I had fun the last three days presenting the #EUFORE #EUHorizonEurope project at the annual meeting of the #INRAE Ecology and Diversity Division #ECODIV
The project is preparing the strategic research and innovation agenda for forestry and the forest-based sector for the future EU Partnership on Forests and Forestey

Every once in a while I grab one of my vintage lenses and adapt it to my Fuji, add a combo of extension tubes and head out into the forest to see what small things I can find.

I often search for scenes like this one - a small capped mushroom standing proud on a log. To my joy, I noticed this very tiny slug traversing the log too. For scale, this mushroom is the size of the white of my thumbnail! Tiny!

So... #ClimateChange is too fast for tropical #forests (and the organisms inhabiting them) to respond and adapt. Forty years of observations show that the rate of change is slower than needed to maintain equilibrium with climate across the full tree community.

Eine halbe Strecke später umfasst von Wald. Irgendwann ist man abseits genug, die verschiedenen wütenden Zweiräder auf engen Wegen hinter sich gelassen zu haben. Irgendwann verheddern sich Gespräche und Gedanken in den Widersprüchen, Technologien der Zeit einfach und weniger kritisch zu umarmen, und dem Wunsch, wieder mit bloßen Händen zu schreiben und gegen die eigenen Fähigkeiten das Zeichnen lernen zu wollen. Und dann steht man noch tiefer im Wald, lauscht diversen ungesehenen Vögeln und nicht einmal die Schatten weisen eine Richtung.

In many fantasy stories, there is that old, ancient forest that plays a significant role. The Redwall series by Brian Jacques (a personal favorite) has a forest or two like that. The Ancient Wood is meant to capture the mystery and majesty #fantasy #forests #candles #quillcandlemagic #scribblinquill

"AgentOrange has ordered over 100 million hectares of trees to be chopped down.

That's nearly THREE TIMES the size of the State of California."

"When sea otters were reintroduced along the coastlines of islands in Southern California and British Columbia, researchers saw kelp forests return to areas that were destroyed by sea urchins. But how slow or fast they grew back depended on the location—and until now, scientists didn't understand why".

"In an interdisciplinary cooperation project, scientists investigated the consequences of climate change in the Arctic. They focused on a group of organisms that form the very basis of Arctic coastal ecosystems—brown macroalgae, known as kelps, which form dense and extensive underwater forests along rocky coastlines".
