What if ecological data wasn't just measured — but experienced?

New on the Local Haze blog: a conversation with Glorianna Davenport & Brian Mayton of Living Observatory on sensor networks, interdisciplinary collaboration, and documenting the arc of wetland restoration in #Massachusetts:

🔄 After grazing exclusion, #SoilOrganicCarbon (SOC) and #TotalNitrogen (TN) quickly recovered with their storage peaking at different exclusion durations. Differences in SOC and TN storage were primarily driven by #Roottraits at the community-level.

Thinking our relation to the environment...

Stone oaks, centuries-old trees that have evolved to endure drought and poor soils, yet climate change is now overwhelming their adaptations. Water stress, pathogens, and fire are increasing mortality, threatening these protected trees and the biodiversity they shelter. In a rapidly changing climate, centuries of adaptation are no longer enough.

Each germinated seed in this image is part of our rewilding effort, a careful attempt to support a species at risk. The success rate is low, but we keep planting, nurturing, and trying.

#BookReview: Britains's lost rainforests – rich in ferns, lichens, pine martens & more – once covered up to a fifth of the island, but have largely vanished from both our landscape & memory. In this inspiring book Guy Shrubshole journeys from the Western Highlands to Cornwall, revealing their history, ecology and cultural importance, while making an urgent case for their restoration before they disappear forever. #ecologicalrestoration #rewilding

Cross-boundary subsidy (Landscape ecology 🏞️)

Cross-boundary subsidies are caused by organisms or materials that cross or traverse habitat patch boundaries, subsidizing the resident populations. The transferred organisms and materials may provide additional predators, prey, or nutrients to resident species, which can affect ...

Biodiversity in agriculture (Habitat 🌄)

Biodiversity in agriculture is the measure of biodiversity found on agricultural land. Biodiversity is the total diversity of species present in an area at all levels of biological organization. It is characterized by heterogeneous habitats that support the diverse ecological structure...
