Super important work by @mmlopezu.bsky.social, bees should not be considered the default invertebrates when folks think of #insects. There so much more variation in response to #ClimateChange and #LandUseChange to be understood! 🌐 👩‍🔬 🪰 🧪🦟🌻

Introducing a soil monolith with soil erosion 🪄

Only 30 cm of soil is left on the eroded slope, fertile topsoil settled in the valley. This stark contrast shows how centuries of farming shaped these #soils!

Land use change is normally just discussed in terms of emissions when talking about climate change, but there is a great deal more involved.

Beyond the Canopy: The Multi-Scale Climate Impacts of Land Transformation
When we change the vegetation across a landscape, we create a cascade of effects with both short term and long terms implications that extend from the very local to the global scale.

Forest soils hold up to 3× more organic carbon than cultivated ones, while farming is linked to higher copper levels.

Ireland has one of the lowest levels of biodiversity intactness in the world and animal agriculture has played a large part in this. Go Vegan!

Photo with views of Irish landscape, cows grazing on deforested land. Caption says 'animal agriculture in Irleand has eroded biodiversity by removing habitats occupied by wildlife such as trees, woodlands scrub rivers streams ponds lakes boglands wildflower meadows and areas of natural beauty. Now Ireland has one of the lowest levels of biodiversity intactness in the world. Restore Biodiversity - go vegan.

Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is bleeding. Mature forest loss is accelerating, threatening biodiversity and ecosystem integrity. Secondary vegetation dominates now, but it can't replace old-growth functions. Urgent conservation action needed.

New publication: Functional diversity of #soil microbial communities increases with ecosystem development, by @ehannula.bsky.social and others. #landabandonment #landusechange #carboncycle
doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Figure 1 in Ranheim Sveen et al. (2025): "Study design. Distribution of (a) sites across a national successional gradient in Sweden, based on (b) a paired grassland and forest sites comprising (c) managed, recently abandoned, and late successional grasslands together with fully afforested reference sites representing the successional endpoint. Soil samples were gathered in the field and sequenced with (d) amplicon and shotgun metagenomics to yield taxonomic and functional microbial community profiles, with the hypothesis that these would change (e) linearly, unimodally, or with threshold responses to succession. Note that the trends are shown as positive, i.e., with increasing diversity here, but may also be negative."

While a large number of studies focus on deforestation, the conversion of non-forest ecosystems—especially in connection with livestock and agricultural demand—has hardly been studied to date.

This new study looks at an important but still under explored question in land system science: how the spatial configuration of land cover, not just its composition, shapes local climate.
