#savannas — Public Fediverse posts

@HollyCo26588808 Where? Tree-planting is bad for #OpenNaturalEcosystems such as #TropicalGrassyBiomes and #Savannas.

This paper by Ranjbar et al 2024 paves the way for global monitoring of carbon exchange using geostationary satellite data with a 5 min resolution across different #Ecosystems, such as #Forests , #Wetlands , #Grasslands , #Savannas and #Croplands offering a powerful tool for scientists and policymakers tackling #ClimateChange

An important point pithily made... But why do I feel the CoP ain't gonna bother?

Open letter: There are more than just trees and forests to be conserved and restored

Two western #Wisconsin rivers will get $500,000 in #Biden's Inflation Reduction Act funding to make their #floodplains more resilient to #ClimateChange — and protect an endangered #snake species that resides there https://eu.jsonline.com/story/news/2024/01/23/chippewa-black-rivers-get-funding-to-fight-climate-change-save-snake/72124486007/ #USpol

"Much of that work will be concentrated on clearing brush and #InvasiveSpecies from the floodplain's #forests, #meadows, and #savannas... Eastern Massasauga #rattlesnake populations can rebound when they have enough habitat"

#LandBack and #rematriation are proving to be highly effective ways to effect long-term Everything, Everywhere, All at Once #ClinateChange mitigation, in addition to being morally righteous and long overdue.

"#Western #conservationists have...ignored #Indigenous people’s knowledge of #landscapes and #wildlife...that is no longer tenable...Indigenous-managed lands host 80 percent of the world’s #biodiversity...and...much of the...intact #forests, #savannas and #marshes."

#TropicalGrassyBiomes like the #Cerrado of South America are under threat of degradation by #Forestization.

Stop large-scale #TreePlanting in #GrassyBiomes. #Savannas are NOT "degraded forests".

Stop mapping global "forests" in terms of vegetation height and woody cover alone. That leads to misclassification of savannas as #forests.

#Brazil must protect and restore its dry #forests and #savannas to achieve its #climate goals, new research shows. Attention in Brazil and worldwide often focusses on the #Amazon #rainforest – ignoring damage and destruction of these seasonally dry #biomes, which contain vast #biodiversity and #carbon stores.

Interesting paper suggesting that #European #broadleaved #forests originated from #fire-driven #savannas; the prevalence of #resprouting species is a legacy; shade-tolerance & winter-deciduous are #exaptations
https://doi.org/10.1111/brv.12923 Biol. Rev. by Adie & Lawes

i.e. forests are an alternative state (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2019.11.003)

Note that many South American forests were also savannas, (https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-27749-9)

Food for thought!

Tomorrow is Protecting Our Planet Day 2022.
🌳 🌳 🌱

There's a fantastic team of #forest researchers from around the globe joining for the #forests session. I'll be there talking about #savannas

So far, 4,395 teachers and 76,182 students have booked multiple sessions throughout the day and bookings for sessions are still open.
