How can policymakers identify the most resilient management options? 🌲
In #ForwardsEU, researchers from the Università degli Studi del Molise developed 2 easy-to-use web apps that let users upload forest data and evaluate how climate smart their management practices are.

Hoverflies (family Syrphidae): As their common name suggests, these important Pollinators are often seen hovering or nectaring at flowers. They are the second most important pollinator after Bees. Lovely photo taken by Richard Burkmar in Middlesex, UK. #hoverfly #hoverflies #wildlife #pollinators

Common Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis) This European, North African & Asian species of Kingfisher has a wingspan of 25cm (9.8in). They nest in burrows close to lake edges or in riverbanks.

Very cool field course on forest restoration (focus on deadwood+soils) last week. Organized by #Priodiversity project in Evo (also a CS area in @safenet-eu.bsky.social).
Great to visit the Evo restoration experiment and Kotinen old-growth. My highlight: reactivating my soil knowledge (yay podzols)
🌳 New Mission Adaptation to Climate Change project: @trees4adapt.bsky.social
