#biomass is thought to be by definition 'renewable'

not my idea.

✨ Honored to be expecting
 many high-ranking guests ✨

We eagerly await the opening plenary session on 22nd January in Graz, where Federal Minister Norbert Totschnig, State Secretary Elisabeth Zehetner and Regional Minister Simone Schmiedtbauer will talk about the challenges of energy and climate policy in political practice.

Hey all, if you're interested in learning more about renewables, check out this free webinar about heat pumps, geothermal energy, biomass and more on Jan 29. I'm not affiliated at all, just wanted to get the word out because education is neat.

Een uiterst boeiende maar even confronterende infographic nog eens meegeven.. kunnen hier veel uit leren, maar willen we dat ook? (ja, meen ik)

This infographic from Mike Fuery captures the influential article, ‘The biomass distribution on Earth’ (Bar-On, Phillips & Miki, 2018), which concluded that wild mammals comprise just 4% of the world’s mammalian biomass.

New publication in #EcologicalModelling! Benedikt Hartweg & his colleagues simulated tropical forests in #Brazil under disturbance scenarios and fitted allometries at different spatial scales. Super helpful insights for the new #BIOMASS mission by @esa

🌿 #EvoLand C3 candidate prototype provides consistent estimates of above-ground woody #biomass (AGB) and #forest canopy height (FCH) to complement the CLMS portfolio. It exploits new EO missions (e.g., GEDI) and applies parametric and non-parametric models for pixel-level AGB estimation, adaptable to stakeholder needs.

Maybe about time that we give more space to other species?

#Human #biomass movement exceeds the biomass #movement of all land #animals combined

"The combined biomass movement of all wild #birds, land #arthropods and wild land #mammals is about one-sixth that of humans walking and about 40 times smaller than all the biomass movement of humans. The biomass movement of marine animals, which we find to be the living world’s largest, has been halved since 1850 due to industrial fishing and whaling, while human biomass movement has increased by about 40-fold."

Human biomass movement exceeds the biomass movement of all land animals combined - Nature Ecology & Evolution

Quantifying the global estimated movement of biomass on Earth, the authors show that land animal biomass movement is around 40 times smaller than all human biomass movement, with marine animal movement of biomass having halved since 1850.

“For every year except three since 2004, the #biomass of the #sardine species #SardinopsSagax had fallen to 25% of its maximum abundance off the coast of western #SouthAfrica, the study found. The fish are a key food for African #penguins.”

60,000 African penguins starved to death after sardine numbers collapsed – study

Climate crisis and overfishing contributed to loss of 95% of penguins in two breeding colonies in South Africa, research finds

2025 sees intense wildfire year in the Northern Hemisphere

In 2025, the #Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (#CAMS) continued to track #wildfire #emissions worldwide, offering detailed insights into fire intensity, associated emissions and atmospheric impacts. Several parts of the world saw significant wildfire activity, with record high emissions in #Europe, and #Canada recording its second-highest annual total of #carbon emissions from wildfires since the start of the CAMS fire emissions dataset in 2003. CAMS estimates that global wildfires and #biomass burning released approximately 1380 megatonnes of carbon by the end of November 2025 (compared with 1850 and 1940 megatonnes of carbon in the January-November and annual respective totals of 2024), with Canada contributing 263 megatonnes of that total.
