#Kilimanjaro has lost 75 percent of its natural plant species over the last century
Human-driven #landUseChange is likely the primary cause of this #biodiversity loss on Mount Kilimanjaro’s lower slopes

My take that no one asked for: we should be paying Brazilians more for the oxygen that their forests produce than for the steaks that they produce after cutting down the forests.
How much do we pay for oxygen? $0. Does that mean it is devoid of value? Of course not. It simply means that our markets are centered on absolutely the wrong things.

The #QGIS Molusce plugin is really impressive: tons of downloads and lots of impact in the research community
Find out more about the latest developments in the latest #QGISOpenDay recording:
If you missed yesterday's #QGISOpenDay, here's your chance to catch up on #LanduseChange Simulations in #QGIS using the #Molusce plugin
Thank you, @Amz for hosting again and @nextgis for presenting
"The overall Eastern European carbon sink shows a declining trend [due to] a saturation effect of the regrowth in abandoned former agricultural areas, combined with an increase in wood harvest, particularly in European Russia, as well as more frequent climate-induced forest disturbances such as droughts."

🌿🚨New Paper🚨🌿
Our latest in Nature Sustainability uncovers #ClimateChange and #LandUseChange impacts on 1,498 tree distributions in #Tropical #SoutheastAsia. Only ONE pathway, of #sustainability, led to a positive future. All others led to severe losses, the difference between them being which groups gets it worst! We highlight an urgent need for integrated strategies that address both climate change and land-use change. We must prioritise SSP1-2.6!

In 2015, @rahmstorf and Thornalley in 2018 did #AMOC reconstructions of over 1ky from different proxies. And both start the rapid decline 1850. #Thornalley 's study was about warmwater #ocean creatures moving up to Iceland and some other stuff in the Labrador Sea. Don't recall what Rahmstorf's proxies were. But his data before 1800 is matches tree ring widths from Sweden and UK. Maybe those were his proxies, dunno.
Thornalley's paper is open access and Ext Fig 7 shows the early onset of the rapid slowdown https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0007-4/figures/7
You can download and plot both from this repository of Caesar's 2021 paper https://github.com/ncahill89/AMOC-Analysis
Just wanted to say, the Caribbean isn't the only "one location" where warming kicked in due to CO2 from #LandUseChange alone before fossil fuels contributed to #CO2 growth.
LandUseChange in the 1610-event and in the WW2-event due to population decline in the Americas, and Europe and China respectively, made AMOC hickup bigly, I think.
The topic of biomass is complex, so it's easy to bafflegab a green screen for #climate and #ecosystem damaging practices. #LandUseChange, especially destruction of intact forest ecosystems, is one of those damaging practices.
#Drax has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to do mislead about the impacts of their operations . Please sign the petition on the link below; regulation is the only way to change their predatory and duplicitous behavior.

fascinating - and ignoring everything we (should) have learned about #LandUseChange, #agriculture, #water, #NitrogenPollution, #ecosystems, #HANPP and how this relates to #ClimateChange, #insectapocalypse, #biodiversity, #OceanDeadZone . Oh yes, and the cost of food as food ag competes with fuel ag for product. But sure, let's call it #Sustainable. That's why we have #BrandMarketing specialists.

I wrote an article on the Northern Brown Argus project I did for my OU degree last year for @savebutterflies Scotland newsletter, it's in the latest one here:

I'll be doing a short talk about it at the Scottish Recorders Gathering in Perth, Scotland on 18th March too.
