@lancasteruni.bsky.socialReposted by @nickajgraham.bsky.social‘Tropical paradise’ atoll islands threatened by rising sea-levels could be preserved through protecting seabirds and restoring native vegetation, according to new research led by our own @nickajgraham.bsky.social of @lec-reefs.bsky.social 🏝️
@ruthedunn.bsky.socialReposted by @nickajgraham.bsky.socialOur new paper, led by @nickajgraham.bsky.social, shows that #seabirds and native vegetation can drive ecosystem processes that support atoll island climate resilience by helping them to keep pace with sea level rise 🏝️🐦
@ymalhi.bsky.socialReposted by @nickajgraham.bsky.socialSeabirds bring in nutrients that fertilise vegetation and reef, native vegetation locks in sediments, and the island grows. Seeing atolls as integrated geo-ecological systems shows how island rewilding creates climate resilience. Nice to see this wonderful project culminate in this publication...
@nickajgraham.bsky.socialHere's our attempt at a video abstract of our new paper in Science Advances. Well, we enjoyed it...

@jenniferappoo.bsky.socialReposted by @nickajgraham.bsky.socialCool infographic on our new paper in Science Advances! 🌿🐦🌊🧪
How can rewilding help atoll islands keep pace with rising seas?
