@eduley.bsky.social Carbon and ecosystem dynamics in peat-forming wet woodlands
Looking forward to lots of #peatland and #wetland chats at #BES2025 with our thematic session and social. Come and chat to us to find out more about the group and how to get involved!
Come and work with the InSPIRE project on understanding how proglacial #peatlands lock away carbon as glaciers recede. Details below for this 24-month post-doc position.
Congratulations @lauraboyall.bsky.social for passing her PhD viva with (very) minor corrections! A unique integration of modern monitoring, palaeoclimate, Bayesian modelling, data model comparisons & sci-pol. Expertly examined by Prof Caitlin Buck & Prof Jonathan Holmes. @rhulgeography.bsky.social
And from Roxane Andersen on the connections between #peatland and #river quality, and how peatland restoration can impact & support river health (and vice versa) with some really interesting examples from the Flow County. Important considerations! #peat
Some fascinating research on how #peatland habitats can deliver for water as well as other ecosystem services - including Laurie Friday on the importance of #ditches for #biodiversity in the Fens.
Thanks to @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social and Environment Agency for inviting me to speak at their water research seminar series - focussing on nature-based solutions of peat-forming #wetwoodlands, including some of the evidence gaps & research happening on these ecosystems @wetwoodlands.bsky.social
Visit to Chat Moss area yesterday to plan our new long-term monitoring site with @naturalengland.bsky.social looking at tree establishment and understanding more about trees and #peat in the context of restoration. The work is part of the @wetwoodlands.bsky.social network of monitoring sites.
Special thanks to @piabenaud.bsky.social @catmoody.bsky.social and @bootlegbryos.bsky.social as great breakout group leads, and our facilitators, including @eduley.bsky.social @dylanoliver58.bsky.social Steph Batten & Mark Heinersdorff
Fantastic day of insightful discussions and ideas on #peatland #resilience at the @bes-peatlandsgroup.bsky.social workshop yesterday. Excited to collaborate on the next steps with such a great group! @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social @britishecologicalsociety.org
Our #Peatland Resilience workshop was a success! We managed to have 70 participants across in person + on Zoom take part in all components of the workshop! Big thank you to all speakers + participants! @bes-peatlandsgroup.bsky.social @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social

Lovely day chatting all things #peat wet woodlands for @eduley.bsky.social PhD meeting at Goss Moor Cornwall.Fascinating site & lots of interesting research to understand more about these ecosystems! @scootjd.bsky.social @tomroland.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social @wetwoodlands.bsky.social
Thanks to @peatlandecr.bsky.social for their #PeatNeeds support to @dylanoliver58.bsky.social. It’s a great microgrant scheme for researchers on a tight budget! @wetwoodlands.bsky.social @rhulgeography.bsky.social

Does anyone else still have their lovely #PeatConf24 Sphagnum gift from @iucn-uk-peat.bsky.social? I ended up with three and they’re doing surprising well with little (no) input from me! #peat
Thank you to everyone who has helped us this year: local volunteers collecting data, checking kit and building boardwalk; research colleagues helping with fieldwork, lab and data analysis, and much more. We couldn’t do it without you! #wetwoodlands @wetwoodlands.bsky.social
Last day of fieldwork for 2024 with download of monitoring data at the Wheatfen #peatland #wetwoodland site. We even got a bit of solstice sunshine! @wetwoodlands.bsky.social
Hi Hayley, hmmm...it works for me so I'm not sure what's going on there. I'll add your name to the mailing list manually instead!
Great to hear from @scootjd.bsky.social on his PeatPic and #PeatColours projects looking at greenness across peatlands, and how to involve the community in the research #BES2024
For anyone who wants to get involved - read more and join our mailing list here: www.britishecologicalsociety.org/membership-c...
Great to meet lots of peat and wetland folk at the @bes-peatlandsgroup.bsky.social SIG social for #BES2024. Thanks to @scootjd.bsky.social for organising us all!
We are now on Bluesky!
If you don't know us already, we are the #peatlands and #wetlands group of the @britishecolsoc.bsky.social
We cover all aspects of peatland and wetland science and policy!Give us a follow and we are looking forward to interact with you all! #Peatsky
I'm heading to Liverpool today for #BES2024 as part of the Peatland and Wetland Special Interest Group team. Come and say hi to me and @scootjd.bsky.social to get involved in @bes-peatlandsgroup.bsky.social #peatlands #wetlands
