Originally posted and adapted from Cairngorms Connect. Pip Gullet, Mark Hancock and Sydney Henderson summarise the Journal of Applied Ecology’s November’s Editor’s Choice research article. This study presents 30 years of regeneration monitoring to show a consistent, large-scale expansion of native woodland, largely through natural regeneration alongside deer culling, without the use of fences. If you […]

The editor’s choice for our November issue is ‘Timing of invasive species removal influences nonnative biotic resistance and trajectories of community reassembly‘ by Agostina Torres et al. Here, Associate Editor Maud Bernard-Verdier discusses the importance of this research: Invasive species control often targets single species, but as species introductions continue to increase globally (Seebens et al., 2017), multiple […]

This completes a series of other implementing and delegated acts that will allow for a timely inclusion of maritime transport emissions within the EU Emissions Trading System, as of January 2024. These acts follow the revision of the ETS Directive and MRV Maritime Regulation in the context of the Fit for 55 legislative package, which […]

In accordance with Article 3c(5) of the Directive 2003/87/EC (the ‘ETS Directive’), the Commission determined and published the 2024 aviation cap as well as the amount of free allocation which would have taken place in 2024 under the rules for free allocation in force prior to the amendments introduced by Directive (EU) 2023/958. The amended […]

The EU ETS puts a cap on greenhouse gas emissions from power and energy-intensive sectors of industry and aviation operating in Europe. This is about 36% of all EU greenhouse gas emissions. The cap decreases every year to reduce emissions in line with the EU climate targets. The report also captures key outcomes of the […]

Ali Serhan Tarkan ve Ismael Soto, biyolojik istilalar ve etkileri hakkında meslektaşlarıyla birlikte yürüttükleri çalışmayı tartışıyorlar. Çalışma, istilaları etkili bir şekilde yönetmek için karar verici mekanizmaların kararlarını kuvvetlendirecek güvenilir bilgilere ihtiyaç olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. İstilacı türler, biyoçeşitlilik, ekosistemler ve insan refahına zarar […]

This blog post is also available in German here, in Spanish here and in Turkish here. Ali Serhan Tarkan and Ismael Soto discuss recently published work, conducted with colleagues, surrounding novel biological invasions and their impacts. The study suggests that, to effectively manage invasions, decision-makers need solid information to base decisions on. Invasive species are […]

This initiative stems from the revised EU Emission Trading System (ETS) Directive (amended by Directive (EU) 2023/958). The meeting will take place on 1 December 2023.  Support to the Commission is provided by a consortium of To70, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and AerLabs. The goals of the project are threefold: Define what data inputs […]
