NEW – ‘Significant’ risk of Amazon forest dieback if global warming overshoots 1.5C | @ayeshatandon.carbonbrief.org w/ comment from @gergmunday.bsky.social Nico Wunderling @davidamckay.bsky.social David Lapola @chrisd-jones.bsky.social
‘Significant’ risk of Amazon forest dieback if global warming overshoots 1.5C - Carbon Brief
Even passing 1.5C of global warming temporarily would trigger a “significant” risk of Amazon forest “dieback”, says a new study.

Ash Dieback has not gone away. It's still working through the ancient woodland tree canopies.

Until we understand the need for REAL forests of mixed, mainly self-seeded, wild native species, these catastrophes will just keep on reoccurring. 🌏

Minister to seek approval for €80 million ash dieback scheme to help farmers plant new forests
An independent review into the government’s response to ash dieback disease last year labelled the issue a “national emergency”.

We don't here much about Ash Dieback these days. But here's what it's done to an ancient woodland in eastern England after 10 yrs.
On the left: summer 2014, as Ash Dieback first arrived.
On the right: summer 2024, massive tree mortality/morbidity, vast amounts of deadwood, canopy opened up.
Wow.

There's hope for ash trees against dieback, but it depends on one thing: *natural regeneration*.
The reasons for prioritising natregen over planting are so many, so powerful, I sometimes feel I'm going out of my mind seeing them *still* being ignored.

Ash dieback is having some odd disturbance effects in ancient woodland. The extra light under dying ash canopy is allowing these wild roses to go crazy, scrambling up the tree trunks to heights of 7 m, forming these funky columns.

Across Ireland, countless ash plantations have been wiped out by ash dieback. A similar threat hangs over sitka.
When will forestry 'experts' grasp that planting monocultures is madness on every level, and that a radically new direction – diverse, wild native forest *ecosystems* – is needed NOW?
