New paper out in Nature Ecology & Evolution!
Global assessment of grasslands and carbon sink.
Grateful to contribute as a co-author with data from Ecuador, Sweden, the Netherlands & Norway.
Thanks to A. MacDougall & M. Siewert for the leadership

Thanks to Klara Leander Oh for leading this work – and glad to be part of this super-team. Key insight: deer effects on forest carbon vary widely across sites, highligthing how urgently we need deeper research on this topic.

500+ citations! 🦌🌲❄️
My first-author papers have now been cited over 500 times. Huge thanks to co-authors, mentors, and collaborators — research is never a solo effort. Grateful to be part of such a curious, creative community. 💡📚

🌍 Excited to share our new study, led by Isabel Barrio & a fantastic team, on Arctic herbivores & their role in ecosystem resilience. We highlight 8 research + 8 management priorities for the next decade. A roadmap for a changing Arctic! ❄️🦌 @HerbivoryN https://t.co/f9LTVxawuF

Check our work on the need to consider #conservation value of introduced populations (focusing on #mammals in this analysis) https://t.co/CStydo7sQU🐪🐰🐂

@JCSvenning @NaturePlants Yep, herbivore disturbance may increases soil scarification, soil nutrients and light in the forest understory which promotes local flora. Similar to my findings in the Netherlands. Such a cool research. Congrats

Our latest study, led by @Dendro_Unicamp, presents a network of 492 tropical tree-ring chronologies to explore climate sensitivity & reconstruct past climate! 🌎🌳With species distribution modeling, we pinpoint new regions for tree-ring research. https://t.co/6Hn9EhncF4

I’m also in Bluesky and would like to keep contact with all of you who are migrating from X. Add me :)

There’s a surge of interest in #microclimate & #microenvironment + how they shape #vegetation & #PlantEcology🌿My 1999 PhD work tackled this - how fine-scale variation in canopy dynamics, topography etc drives palm ecology in tropical #forests - see:

Couldn’t think of a better team!

[CHARTER Project @CharterArctic]

Our last #charterarctic assembly took place last week in #rovaniemi with over 70 participants to wrap up this #horizon2020 project. It was a blast! New networks, colleagues and plans for 2025 on #arctic #biodiversity, livelihoods, peoples

... and that's a wrap! Had a successfully final @CharterArctic meeting in stunning #Rovaniemi. Presented my research on #herbivore co-occurrences & habitat preferences across the #Arctic, witnessed cutting edge research projects & extended my network with inspiring researchers!

[Juan Ignacio Ramirez 🦌🔬🌲 @JIgnacio_R]

So cool that our latest article, the effects of #reindeer #herbivory on #Arctic food webs, is featured on the cover of this month’s Oikos issue.

Have a look at this month’s content 🦌🗻🌱🐛

Thrilled to be a postdoc at The Arctic University of Norway and getting to experience these stunning landscapes with my family!

Large native #herbivores aren’t better for local #plants than introduced species (but functional #traits explain the differing effects across species) - see our global study in @ScienceMagazine early this year @EconovoAU @AarhusUni https://t.co/6PlJNPD5oG 🐂🦌🐃🌿🌎 #megafauna

NEW🦌Our paper authored by leading #Arctic researchers (@RobertGBjork @BruceForbes4 et al) features the role of #reindeer in preserving #tundra #biodiversity. Herbivory reduces the size of the trophic community & weakens the dominance of shrubs over forbs
