It's out! 🧪 "Lines in the landscape," on the under-appreciated importance of #ditches as diverse ecosystems: doi.org/10.1038/s432.... By @peatymike.bsky.social, @fluitans.bsky.social, @drtatariw.bsky.social, @timaukel.bsky.social, @jordannabergman.bsky.social, @juliecrabot.bsky.social, ...
Bottom line... Ditch Network Maintenance (DNM) doesn't help tree growth and increases drought risk.

I’m at #ESA2025 through tomorrow and may be hiring soon! If you are interested in biodiversity and ecology of peatlands, riparian zones, ditches, and/or forestry let’s meet up and chat! PhD and postdoc opportunities with all the benefits of the Swedish social system will be published soon!
100 papers every ECOLOGY student should read - from 2017.
If you could add a paper to this list, what would it be? biodiversitydynamics.wordpress.com/2017/11/13/1...

What I wish I knew: 33 thoughts for early career researchers
Reflections I wish someone had shared with me early in my research career.

Last week to apply!
In Northern Sweden, official sports events are cancelled when temps are below 5F, and kids at school go outside everyday regardless of the temperature… It comes down to clothing (which can be expensive)
Come do a postdoc in our department with one of the biggest rising stars around (@kuglerovastripe.bsky.social) ! Northern lights, cozy winters, forests, water, parental leave, and reasonable boundaries to foster a good work-life balance.
In January I'm starting as an Assistant Professor in Ecosystem Ecology, and will be part of @icelabumu.bsky.social !
IceLab is an interdisciplinary center with an open and stimulating environment, and being there is my dream job.
Now we are starting a research school with multiple PhDs available 👇
Ten practical guidelines for #microclimate research in terrestrial ecosystems

It was fun to be a part of the research in the little way I could. Glad you think it helped! And it’s my pleasure to promote it. It’s important to better understand how seemingly small changes in policy can have such big changes on the ground.
PHD STUDENT WANTED! As part of the @kawresearch.bsky.social Wallenberg Initiative in Forest Research (WIFORCE), we are offering a fully funded, 4yr, #PhD position studying #riparian forest #biodiversity & #microclimate. Due date Jan 21st!

Polar stratospheric clouds so beautiful I nearly cried. Little glimpses of the heavens…
I was about to post my own version!🌈☁️
Interesting pre-print showing that clear-cutting in boreal and northern temperate is followed by a substantial and long-lasting decline in forest soil C stocks.
In Washington’s Central Cascades, The Nature Conservancy is carrying out cutting-edge forest restoration work to reduce wildfire risk, improve watershed health and build climate resilience.

With climate change upon us fish need need wide buffer zones of mixed mature forest to keep rivers cool. Sweden is unprepared with < 5 m mean zones. River temps are now more often over 20°, critical for salmon and trout, lets put a proper green roof over our rivers.

Beautiful! Would be amazing to get you to Sweden and photograph our “Dreams” (something between a ditch and a stream)
First advent fires on campus in Umeå. Magical sunrise at 8:30!
New #silviculture paper that shows that #irregularshelterwood may reduce #wildfire effects in #centralBC #lodgepolepine stands. This case study suggests effectiveness of irregular shelterwood in mitigating #wildfirerisk + promoting #resilience.

Looking for a new textbook for the #silviculture course I am leading (w/ guest lectures from experts). We're using Pommerening's new #ContinuousCoverForestry Book, but also looking for either a book, book chapters, or key papers to supplement. Any suggestions? #CCF www.google.com/search?sca_e...
🥰 I’ve always thought that finding a fellow widower would be the only way to find someone who got me. Lucky you! So happy for you!
My son learned to use a pacifier the trip that started this side project-he’s now 8yo! Life happens!! ”River restoration effects on dispersal & the development of riparian seed bank: do poor seed banks limit restoration of boreal riparian zones?” onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
