🚨New research!🌍Our #OpenAccess study in Global Change Biology shows near-term forecasting can accurately predict mobile species distributions up to 7 months ahead, even during extreme weather. A powerful tool for adaptive management!📉🦜#ClimateChange https://t.co/95k5UMBeYY

Today we're launching our Wetland Potential Maps. 🗺️

Looking at where wetlands would provide the most value to people and nature, the maps highlight 100,000 hectares of wetland potential around the UK.

Results from my peaty "Grand Tour", where I collected 405 surface water samples from 52 to 63°N, showed how varied DOM composition can be, but also how DOM can be clustered to maximise DWT efficiency: https://t.co/cIIGsOjVMm #PeatTwitter @wateratleeds @rbpmleeds

Today is #WorldWetlandDay, some of my favourite images of these important ecosystems

[Dr Scott J. Davidson @ScootJD]

Myself + @NickGirkin have a letter in @ScienceMagazine where we looked at all 195 nationally determined contributions following COP28 + found only 43 mention #peatlands explicitly.We highlight the importance of recognising them as natural climate solutions

[Geography at Leeds @SoGLeeds]

Some boreal peatlands are losing their characteristic pools – a concern for their unique ecosystems.

@rbpmleeds and @uppsalauni researchers studied the long-term changes of the pools at Hammarmossen to understand why it's happening.

[Paul J. Morris @peatbloke]

The prospect of large-scale loss of peatland open water area is likely to have important consequences for changes in peatland C budgets, biodiversity and hydrological functions, and deserves systematic study 4/4

[Paul J. Morris @peatbloke]

New paper by PhD student @daniel_colson out now in Ecosystems uses aerial imagery to track changes at Hammarmossen patterned raised bog, Sweden. Over 61 years this iconic site lost more than a quarter of its pool area, overgrown by Sphag & sedges. Open access and free to all 1/4
