP measurements indicate that West African forests are much more productive than their current ranking in global models of primary productivity. Read this new publication by Oxford Ecosystems' Dr Huanyuan Zhang-Zheng and colleagues here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The headlines and statements that come out of COP16 rarely provide the full picture of what has occurred. Join us at 15:00 today as we hear from the Oxford COP16 Delegation about their experiences in Cali in October. Sign up in-person or online here bookwhen.com/oxfordbiodiv...
