#Biodiversity #EcologyResearch
This #WorldWildlifeDay, our researchers are investigating how climate change and land use change are driving biodiversity shifts across the UK and Ireland.
By focusing on species traits (growth rates, life cycles, ecological roles) the project aims to identify future "winners and losers" and

When heavy rainfall and strong winds hit together, the damage can be far greater than either hazard alone.
As extreme weather becomes more complex, understanding this compound risk is critical.

🎉Congratulations to Climate + researcher Professor Ken Byrne on his selection as Lead Author for this key UN report on carbon removal and climate action.
🌱New research in Nature Ecology & Evolution revises global estimates of grassland extent.
This matters because grasslands store large amounts of soil carbon, and misrepresenting their extent can distort global carbon budgets & climate models.
