W. Jetz & @DirkNKarger presented their work on “Mountain Thermal Belts in a Changing #Climate.” Using #CHELSA climate data on structuring the elevation belts of global mountains by thermal belts anchored to the #alpine tree line has led to a new high-resolution (90m) dataset.⛰️🛰️

Had an excellent exchange with the National Assembly Futures Institute (NAFI), the think tank of South Korea’s National Assembly. Together, we aim to build resilient, sustainable future scenarios for Korea. #NAFI #FutureofKorea #NationalAssembly @WSL_research @WSL_DME

🌏 Honored to participate in the DMZ Open ECOPEACE FORUM in Goyang, South Korea , where we explored how ecology can play a vital role in fostering peace on the Korean Peninsula. #EcoPeace #DMZ #ClimateResilience #Biodiversity #KoreanPeninsula @WSL_research @WSL_DME
Just in time for the peak of this year's #mushroom season, we tested the prototype of our new mushroom identification tool in the field! 🍄We're thrilled with the accuracy—it can distinguish over 1,000 #species and has provided many good results.🎉 shorturl.at/jY4Xr
DME researchers Elena Plekhanova @ElenaPlekh, Wenna Ding @DingWenna and Victor Boussange @VBoussange rocked the Biodiversity Research Day 2024 at @WSL_research.🌳🚀🤓
Congratulations Dr. @YaquanChang!🎓 She has successfully defended her PhD thesis on "Geologic controls on plant biodiversity of Hengduan Mountains".🌱🏔️ We wish her all the best for her personal and professional future.🚀❤️
We are very happy & proud to announce that our lab member Yi Liu @LiuYi_eco has successfully defended his dissertation on "Global drivers of mountain plant biodiversity". 🏔️🥳🎓 We wish him all the best for his next chapter in life & are excited to see more of his future work.🚀

Morgen (mittags, abends) gebe ich auf @SRF Auskunft über Zustand und Lösungen der Biodiversitätskrise im Rahmen der Biodiversitäts-Abstimmung. Warum Arten aussterben haben @FlorianAltermann und ich in diesem informativen Artikel von @EstherWidmann (unten, Paywall) erläutert.

DME members organized and attended the workshop "Deep-Learning Applications in Macroecology" hosted by InfoFlora in the botanical garden in Geneva where researchers exchanged findings and ideas on remote sensing foundational models, deep species distribution and habitat models.🌱
The DME group went on one of the most beautiful panoramic hikes in Switzerland from Melchsee-Frutt to Trübsee with fantastic views of the Alps, floral highlights and passing four mesmerizing mountain lakes.🏔☀ A memorable day filled with fun, laughter and team spirit.❤️
At the final conference of the @WSL_research– @EawagResearch Blue-Green Biodiversity initiative (shorturl.at/NHnxS), Philipp Brun gave a thrilling talk about "Baseline analyses for planning an ecological infrastructure”🌳. #wsl #biodiversity #ecology

New factsheet: what exactly is biodiversity and why is it so important for us humans?
🧬🐐🌳
What is the interaction between climate change and biodiversity?
🌍
We address these and more questions here:

Exzellent recherchiert und geschrieben: Fakten werden verdreht, relativiert, die Folgen geleugnet. Dabei ist der schlechte Zustand der Biodiversität wissenschaftlich breit belegt und notwendige Massnahmen zur Verbesserung sind klar!

Using #CHELSA-TraCE21k #paleoclimate data to analyze pollen records from Slovenia and Croatia we show how #climate shifts and human activity shaped the vegetation of the Northern Dinaric Karst over the last 10,000 years. @WSL_DME @WSL_research link.springer.com/book/10.10…

Happy to share my impressions from this year’s summer school of the @ExtremesWsl program and @SwissForestLab on «Forests & Extremes – crisis or transition?» in Davos. I was teaching how difficult it is to forecast the impact of #ClimateChangerelated extremes on #biodiversity.

A visual digest of the @SwissForestLab Summer School on #Forests and #Extremes co-organized with the @WSL_research program Extremes and @NFZforestnet . It was a great inspiration and learning exercise! @annie_yyc @Domeisen_D @Hydrology_WSL @bafuCH @NEZimmermann_ @SwissForestLab
