Over 80% of the world’s terrestrial #biodiversity can be found in forests; their destruction threatens the survival of many species. Forest landscape restoration can help reverse these losses. @IUCN_forests #GenerationRestoration Via @IUCN

Updating the model of secondary succession in the Tropics (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ge…) - a wonderful collaboration led by #NadjaRuger @2ndFOR1 @InvestigaUMayor @CEM_UMayor

@ManuelGuarigua1 I think you are doing great, Manuel! At the next ATBC meeting we will drink that beer together😀!

Robin, Jess, Catarina, Natalia, Marielos, Lourens. Not ten recognizable faces so get me half a beer, please.

@DylanJCraven @PoorterLourens It just started! You still can join!😀

@2ndFOR1 @PoorterLourens Sorry to have missed the meeting!

Wonderful to meet live! We had a nice 2ndFOR workshop @ #ATBC2022 in Cartagena to discuss collaboration within the network. (With Jorge Meave being virtually amongst us!)

Toasting with the 2ndFOR research network at #ATBC2022 4 the now already famous paper with Catarina Jakovac in Sc Adv. Can you recognize at least 10 people? Then we invite you a beer!😀doi.org/10.1126/sciadv…

Young #secondary #forests show strong floristic variation across the #Neotropics, with 14 regions differing in #species composition. This is surprising, as it was thought they would be dominated by a few widespread pioneer species.Jakovac @2ndFOR1 in ScAdv tinyurl.com/ys9f98ah

Check out a new paper with @PoorterLourens in @PLOSCompBiol: Ten simple rules for managing communications with a large number of coauthors dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

And here is how you can assess forest dynamics for your landscape as well!

A supercool tool to assess forest landscape dynamics!

Brandnew @2ndFOR1 paper just out in @PNASNews on the functional trait recovery during secondary succession across the Neotropics, by @PoorterLourens and many others!

Please RT: A call for papers! ForestGEO postdoc, Nobby Kunert, is guest editing a special edition of @Forests_MDPI focused on nutrients and water use of trees on tropical forests. Manuscripts submissions due 31 May 2020: mdpi.com/journal/forest… @ForestPlots @2ndFOR1

A study finds that close to a trillion trees could potentially be planted on Earth—enough to sequester more than 200 billion tons of carbon. But environmental change on this scale is no easy task. pbs.org/wgbh/nova/arti…

We will be at the #ATBC2019 in #Madagascar! Will you? Early Bird Registration is open until tomorrow! @theATBC atbc2019.org
