🚨New research!🌍Our #OpenAccess study in Global Change Biology shows near-term forecasting can accurately predict mobile species distributions up to 7 months ahead, even during extreme weather. A powerful tool for adaptive management!📉🦜#ClimateChange doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17579

Results from my peaty "Grand Tour", where I collected 405 surface water samples from 52 to 63°N, showed how varied DOM composition can be, but also how DOM can be clustered to maximise DWT efficiency: doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.202… #PeatTwitter @wateratleeds @rbpmleeds

Myself @NickGirkin have a letter in @ScienceMagazine where we looked at all 195 nationally determined contributions following COP28 found only 43 mention #peatlands explicitly.We highlight the importance of recognising them as natural climate solutions science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Some boreal peatlands are losing their characteristic pools – a concern for their unique ecosystems. @rbpmleeds and @uppsalauni researchers studied the long-term changes of the pools at Hammarmossen to understand why it's happening. Find out more: environment.leeds.ac.uk/news…

The prospect of large-scale loss of peatland open water area is likely to have important consequences for changes in peatland C budgets, biodiversity and hydrological functions, and deserves systematic study 4/4

New paper by PhD student @daniel_colson out now in Ecosystems uses aerial imagery to track changes at Hammarmossen patterned raised bog, Sweden. Over 61 years this iconic site lost more than a quarter of its pool area, overgrown by Sphag & sedges. Open access and free to all 1/4
Pleased to announce our new #PeatPaper ⬇️ Six Decades of Changes in Pool Characteristics on a Concentric-Patterned Raised Bog (Colson et al., 2023) link.springer.com/article/10… Many thanks to my co-authors @peatbloke @GeomorphMark @DuncanQuincey Håkan Rydin and @GGranath
