Het Nederlandse radio-programma @VroegeVogels kwam op bezoek bij @Simon_Reynaert. Een boeiende bijdrage op over extreme weersomstandigheden en biodiversiteit in graslanden.
Vanaf 1:45:25 (10 minuten):

De biodiversiteit in grasland kan tot 75 procent afnemen door langdurige periodes van droogte of regen. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van @Simon_Reynaert van @UAntwerpen. Ook heeft het weer grote invloed op de kwaliteit van veevoer. #grasland https://t.co/5LQ2l1qMjm

Minder kruiden en minder hooisoorten: biodiversiteit in graslanden in Vlaanderen kan tot 75 procent afnemen door klimaatverandering https://t.co/gQLxsqYHg7 #vrtnws

@mkeulemans There's really good climate change attribution research (hopefully) soon out, that indicates that whilst the global trend indeed declines, climate change has slowed down this decline, and there will become a reversal point. Preprint: https://t.co/YnCpxfFoxq

Here are the big takeaways from the @IPCC_CH Synthesis Report released today.

First, climate change has already caused widespread and substantial losses to almost every aspect of human life on this planet, and the impacts on future generations depend on the choices we make NOW.

Ever tried modelling the complexity of all biotic interactions in a system? It's bloody difficult!
In a new paper, we succeeded, for a controlled drought experiment. We show that Higher Order Interactions help (a bit) at mitigating drought impacts.

Mooi interview met collega @RozemienDeTroch. Velen vrezen dat klimaatmaatregelen veel geld gaan kosten en onze welvaart bedreigen. Een serieuze inspanning is inderdaad nodig, maar niets doen zal er voor zorgen dat de rekening nog groter wordt in de toekomst

Check out our new paper on how basalt application improves the performance of grassland monocultures under climate change, despite limited soil #Csequestration rates.
Beautiful work led by @Simon_Reynaert!

More extreme precipitation selects for acclimated grassland communities with increased productivity and attenuated molecular stress responses in new experimental study. Read the paper by Simon Reynaert & colleagues.

Uitgesproken droge en natte periodes in de zomer versnellen biodiversiteitsverlies in graslanden. Nieuwe studie van Simon Reynaert toont belang van @Curieuze_Neuzen: hoe maken we onze tuinen weerbaarder tegen dit diversiteitsverlies? https://t.co/mLrnTncbLF

@silverstein Love you back; played in memory of... today. The bass line in the end came floating through my thoughts. Thx for making music..
