Out now in @NatureEcoEvo! Led by Dr. Lidong Mo & Dr. @ConstiZo, we studied global wood density variation & its drivers🪵🌍 Our research reveals a latitudinal gradient, whereby wood in the tropics is 30% more dense than in boreal forests. Why? Learn more:

Our team collaborated with researchers at Zhejiang University to identify how temperature shifts, evolution, and distribution impact plants with high silicon levels

RT @Decade2Restore: 🌳🌲 #ForestRestoration has gained much attention – but where do we use which mix of restoration techniques? @CrowtherLa…

After a loooonng winter hiatus, we wish you a happy start to the New Year! Special shout-out to all of our Chinese colleagues celebrating the day. May the year ahead bring courage, wisdom and kindness ✨ #YearOfTheSnake

Thanks everyone who stopped by at #PhD students' Kathi Runge & Giacomo Delgado's booth at #NACHTAKTIV last week! It was a blast talking to you all about #ecoacoustics & #ecosystem resilience 🌍🎶🛡️🌿 © Fabienne Gantenbein @PlantSciCenter @usys_ethzh

🌳📑 Recent #science from our lab shows that #trees' life histories are more complex & varied than previously thought – which has implications for carbon forecasts & conservation strategies. Why? Learn more in @MongabayOrg: @LalasiaM @usys_ethzh

Dr. Lidong Mo was invited to speak at the 10th National Symposium on Stable Isotope Ecology held by the Ecological Society of China. He shared insights on integrating ground-sourced & satellite data for forest-based natural climate solutions. Congrats on your talk, Lidong!

👏 Congrats #ETHBiodivX for winning the @XPRIZE Rainforest Bonus Prize! They stood out with an innovative, diverse mix of tech & data sources – including eDNA, remote sensing, AI & Indigenous knowledge – that we're happy to have contributed to. Read more:

How does #defaunation affect tropical forest #carbon storage? New research finds potential losses all across the tropics, though the extent can vary (highest in the #CongoBasin) 🌍 That's why including animal dynamics into #CarbonCycle models is key:

Healthy forests for cooler climates? A new @CommsEarth study led by @AlibakhshiSara shows that restoring forests can decrease land surface temperatures in 64% of all globally available restoration areas. Learn more: @TWCrowther
