🛣️ #ASICS (#BiodivClim) shows roads disrupt mountain ecosystems, altering soil, vegetation, and fungal communities. They favour generalist fungi and reduce plant-fungal network complexity by 66-95%.
https://doi.org/10.1111/mec.17771

🌾 #MICROSERVICES (#BiodivClim) shows drought boosts soil EPS—protective sugars & proteins—early in wheat growth, but biodynamic soils divert more rhizodeposits and mucilage to microbial biomass over EPS, hinting at better drought buffering.
https://doi.org/10.1007/s00374-025-01918-0

🌿 Geospatial tools like Depth to Water Index (DTW) can guide peatland rewetting in agriculture, aiding climate and biodiversity goals. In Finland, #PRINCESS (#BiodivClim) identified 135,000 ha of peat soils for rewetting.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2025.125443

🌊 Coastal fishers' resilience linked to local knowledge. #EASMO (#BiodivClim) interviewed 99 Chilean fishers and shows diverse responses to marine resource declines, with local knowledge enabling diversification and strengthening adaptation.
https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-15893-300204

🍫 Policy brief from #SustainCocoa (#BiodivClim): The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) offers a real chance to drive sustainability in the cocoa sector, but it needs inclusive public data systems, agroforestry incentives, and national & global cooperation on traceability.
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173859

🌊 Climate change is fuelling the spread of Vibrio vulnificus, a potentially deadly bacterium. #BaltVib (#BiodivClim) shows that warming, phytoplankton blooms & currents drive its abundance, raising the alarm for public health & coastal ecosystems.
https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-025-02182-8

📡 Amazon wetlands mapped! #CLAMBIO (#BiodivClim) combines remote sensing and meteorological data to identify white-sand ecosystems (WSEs) in the Uatumã Reserve. A powerful tool for mapping and monitoring WSEs throughout the Amazon!
https://doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2025.2476776

🍓 How does climate change impact woodland strawberry across Europe? #PlantCline (#BiodivClim) finds mixed responses to drought—some genotypes thrive, others struggle. Could rising droughts reduce genetic diversity?
https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcaf025

🌿 #CLAMBIO (#BiodivClim) reveals exceptional vascular epiphyte richness in the Amazon. High endemism at 1000-3000m, and 76% species in PAs. PAs are crucial, but more conservation measures are needed to protect this diverse flora.
https://doi.org/10.1007/s10531-025-03031-y

🍫 Forest-focused supply chain policies (FSPs) are key for sustainable cocoa production in West Africa. But #SustainCocoa (#BiodivClim) highlights gaps in design & implementation, calling for landscape-scale approaches & greater farmer involvement.
https://doi.org/10.1002/sd.3380

❄️ #ASICS (#BiodivClim) highlights that much of Antarctica's biodiversity remains unknown! While vertebrates are well studied, invertebrates, plants & microbes—especially their interactions—need more research for better conservation.
https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adk2118

🇬🇱 Greenland’s economy differs from its Nordic neighbours, yet comparisons with them shape policies that may not fit local realities. #FutureArcticLives (#BiodivClim) calls for rethinking governance & sustainability through the lens of “island operations”.
https://doi.org/10.1017/S0032247424000202

🌾 Converting cropland to grassland on peatlands to cut GHG emissions? #PRINCESS (#BiodivClim) found no significant difference in CO2 or methane, and uncertain results for N₂O. This highlights the complexity of peat soil emissions. GHG estimates should consider more variables!
https://doi.org/10.1186/s13750-024-00354-1

🌎 Amazonia's history is key to its future. #CLAMBIO (#BiodivClim) reviews it from rainforest origins to Andes uplift to human impacts, calling for long-term investment in biodiversity monitoring and strategic habitat planning.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1809-4392202103601

🌱 How do seedlings shape a tree's future? #FeedBaCks (#BiodivClim) research in tropical forests highlights key growth-survival and stature-recruitment trade-offs, explaining life-history strategies.
https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.4527

🌍 #EASMO (#BiodivClim) identifies 4 framings for understanding ecosystem service co-production: input, actor, context, & discipline-focused, highlighting the need for diverse perspectives in management.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoser.2024.101694

🌱 #ASICS (#BiodivClim) & #ForestWeb (#BiodivMon) found limited upward spread of non-native plants along roads in the Scandes, but increased cover & richness at lower elevations, along with increased arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
https://doi.org/10.1111/oik.11075

🌊 In the Baltic Sea, #BaltVib (#BiodivClim) found salinity crucial for microbiota in Zostera marina (eelgrass) beds. Higher salinity increased eelgrass height, impacting sediment microbiota.
https://doi.org/10.1186/s40793-024-00662-6

🌳 #ACORN (#BiodivClim) used nSSRs & cpSSRs to study downy oak genetics in Central Europe. Two main clusters found, shaped by landscape & introgression with sessile oak. Likely post-glacial refugia identified. Important for conservation & seed sourcing!
https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcae216

🌿 Salt marshes to the rescue! #NordSalt (#BiodivClim) found that near-surface water levels maximise CO2 uptake & minimise methane emissions, resulting in a strong negative global warming potential. Crucial for climate change mitigation.
https://doi.org/10.1002/lno.12742

🌡️🌱 #MICROSERVICES (#BiodivClim) shows how different farming practices affect ammonia-oxidizing communities and nitrogen cycling under drought. Crucial for predicting the impact of climate change on soil functions!
