Honoured to be a speaker at the IUCN Regional Conservation Forum for Europe and Asia #RCF24ENCA.
I'll talk about the importance of #UNESCO old-growth beech #forests for #climatechange mitigation.

Super nice Symposium led by @NatGeoSociety and @magdaboudagher, plus the collaboration of @AlfDiFi and myself, about “Integrating Conservation Biology and Society Engagement to enhance protection of at risk flora” #IBC2024
4000+ participants at the #IUFRO2024 World Forest Congress !
- Presented my research on UNESCO old-growth beech forests
- Coordinated a session on natural forest monitoring, organized by #IUFRO groups Beech Forests (coord. by me) + Old-Growth Forests (coord. by Bill Keeton) – at Stockholm, Sweden
How will naturally developing mature and #oldgrowth #forests contribute to #carbon accumulation and #climatechange?
Ecological theory, tree biology, forest demographics, active vs. passive restoration discussed on the first part of talks in our session at #IUFRO2024
#OldButGold
Thanks for attending our poster session today on #Monitoring Patterns and Processes in #Natural #Forests!
So many interesting presentations on different topics... Looking forward to meet you at 4 pm in room A4 for talks in rhe Technical Session!
#IUFRO2024 – at Stockholm, Sweden
Less than one week for the World's Forest Congress #IUFRO2024!
Pass by the session I'm organizing: #Natural #Forests are key for #climatechange mitigation!

A Barking #Heart!
In warm old-growth #forests the typically smooth #bark of beech may show exceptionally strange shapes resembling the thorny bark of some tropical #trees...

Archaeology and genomics researchers combine for a snapshot of the plant community around Nimrud in (now) northern Iraq.
Researchers extract ancient DNA of 34 plants from a 2'900-year-old clay brick from a palace of a king of Assyria (ancient Mesopotamian civilization).
These findings can give us an idea of the plant biodiversity cultivated at the time.

How much #biodiversity may a large dead standing temperate tree host?
Many tens of species have there their food or reproduction habitat - including fungi, insects, or epiphytes like mosses or lichens

In the depths of the Amazon, one tree stands nearly as tall as the Statue of Liberty.
It took 3 years for a group of researchers to identify the tallest tree in South America.
