  1. 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

  2. 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 eu.jsonline.com/story/news/202 #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"

  3. #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."

  4. #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.

  8. 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
    doi.org/10.1111/brv.12923 Biol. Rev. by Adie & Lawes

    i.e. forests are an alternative state (doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2019)

    Note that many South American forests were also savannas, (doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-277)

    Food for thought!
