Picture yourself walking along a coastal salt marsh. The squishy mud beneath your feet, the chorus of bird calls, and the distant shimmer of the sea – this seemingly ordinary scene is actually a vibrant ecosystem in action. Salt marshes are more than just scenic wetlands; they’re nature’s multitaskers, providing homes for countless species, shielding […]

The editor’s choice for our August issue is ‘Fungi and deadwood diversity: A test of the area-heterogeneity trade-off hypothesis‘, by Max Zibold et al.:  Environmental heterogeneity is one of the most fundamental drivers of species diversity. For decades, ecologists have suggested that heterogeneity–diversity relationships are generally positive. But today, a greater variety of heterogeneity–diversity relationships is discussed. In […]

As part of the ‘Fit for 55’ package, the MRV Maritime Regulation was revised in 2023, with a view to include greenhouse gas emissions from offshore ships in the scope of that Regulation as of 1 January 2025. It should apply to all offshore ships of 400 gross tonnage and above.  Following that revision, the […]

In this blog post, Michał Walesiak shares how increased bird diversity in an area of unmanaged windthrow persisted over a 20-year span in Poland. Natural disturbances in forests, such as hurricanes, fires, bark beetle outbreaks, often evoke negative emotions in people. Many find it hard to believe that hurricanes, fires, bark beetles… may actually bring […]

The published calendars reflect the operation of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR), which results in 266 816 768 allowances being placed in the MSR for the September 2024 – August 2025 period. Following the recent amendment of the Registry Regulation, as of 1 January 2025 the category of “general allowances” will include both allowances created […]
