Restoring Resilient Ecosystems

RestREco - New project exploring the restoration of woodlands & grasslands in degraded landscapes & the emergence of complex, functional & resilient ecosystems

[Restoring Resilient Ecosystems @RestREco1]

You can read more on restoration and complexity in our woodwise article https://t.co/3ix8GDoWKQ… and our special issue of the Environmental Scientist https://t.co/EFZl5GM65v

The grassland team are busy in the field - finding lovely creatures like this larval glow worm

James will be talking about RestREco at this important @BritishEcolSoc conference

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

Looking forward to giving a keynote at this conference next month

I’ll be talking about how we might enhance ecological resilience under an uncertain future https://t.co/631vVMSyxb

‘Setting goals for dynamic nature: paradox or solution’ - @emilyhwaddell gives an overview & insights from the @RestREco1 project 🌻🌳🦋🕷🪲#NaturMaal

[Maico Weites @MWeites]

Some of the 1333 spiders I have identified for @RestREco1 over the last two days: Mermessus trilobatus, Drassyllus pusillus, Ozyptila sanctuaria, and Clubiona reclusa.

New blog! In this month's blog @MWeites
gives an update on the work of the @UK_CEH
grassland team and what interesting inverts they are finding in their samples. 🕷🪲🪰

NEW BLOG!

For this month's blog, newest member of the team, Sam Hibdige @CranfieldUni talks us through the lab processing of our soil samples, and what we hope to learn from the genetic diversity of microbes! 🦠🔬🧬

🌳Spatially targeting #woodland creation adjacent to ancient woodlands reduces 'colonisation credit' faster but not it in a meaningful time frame – #biodiversity targets must account for appropriate time lags

Foresters have used natural colonisation & regeneration for many years.
With rapid climate change we need to ensure our forests are adapted & resilient.
This @Forest_Research work ⬇️ helps us better understand when & where we can combine planting with colonisation on agri sites

[Brynley Andrews Associates @spaces_tree]

“a blend of approaches will be needed to meet…….. objectives, increase forest cover and tackle the biodiversity and climate crises.” Makes sense 👍

[Maico Weites @MWeites]

Lots of Calathus fuscipes in the traps today.

New blog! This month, Hannah Patterson @WoodlandTrust tells us about some of the community engagement that's been happening at RestREco field site, Foulshiels Wood 🌳

New blog! For July's post @Melanie_Shears tells us about the fieldwork our @UK_CEH teams have been doing on grasslands this summer... 🐝🌼🌾https://t.co/tsIXBTYles

[Restoring Resilient Ecosystems @RestREco1]

New blog! This month, @emilyhwaddell and @EcologyBarnett fill us in on the recent @BritishEcolSoc & @WoodlandTrust conference: Trees for Climate, Biodiversity and People 🌳🌲🌳

#Trees4CBP @UniKent

[Restoring Resilient Ecosystems @RestREco1]

In the 30x30 session, our own @EcologyBarnett gave a great summary of some preliminary results on the 'sound of restoration'. 👂🏻🎶

[Maico Weites @MWeites]

Great to be out on the chalk grasslands for @RestREco1 this time of the year!

[Restoring Resilient Ecosystems @RestREco1]

Andy Stott, UK Lead Negotiator at COP-15 tells us about how to make sure the goals of the Global Biodiversity Framework are met

[Restoring Resilient Ecosystems @RestREco1]

Final Session at #Trees4CBP on Landscape Restoration. Looking forward to some interesting talks on woodland creation & restoration 🌲🌳

[Restoring Resilient Ecosystems @RestREco1]

Next we heard from @GeogJulie about the role of social science and humanities in understanding tree health and biosecurity 🌳🌲🦠

[Restoring Resilient Ecosystems @RestREco1]

#Trees4cbp Tree Health session kicks off with @bec_goose from the @woodlandtrust discussing tree pests & pathogens and the role of citizen science can play in monitoring these
