@ukceh.bsky.socialUKCEH colleagues Helen Roy, Paula Harrison and HyeJin Kim are in Bangkok, Thailand this week taking part in the Second Authors Meeting for the #GlobalAssessment2 from @ipbes.net.
Coming in 2028, this will provide a critical evidence base for #biodiversity decision-making worldwide ๐
@ukceh.bsky.socialThe latest UK Hydrological Outlook suggests below normal river flows & groundwater levels are set to persist across Wales and eastern & southern England following a dry September.
Normal to above normal flows in Scotland, Northern Ireland and northwest England.
@ukceh.bsky.social๐ Weโll also be sharing about UKCEH's work on Nature Positive Transition Pathway in UK Business & Biodiversity Forum's "Business Action for Nature: Turning Science and Policy into Action".

@ukceh.bsky.socialWe're going to @unbiodiversity.bsky.social #COP17Armenia this month, bringing science that supports biodiversity conservation, nature-positive decision-making, and action for people & nature.
Our delegation will showcase UKCEH science across official side events & the Tech & Innovation Expo.

@wwf.org.ukReposted by @ukceh.bsky.socialWe're delighted to be part of this exciting project! Saltmarshes do so much. They support wildlife - from migrating birds to natterjack toad - lock away carbon, and benefit coastal communities.๐ฟ Gathering new data is a key step in understanding these habitats so we can protect and champion them.
@ukceh.bsky.socialReposted by @ukceh.bsky.socialThe flux tower will provide scientists with data on how much carbon is taken out of the atmosphere by this vital habitat.
The project is a partnership between UKCEH, The Scottish Government, NatureScot and @wwf.org.uk.
It's the most northerly in a network of flux towers around the UK coast.

@ukceh.bsky.socialScotland's first saltmarsh flux tower has been installed - tracking carbon at the coast ๐
The new technology at Caerlaverock in the Solway Firth will help unlock the carbon storage benefits of Scotland's largest saltmarsh.

@ukceh.bsky.socialReposted by @ukceh.bsky.socialThe modelling framework it describes supports the production of Official Statistics on pollinating insect trends, published "in Development" for the first time this year by @jncc.bsky.social & UKCEH.

@ukceh.bsky.socialHello, we'll pass on your feedback. Thanks for sharing.
@ukceh.bsky.socialWe're pleased to announce a new licensing agreement with biodiversity technology start-up Wilder Sensing.
Wilder Sensing will integrate technology from the UKCEH-developed LepiSense system into their biodiversity monitoring platform under the name MothSense.
@ukceh.bsky.socialThe importance of insect biodiversity for vertebrates
See the study co-led by @r-cooke.bsky.social published in Nature Reviews Biodiversity: rdcu.be/8tw5as5aTc3a
@ukceh.bsky.socialInsects do far more than feed wildlife - a major new global study found insects provide shelter, chemical defences, sanitation and other vital benefits to 1000s of animal species.
Scientists warn insect declines could have far-reaching impacts across ecosystems.

@clairecarvell.bsky.socialReposted by @ukceh.bsky.socialSuper proud to have worked on this key paper from @pomscheme.bsky.social It navigates some complex modelling challenges but always a pleasure to collaborate with everyone involved ๐ @francescamancini.bsky.social @drnickisaac.bsky.social @ukladybirds.bsky.social @kitenet.bsky.social
@debalmer.bsky.socialReposted by @ukceh.bsky.socialGreat to see this paper published and happy to have helped in a very small way. Congratulations @pomscheme.bsky.social - top job!
@francescamancini.bsky.socialReposted by @ukceh.bsky.socialAnother milestone for @pomscheme.bsky.social ! This recently published paper describes the methodology behind the official stats on pollinating insects we released in June. Thanks to all the coauthors and especially to @clairecarvell.bsky.social and @drnickisaac.bsky.social.
