It looks like we from 🇨🇿 belongs to the Global South too 🤔 Grant agencies did not increase the budget for APC here, so OA is basically cutting our research money.
@nature.com research paper!
🔎 Our botanists contributed to a study that, for the first time, compared how climate warming–driven changes unfold across different types of European environments – in forests, grasslands and mountain summits. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
European #forests, #grasslands, and #alpine plant communities are reflecting climate warming differently

Forests in Šumava and Bavarian Forest NP are getting wild - describing their structure with #LiDAR was very helpful for #microclimate modelling.
Here are a just few pics from the #fieldwork:

Announcement: I will start as an assistant professor of ecohydrology at the University of Oulu starting from January. Snow, microclimate and Arctic-alpine ecosystems still on focus. Stay tuned for soon-to-be-opened Postdoc and PhD positions! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Vítěznou fotografií letošní Vědy fotogenické je Anglermoss od našeho kolegy Tomáše Figury. Gratulujeme! Nejen ji můžete vidět na aktuální výstavě v galerii Věda a umění @akademievedcr.bsky.social.
Nice to have such a motivated excursion to our #microclimate research plot! @spacetimeeco.bsky.social
Glad to see that cage protecting our loggers is still there.
New in gdalraster 2.2.0 🎉
You can now run GDAL CLI algorithms (e.g., gdal raster calc) directly from R -- thanks to the new GDAL 3.11 unified CLI.

This is figure 1. The global extent of natural forests in 2020 (according to the model, and based on the probability threshold of 0.52) with zoom-in examples (from left to right: Amazon Basin in Brazil, deforestation frontier in Indonesia, and boreal forest in Western Canada).
A paper in Scientific Data presents a novel global natural forest map for 2020 at 10 m resolution. This map can support forest monitoring or conservation efforts that require a comprehensive baseline for monitoring deforestation and degradation. go.nature.com/4remVIQ ⚒️ 🧪

Love to see the progress in implementation of shape-restricted smooths in my favourite package! Shape-restricted smooths are great for constructing models reflecting theoretical assumptions and hypothesis testing in ecology. #rstats

Short, thick segments of light-coloured roots woven into a brown soil with dark cracks and macropores. Glare at image top and bottom from LED light.
Technician carefully inserting a camera on a very long rail into a transparent tube in the ground in a beech forest.
First images from our #HydroScale Průhonice site show a cluster of beech roots growing at a depth of 1.2m!
Michal Man there, using the new device to #GoBelowground. We may need to come up with a new name for it--doesn't feel like a "mini" rhizotron.
