The EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change has launched a new Mission portal, providing a rich source of information and practical tools for regions, local authorities and communities to understand climate risks, develop adaptation strategies and implement innovative solutions. The portal is designed to support Europe’s transition to a climate-resilient future, offering guidance, data and […]

Lukas Meysick, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, discusses his article: Facilitation and constraint: Wave exposure and intraspecific interactions influence mangrove seedling morphology and resistance to dislodgement When mangrove forests come to mind, many people picture tropical coasts lined with diverse tree communities, sometimes consisting of more than 20 species in a single region. With this […]

The European Commission and EUROCONTROL have released a second version (V2) of NEATS – the Non-CO2 Aviation Effects Tracking System – an IT tool for monitoring, reporting, and verifying the non-CO2 climate impacts of aviation. Aircraft operators can now calculate the impact of their flights by providing data they collect. The results generated at this stage are […]

To support adaptive management, Magaldi et al. have developed a deep-learning model to analyse ground-level camera traps in African tropical forests. A familiar problem If you work in wildlife research or protected-area management, you’ll know the feeling: camera traps are brilliant at “being there” 24/7 in dense forest, but they come with a hidden cost—an […]

Laura Matas-Granados, Autonomous University of Madrid, discusses her article: Species functional traits affect regional and local dominance across western Amazonian forests Lowland forests in western Amazonia are among the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, harbouring hundreds of tree species living side by side. Despite this exceptional diversity, only a few tree species dominate these forests, […]

This Declaration was launched during COP30 by the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change, established by UNESCO, the Government of Brazil and the UN.  It establishes shared international commitments to address information integrity on climate change and promote accurate, evidence-based information on climate issues.  This endorsement comes at a time when the information […]

Understanding the probability of extinction is critical for effective management and conservation. While such assessment mainly depends on rigorous and standardized monitoring (the best of the best data), recent research from Acevedo-Charry et al (2025) features a complementary way that data gathered from volunteers can help estimate probability of extinction. A version of this post […]

Juntao Zhu, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, discusses his article: Loss of resource-conservative species affects plant phylogenetic and functional structure under long-term snow addition The alpine meadows on the Tibetan Plateau are unique ecosystems shaped by a harsh climate and traditional yak grazing. But as the […]

Comprender la probabilidad de extinción es fundamental para una gestión y conservación eficaces. Si bien dicha evaluación depende principalmente de un monitoreo riguroso y estandarizado (con los mejores datos disponibles), una investigación reciente de Acevedo-Charry et al (2025) presenta una forma complementaria en la que los datos recopilados por voluntarios pueden ayudar a estimar la […]

Olivia Vought, University of Michigan, discusses her article: Earlier snowmelt increases the strength of the carbon sink in montane meadows unequally across the growing season In cold, mountain regions, the climate is warming, causing snow to melt earlier. In fact, winters are changing faster than the warmer seasons in many seasonally cold places. However, how […]
