I didn’t intentionally begin my 2-day #bikepack around Cayuga Lake on #WorldBicycleDay, but it’s a nice coincidence! Here’s to the #bicycle (that marvel of #sustainable transport), the beauty of the Finger Lakes, & @ChristmannTina, who first showed me how much fun cycling can be!
Congrats to @trishuphigh and @ChristmannTina for passing their DPhil (PhD) vivas yesterday, on forest restoration in India and Peru respectively. Extra special thanks to @marion_pfeifer for being examiner on both (7 hours in the same day!) …
So chuffed to submit my PhD thesis today titled ‘Revisiting the science and practice of ecosystem restoration in tropical mountains’ and to be supervised by such supportive and passionate researchers @ioliverasmenor and @ymalhi!

Our paper ‘Disrupted montane forest recovery hinders biodiversity conservation in the tropical Andes’ is now published in @GEB_macro.
Using 30m satellite 🛰 data we detect compromised forest recovery across the mountain range and large opportunity for forest #restoration
@prof_smurph @SERestoration @trishuphigh @c_stuart9 Thanks @prof_smurph! It was fabulous to get advised by you & Valter and to have the opportunity to do this!!
Excited to see our special feature 'Young voices and visions for the UN Decade on Restoration' finally out in Restoration Ecology. @SERestoration
Led by #earlycareerresearcher and for #earlycareerresearcher !

Fascinating presentation on Andean forest restoration from @ChristmannTina today. Interesting ideas around involving local communities for greater success.
Urban grassland phenology respond to the urban heat island! 🏙️🌱⏰

Using an urban gradient grassland monitoring network we find that climate & urbanization shift timing of flowering of very understudied dry grasslands.

'But for all grass has done for us, we haven’t done much for grass lately.'
A cracking read about how our World's neglected grasslands provide one of the most promising and underrated climate solutions & biodiversity heavens.
