Tomorrow is #NationalSnowdropDay!
Have any #LongTermExperiment researchers seen any #snowdrops onsite?
If so, post a photo below & don’t forget to mention which #LTE you work at.

While it is known that #drought affects #CarbonSequestration, it is unknown how the #soil is affected if they occur frequently.
A new paper on the #LongTermExperiment Clocaenog in Wales shows that drought frequency affects carbon sequestration more than the duration of it: bit.ly/3NCLGis

We asked our network here on Bluesky for their New Years #LongTermExperiment Resolutions, & @andreasheinem.bsky.social at @york.ac.uk is the first PI to tell us he achieved his first goal which shows #Climate data for the #LTE #peatbog site in NW England 🌏👇

Landscape view from atop a hill looking down. There is a stone in the ground, and blue skies in the background.
Happy New Year & welcome back everyone!
If you are working on an #LongTermExperiment site, what is your #LTE goal or new year’s resolution for?
Do you want a specific paper published?
Or maybe you want to complete a particular dataset?

Of the 4 cows in a grassland plot, 3 look towards the camera.
A new #OpenAccess paper from the Ainsdale Dune Slacks #LongTermExperiment team recommend using standard definitions & unified terminology to aid communication between academics & #LandManagers.
They use this #LTE as an example to highlight issues.

An upwards view looking to the sky, the tops of trees and up the meteorological tower.
New #research from the BIFoR-FACE #LongTermExperiment @unibirmingham.bsky.social shows how increased #CO2 affects how #carbon is stored belowground which has consequences for the ability of forests to act as carbon sinks.
