How can we protect our nursery plants from invasive pathogens? On 20 April, @purpest-eu.bsky.social is organising a free webinar on healthy nursery management practices, with the participation of Thomas Jung, a member of the #BiodivRestore Knowledge Hub.
ℹ️ purpest.eu/news/webinar...

The #BiodivRestore Knowledge Hub aims to empower countries to develop and implement National Restoration Plans (#NRP). Last month, a member of the Hub participated in a conference in Rome to discuss challenges and opportunities related to Italy’s NRP.

Fish Assemblage Patterns in Rhodolith Beds of a Southwestern Atlantic Marine Protected Area: The Role of Habitat Complexity - Thalassas: An International Journal of Marine Sciences Rhodolith beds are unique marine ecosystems composed primarily by calcified algae that provide essential habitat for diverse marine organisms and contribute to sediment stabilization, nutrient…

🐟 Rhodolith beds off Brazil's coast boost fish density, biomass & richness, vital for marine ecosystems. But #RESTORESEAS ( #BiodivRestore) data from Costa das Algas Marine Protected Area shows threats from mining & trawling, calling for stronger protection.

🪸 #RESTORESEAS ( #BiodivRestore) reports 1st local extinction of coral Phyllogorgia dilatata on Trindade Island. Models predict 63% habitat loss by 2100 due to climate change, with shifts in temperature, oxygen, & salinity. Urgent need for protected areas!

💧 Temporary freshwater ponds are crucial for species dispersal and biodiversity. In Madrid, #ResPond ( #BiodivRestore) finds seasonality, pond depth, and connectivity to permanent ponds drive macroinvertebrate assemblages.

🐦 #RemoveDisease ( #BiodivRestore) shows how genomic introgression among three southern skua species helped them adapt to harsh Antarctic conditions. This gene flow might be key to surviving climate change.

Microbial photosynthesis mitigates carbon loss from northern peatlands under warming - Nature Climate Change The authors use experimental and modelling approaches to understand the response of microbial photosynthesis to peatland warming. They show that warming amplifies microbial photosynthesis, which…

🌡️ Northern peatlands as carbon sink? #ReVersal ( #BiodivRestore) shows that warming increases microbial photosynthesis, potentially offsetting ~14% of projected CO₂ emissions by 2100 under high-emission scenarios.

The role of land use in terrestrial support of boreal lake food webs - Nature Communications Recognising cross-ecosystem linkages between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems is vital for sustainable management and conservation of freshwater biota. Here, the authors show that land use…

🌍/💧 Cross-ecosystem connections matter: #FreshRestore ( #BiodivRestore) shows how land management shapes lake food webs in 35 boreal lakes. Terrestrial organic matter supports aquatic life, with benthic consumers' allochthony dropping from forested to agricultural areas.

Unsustainable land use trajectories in the Tocantins/Araguaia basin: Insights from future scenario modeling - Ambio Effective watershed management is essential for biodiversity conservation and mitigating environmental impacts like deforestation and ecosystem disruptions, especially in the context of climate…

💧 Effective watershed management is vital for biodiversity in Brazil’s Tocantins/Araguaia Basin. #ForestFisher ( #BiodivRestore) CLUE model shows major deforestation risks ahead, even in conservation scenarios. Urgent action needed!

Differences in trophic niches and life-history traits between brook trout and brown trout in alpine lake food webs - Hydrobiologia Trophic ecology of lacustrine salmonid populations is well-documented in North America and northern Europe, highlighting their role in aquatic ecosystems. However, there is a notable gap in…

🐟 #FreshRestore ( #BiodivRestore) compares brook and brown trouts in Spanish alpine lakes, identifying traits aiding non-native salmonid establishment, such as flexible feeding, dietary shifts, and early maturation.

🪲 Carabid beetles can help control weeds. #FRESHH ( #BiodivRestore) shows seed survival drops 2.3% per beetle per trap/day. Sustainable farming practices could promote beetle populations for effective weed control.

🔬 Traditional biomarkers fall short in tracing basal resources. #FreshRestore ( #BiodivRestore) shows how carbon stable isotope analysis (with δ13C-EAA) offers unique fingerprints to track food webs. Standardised protocols & more research needed!

🏔️ In Pyrenean lakes, #FISHME ( #BiodivRestore) shows local environmental factors—especially phosphorus & light—drive phytoplankton abundance and composition, not dispersal limitation.

🌱 Plant translocations can help restore ecosystems, but are they preserving evolutionary diversity? #Transloc ( #BiodivRestore) finds taxonomic biases—yet translocated plants contribute more to phylogenetic diversity than expected!

🪸 Healthy marine ecosystems are vital for Cabo Verde’s resource-dependent communities. #COAST ( #BiodivRestore) unveils dense, diverse, & well-preserved black coral populations in upper mesophotic assemblages, supporting fisheries & sustainable tourism.

🍄 Mushroom spawn can clean water! #BioReset ( #BiodivRestore) shows adding it to water (especially grain spawn with lignin) produces enzymes that break down pollutants. Even works in wastewater.
