It's time to value tropical fieldworkers as equal partners.

With billions spent on watching forests from space, foresters and botanists have never been more vital. In our @Nature correspondence we show why, and what needs to change. https://t.co/IC7gdzkugv

A new 35m tall tree species discovered in Amazon Peru.
First collected in 1986 in a plot, it took until 2023 until fertile material was finally found and confirmed it as new.

Interesting paper from 2023:
"The rise of hyperabundant native generalists threatens both humans and nature." To me, even more concerning is the rise of hyperabundant nonnative generalists (eg. wild boar, feral deer, goldfish, bullfrogs, Burmese pythons).

We already knew that ending deforestation was essential to having a habitable planet. We've just learned that trees are about as important as soils in removing methane from the atmosphere - seriously impressive work! https://t.co/otnHAcnKy7

In a new @NatureComms study led by Bernice Hwang @lunduniversity, we analyse data from 74 permanent plots across 40 mature #forests worldwide to highlight the critical role of #herbivore #insects in #ecosystem processes & #global biogeochemical cycles.
