Prescribed burning for lightly managed boreal moorlands produces impacts on peat and C accumulation rates that are not as bad as is widely thought.... new paper..... nature.com/articles/s41561-0…

New research by @robmarrs1 @rchiverrell has found that prescribed burning, a controversial technique where fires are intentionally used to manage vegetation, is not as damaging to peat growth as previously thought news.liverpool.ac.uk/2018/12…

Just accepted in Quaternary Science Reviews, the first fire-history record to discuss fire frequency from natural spruce-beech temperate forests in the Šumava Mountains, central Europe. Check it out! authors.elsevier.com/a/1X6ds…

Nice mini-symposium of Extemit-K, a large collaboration of @FLDCZU and other universities in Europe to mitigate the impact of climate change to forest. Great to see talks of (a.o.) Sigrid Netherer @BOKUvienna and Miroslav Svoboda @FLDCZU . And, inspiration for @ForestDynamics

Paper published yesterday by @jesselmorris3 et al. (resulting from PAGES-supported workshop) investigates the impacts of recent bark beetle outbreaks to encourage knowledge transfer from past affected communities to future vulnerable locations: doi.org/10.1002/fee.1754

Cool new paper by @jesselmorris3 et al. synthesizing social-ecological impacts of recent bark beetle outbreaks to transfer knowledge from communities previously impacted by bark beetles to potentially more vulnerable areas onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Will depend on stocking levels too - but in UK sheep/goats change woodland more than native grazers cattle/pigs/deer (unless v overstocked)

Major loss of forests in Poland after storms, and the debate remains: salvage logging or no salvage logging? x.com/ForestDynamics/status/…
