Tree diversity is changing in the Amazon and Andes.
Belen Fadrique leads our analysis in @natecoevo.nature.com w/ 400 plots + 40 years of RAINFOR records.

Hot, drier, more fragmented forests are losing species. Many in the Andes + western Amazon are gaining them.
Quina pena 😭 ! I’ve learned so much from him.
Well done Nick ! Dreams come true , sometimes … :-)

New paper out in @ecography.bsky.social ! 🌍🌳
We looked at temperate deciduous forests across North America, West Eurasia, and East Eurasia, three regions that share ancient roots but have been separated for millions of years. What does that long breakup mean for today’s biodiversity?
@maitner.bsky.social showing the need to partner with regional initiatives to improve plant trait data #livingdata25

Without forward-looking models, biodiversity policy risks missing the road to recovery.
Our new PNAS article calls for predictive tools and a World Biodiversity Research Programme to guide global action.

🌍🌳 A new global study warns that many of the world’s tree species are under serious threat.
It also identifies potential climate refugia — areas where trees could persist if protected, and calls for urgent conservation efforts.

Phenology changes for the Japanese cherry tree (Prunus jamasakura) in Kyoto. Left: Day of the year of the flowering peak for the period between 812 and 2024. Right: Relation between March mean air temperature (°C) in Kyoto and the day of the year of the Japanese cherry tree peak flowering for the period between 1890 and 2024. https://jgpausas.blogs.uv.es/2025/06/11/134-years-of-climate-warming-effects/
Climate warming is not a recent phenomenon; it has had detectable impacts on plants for at least 134 years!

Key results of community dynamics in one of the fastest warming biomes. @nanitundra.bsky.social show no homogenization, no simple borealization and shrubs playing a major role. More here ⬇️
Great afternoon back together w JC Gégout and @jeremborderieux.bsky.social in a forest to record a podcasts on forest understory community thermophilization and homogenization @agroparistech.fr. Science here ➡️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Experiments under controlled light, are and water to unveil pulse and press climate change effects
Excited to start this experiment to understand #forest #tree community reorganization under pulse and press climate change. @laurachevaux.bsky.social is leading such an effort, and we spent all day planting seeds ! @agencerecherche.bsky.social @agroparistech.fr @ibb-botanic.bsky.social @csic.es
We sometimes do not feel prepared for being decisions influencers , yet we want science to be heard -> “Science’s big problem is not a loss of influence, not a loss of trust.” ⬇️
