🌴Since my undergraduate time, I wanted to see the tropical alpine biome with its "giant rosette" species. On our #biome project fieldtrip in #Ecuador, I finally met #Espeletia picnophylla spp. angelensis, in El Angel. So happy! Magic!

🌧️ If your team members are patiently waiting for 1h in the rain in a tropical #cloudforest, chatting, playing, laughing and happily continue fieldwork with rain-sensitive instruments as soon as the rain stops & finish the day with a “high five”: Now you know, you have a fantastic team! 🫶

Samuel Schlaefli vomhat mich zum Thema #Biodiversitätsinitiative in der Schweiz und zu den aktuellen Diskussionen dazu interviewt🌳. Dabei haben wir auch die vielen Parallelen zur langjährigen Klimadebatte besprochen.

Happy to share my impressions from this year’s summer school of the @ExtremesWsl program and @SwissForestLab on «Forests & Extremes – crisis or transition?» in Davos. I was teaching how difficult it is to forecast the impact of #ClimateChangerelated extremes on #biodiversity.

I'm thrilled to announce that the project team of my SNSF Advanced Grant Project on “BIOME EVOLUTION & CLIMATE CHANGE” is complete and the members started their research @WSL_DME, @WSL_research!🚀 More information about the project here:

Stunning talk by Philipp Brun from @WSL_DME on #DeepLearning ensemble DNNs using #CitizenScience data to build spatial #AI based multispecies models for analyses and plant #SpeciesIdentification at #WBF24 in #Davos.

Dami Ogundipe from @WSL_DME just gave a great talk at the #WBF2024 in Davos on how to flexibly combine three important aspects of successful #ConservationDesign: Complementarity, Connectivity and Area!

Today, @DirkNKarger from @WSL_DME presented his research at #WBF2024 in #Davos on how biodiversity trends from Natures Futures scenarios differ in feedback to the climate system. Great talk!

This TUE, I participated in a first panel discussion as a member of the advisory group for the framework strategy for adaptation to #climatechange in @kanton_bern. We identified the most important challenges and worked on an effective and impactful #climatestrategy. @WSL_DME

How will #climatechange affect our #forests in Switzerland? What kind of extreme events are expected? Which #treespecies will disappear in the future? Last Monday, I answered these questions for the society of natural sciences of the cantons #Obwalden and #Nidwalden (NAGON).

Very honored to be listed 2023 and annually since 2014 in @Clarivate #HighlyCited2023 list and even more thankful to all team members and collaborators
@WSL_research and colleagues @usys_ethzh etc. It’s a team effort and the results of great collaboration!
