Fantastic new paper (and the first Opwall-associated Knepp publication) by @NancycBurrell et al. showing that standard carbon stock measurements in landscapes with heavy browsing are flawed, and adjusted methods are necessary when assessing carbon stocks in rewilded areas.

Study at @KneppWilding indicates more #carbon is stored belowground in scrubland than current models predict – methods to calculate storage in these habitats need further refinement! Find out more: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… @NancycBurrell @ElizSJeffers @OxLEL

More carbon could be stored in scrubland than previously thought 🌳 New research in @AER_ESE_BES has revealed that trees under browsing pressure at @KneppWilding adapted by investing more in root growth, which could enhance their carbon storage 👇 bit.ly/3SBrs8M

The first ever global map of plant species which are used by humans - with implications for their conservation. New study for which Kathy Willis was a senior author 👇

📢🌱In a new study published today in @ScienceMagazine, scientists at UNEP-WCMC & @kewgardens highlight the global distribution of more than 35,000 plant species used by people & the need to preserve biocultural diversity hotspots. Link to the report: tinyurl.com/2afh5je9

Rumours this evening that @DefraGovUK will renege on the manifesto commitment to pay farmers to "protect and enhance our natural environment" are deeply concerning. There is no food security without nature. 1/🧵

Do join me and the Oxford Botanical Society for a talk on Knepp and rewilding, in light of the exciting new statement by George Eustice of govt funding for farmers to give space for nature @OBGHA's Winter Lectures. Book here: obga.ox.ac.uk/whats-on

Excellent blog by Prof Kathy Willis on Biodiversity Net Gain. According to the new DEFRA metric, brambles and ragwort indicate degraded land. Much of Knepp would barely register for biodiversity. Something wrong there. #rewilding oxlel.zoo.ox.ac.uk/4428
