Fascinating talk by Liezl Vermeulen on unique roles of climate, disturbance and ecosystem properties in shaping savanna resilience and resistance to change. To me, this talk really touched upon the alternative stable state of tropical savannas in the niches they occupy. #EGU24

Hello Vienna! #EGU24

More of this, please. Well done to those who have so far joined the boycott 👏

A must-read short piece on monitoring Israel's destruction of Gaza from space by two amazing colleagues of mine who I am proud to work with
Dr. Lina Eklund & Abdulhakim Abdi 🍉 #CeasefireNOW #FreePalestine

Hostilities in the vicinity of a WHO…

Dryland perennial plants create productive and biodiverse hotspots, known as fertile islands. In Nature Plants we report results from the first assessment of how grazing and other factors relate to plant-created fertile islands across global drylands nature.com/articles/s4147…
