I’m so proud to work with the incredible @YibiaoZ on the his global analysis on alternative stable states in forest types.

Generating a more mechanistic understanding of forest trait distributions.

Ecologists at ETH's Crowther Lab, explain the vast interconnectivity of Earth's ecosystems and the importance of restoration for biodiversity in the recently released Netflix's Our Living World narrated by British actress, Cate Blanchet. 🎬 @CrowtherLab https://t.co/wCkcg9E1B6

Large language models (LLMs) like #ChatGPT have been the talk of the town. In what ways could we use them for #science & #research?

We share 10 rules – 5 safeguards & 5 usage suggestions – for working with LLMs as #scientists in @PLOS : https://t.co/NmeNIdQfqT

[Thomas Crowther @TWCrowther]

ChatGPT can be such a powerful tool for so many parts of the scientific process. But only if we use it correctly!

Check out our guiding principles for how to get it right: https://t.co/PTGDP3ChMy

I feel like I could do this for ever and never get momentarily bored

Massive new @NatureGeosci paper led by Han Hu & Yuting Liang

We know that warming is increasing carbon emissions from global wetlands. But it is also shifting those emissions to a greater proportion of CH4

Great collaboration @ManuDelBaq and many others

@JadDaley @WIRED I agree @JadDaley. I have never told anyone to plant loads of trees and I have never told anyone not to plant trees. But I have now been implicated in both. These kinds of headlines can be so dangerous.

Tree Equity Score 🇬🇧 is live! @BBCNews⁩ captures the human impact for health equity & climate justice in UK’s most deprived neighbourhoods, which have less than half the 🌳 cover, 20% more air pollution. and are 1 degrees C hotter than UK average. 🧵👇 https://t.co/5TMx7f43dE

[Thomas Crowther @TWCrowther]

@JadDaley @BBCNews Wow, this is incredible. Our environmental challenge is directly linked to inequity. Tools like this are so vital for trying to tackle both. Congratulations and thank you for this work!!!

Hi from #COP28! 👋

@TWCrowther just spoke at @MakeNatureCount's event, discussing how #biodiversity credits can contribute to #climate & #nature equitably.

A highlight was meeting SEBRAE, stewards of a massive region of Brazilian rainforest & exploring @Restor_Eco with them!

[Thomas Crowther @TWCrowther]

Easy highlight of #COP was meeting these guys from Sebrae, who are the stewards of a massive region of Brazilian rainforest. They loved discovering others like them on @restor_eco.

They have saved their project on https://t.co/XizCbHZYB9 so go find and fund them ASAP!”

@nivedks72 haha its not stealing if i encourage it

[Thomas Crowther @TWCrowther]

At every instant, somewhere is the most beautiful place on earth. For a few moments today I think Zurich could have made that claim.

[Thomas Crowther @TWCrowther]

Finally, appreciation for the importance of natural forest protection seems to have ripened at COP this year.

We have always depended on nature for our survival. Now we also need them to help stabilise our climate. We need emissions cuts AND nature!
