Fascinating study that backs up the idea that woods need grazing* and management
(*carefully and with thought, to create habitats)
Also interesting to see how similar my (grazed and coppiced) woods and wood edges look to the photos in the study.

Before human-driven degradation, European wildwoods were rich in hazel, oak, and yew—species thriving on disturbances likely caused by large herbivores. 🫎 🐘 🦬 In particular, we found way more hazel and yew before the late-Quaternary megafauna extinctions: doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Distribution, drivers and restoration priorities of plant invasions in India
India implemented national-scale invasive plant monitoring by integrating it with the umbrella project on tiger assessment. Embarking on this big data, we show that two-thirds of India's natural area...

More evidence that Europe's ancient landscapes were open woodlands: Study finds oak, hazel and yew were abundant
In 2023 a research group from Aarhus University in Denmark found that light woodland and open vegetation dominated Europe's temperate forests before Homo sapiens. In a new study, recently published in...
