New paper from @sacrevert and me in @JAppliedEcology ! We looked at the exposure of the UK's habitats to 20th- and 21st-Century climate changes, and tried to figure out how well our ecological monitoring schemes can help us understand the impacts: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/13…

After the grasslands episode of #WildIsles, here's brief selection of just some of the research by @UK_CEH colleagues on these amazing habitats...🧵1/6
