How does degradation alter the spatial variability of peat properties? Is it linked with ecosystem homogenisation? Check out our new paper "Flatlining fens?..." #PeatTwitter tinyurl.com/35ask22p

Dr. Jiren Xu (@UofGlasgow) and I (@ucddublin ) are editing a special issue titled "Peatlands as carbon sinks" in @SciReports. We warmly encourage colleagues working on carbon in peatlands to submit their work! For more information, please visit: nature.com/collections/cb…

Looking for a new challenge? Then come work with us! Applications are open for an Assistant Professor in Environmental Science at @tcddublin. jobs.ac.uk/job/DNU029/ass… Any enquiries, please DM @marcus_collier #academicjobs #universityjobs #environmentalscience

@JanBroderEngler Hi there, this looks amazing. However, for a paired test shouldn't the plots be mean and CI (point range / mean +- CI) instead of box plot..I also came across this graphpad.com/guides/the-ult…

This is how you can do paired testing in #tidyplots 0.3.1 🍒 #rstats #dataviz #phd

New version 0.3.1 of tidyplots.org now on CRAN 🚀 🍒 Paired comparisons in `add_test_*()` 📋 Selected comparisons in `add_test_*()` 🌍 Global options for all tidyplots 🐣 New `add_ellipse()` function 👀 Reorder functions now end in `*_levels()` #rstats #dataviz #phd

Great to see research briefing from our @UK_Treescapes TreEPlaNat project on using natural processes for woodland creation published by @Forest_Research Research briefing: cdn.forestresearch.gov.uk/2025/06/TreE-P… News: forestresearch.gov.uk/news/new-resea…

I recently discovered the correctR package by Trent Henderson. correctR is designed for the statistical comparison of machine learning models on correlated samples. This R package addresses the limitations of traditional tests like the t-test, which often underestimate variance due to assumptions violated by methods such as data resampling and k-fold cross-validation. correctR uses corrected test statistics to compare the performance of two models where samples are not independent. This makes it a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in machine learning, ensuring more accurate comparisons and better decision-making. For more details, visit this page: hendersontrent.github.io/correctR/ Interested in more tips like this? I run a newsletter where I share data science content regularly.

Our comment on a paper regarding the use of the term "evapotranspiration" just got published in Water Resources Research. It was a unique experience, thanks to the coauthors from diverse disciplines. #WRR Article link shorturl.at/dUdQC @tcddublin @TCD_NatSci @iCRAGcentre

Here, we use existing databases to develop a simple and rapid approach to evaluate the risk of subsurface nutrient export to the German Baltic Sea from coastal catchments.

Delighted to share our new paper "Land Meets Sea: Towards the Development and Application of an Indicator to Assess Subsurface Nutrient Export Risk from Disconnected Coastal Catchments to the Sea" (Short Communication). link.springer.com/article/10.100…

No advert out yet, but I will be recruiting a 2yr postdoc, start date autumn 2025, at @livunigeog soon. Lowland and upland peatlands, GHGs, DOM and water chemistry. Plenty of fieldwork. Feel free to drop me a DM or email if you might be interested, and please spread the word.

What an excellent way of putting it : "When scientists 'accept a hypothesis', the more proper way to describe this would be that they are 'failing to reject it'." - Yolanda F. Wiersma (in Experimental Landscape Ecology)

A vital work on carbon budgets from forestry on peatlands (Sweden) - highly relevant for the current discussion around forestry on peatlands (bad idea) in Ireland bg.copernicus.org/articles/22/20…

Planting trees on peatlands leads to more GHG emissions then those trees sequester. 30cm of peat stores up to 327 tonnes of carbon per ha. Forestry = 145 T Ca per Ha. It does not make sense to plant trees on peatland as a climate change solution. @MHealyRae @agriculture_ie

@PlantDirectJ @JenniferMcElwa3 @tcddublin @TCD_NatSci @PlantDirectJ - thank you very much for the feature. I really appreciate it. However, the title is actually "Lower grass stomatal conductance under elevated CO2 can decrease transpiration and evapotranspiration rates despite carbon fertilization"

Thank you and congratulations, @Browntist, @JenniferMcElwa3, @tcddublin, @TCD_NatSci !

Ahmad’s journey into plant science started with his maternal grandmother, one of Bangladesh's first female botanical researchers. #WeAreASPB onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pl…

Exciting! 📢 We are delighted to share the newly expanded #GrasslandsTrail, now showcasing 27 #GreatIrishGrasslands. @NPWSIreland & @PollinatorPlan worked w landowners to bring together these nature-rich grasslands, & we encourage you to visit them! greatirishgrasslands.ie

Finally! Hope this yields some real change! euronews.com/my-europe/2025…
