📽️@WILDCARD_EU has launched a series of videos that explain the steps for collecting soil samples. By collecting data on soil carbon and biotic communities, they aim to better understand how soils respond to rewilding.

Which regions of Europe are likely to experience #rewilding?🗺️

To find out, our partner @VUamsterdam analysed land cover data through two lenses:
🌱 Rewilding through natural #forest expansion
🌲 Rewilding through proforestation

Bosnia’s #forests aren't just #biodiversity havens. They're a testament to nature’s #resilience, a place of refuge & a reference for understanding ecosystems without human interference

Ever wondered what happens when #nature reclaims abandoned fields? 🌾

In a unique study spanning back to 1975, our @JihoceskaUni researchers explored how #rewilding transformed abandoned farmland in the Czech Republic

🔍 Find out what they discovered: https://t.co/3NzXXafMx9

🌱Exciting transformation in the Po Valley! 🇮🇹 Our partners @LaStatale @ParcoNordMilano are turning agricultural fields into resilient #forests to boost #biodiversity and tackle #ClimateExtremes using +3.600 trees & shrubs

Despite its many ecological benefits, #rewilding can be perceived very differently across various sectors of society 👩‍🌾👩‍🚒

Laura Bouriaud @USVro is leading our research on social preferences and innovative rewilding solutions

🌿What role will #rewilding play in implementing the new #EU #NatureRestorationLaw? 🇪🇺

We posed this and other questions to Gert-Jan Nabuurs, project partner in WILDCARD and @WUR Professor of European Forest Resources

Check out his answers➡️https://t.co/lSrzWftVEY

#MeetOurExperts! Did you know that land abandonment is increasing in parts of Europe, making space for #forest regrowth, wild plants and animals?

Pavel Šamonil is leading our work to assess the effects of #rewilding on abandoned farmland🌱

🤿 This #BiodiversityDay, join us for a dive under the surface to explore the deep complexities of #rewilding!

🌱In this new blog post, we explore different pathways to rewilding and how they build on various ideas of human-nature relationships

📜New paper! Comparing #carbon monitoring approaches in old-growth #forests

🌳Our new study shows that the largest EU forest carbon sinks are in the Dinaric Alps and a few large trees (5%) concentrate a high amount of carbon stock (36%) @uniud @unito

Are you looking for a PhD or Postdoc position on the topic of #rewilding? 🧑‍🎓

If so, check out our two new openings, the first on quantifying #carbon trajectories & #biodiversity, and the second on #soil microbial #ecology!

Guess what we're doing in these impressive old-growth forests❔

🔹Thanks to the University of Sarajevo, we're selecting sites in 2 mixed forests where no harvests took place since 1878!

⚖️ They can serve as benchmarks for understanding long-term #carbon & #biodiversity dynamics

[WILDCARD project @WILDCARD_EU]

Leaving #forests unmanaged and allowing them to regenerate on their own accord is a #rewilding approach known as proforestation🌲

Researcher Lucia Seebach is leading our work to assess its effects on the #climate and forest #Biodiversity! 🪲
