Botanical gardens cool city air by around 5°C in heatwaves, reveals an international study involving UKCEH. Parks & wetlands also notably lower air temperatures 🌡️ The @UniOfSurrey-led @reclaim_network team reviewed data from 100+ urban areas worldwide ceh.ac.uk/news-and-media…
Good news @ Edinburgh City Council. 49 native wildflower perennial meadows managed across city parks, many with Edinburgh Urban Pollinators seed mix. 2023 = 102,000 wildflower bulbs planted across city parks. Mini meadows being considered for cemeteries and golf courses 🌸🌼🐝
This paper was the first step in working on a new topic for my postdoc work, and I'm so glad I had the chance to work with my amazing collaborators on it! Cheers @er_bush, @JasonVleminckx, @bofosubamfo1, @Dr_MR_Metz, Simon Queenborough, and Adeline Fayolle!

The UN predicts that two out of three people will live in cities by 2050. But will these cities be good places to live? And can they do good to our living planet? stories.rbge.org.uk/archives/37764 @TheBotanics @BotanicsStories @RBGE_Science #NatureBasedSolutions
🔴NEW REPORT 🏭Cities are on the frontline of the #climatecrisis: 👥Home to 4.4bn 🔋Occupy <2% of the 🌎 but account for ~70% of emissions 🌧️The human spaces most exposed to climate risk We must act NOW to make them climate resilient. 📗➡️ Read more: ccag.earth/s/CCAG-Cities-…
We need cities that are climate resilient, keeping their people safe. We need construction that is fit for purpose in a net-zero emissions world. We have the know-how but we must urgently put it into practice. Read CCAG's action plan: ccag.earth/s/CCAG-Cities-…
(3/3) UNEP-WCMC is working on how using nature-based solutions and a system of urban ecosystem accounting can improve air quality in Chinese cities, among other benefits. Read more in our blog ➡️tinyurl.com/5n8p2z4x

Led by @jaydelves, our paper on the importance of small and in-country herbaria is out in @plantspplplanet! Summary: small herbaria and those in biodiverse countries hold unique specimen records. Without them, or view of the world's biodiversity is incomplete and biased.

@BESConservation @er_bush Hi Emma, yes the event will include urban landscapes! You can apply to speak at either the lowland or coastal sessions – which ever is most appropriate for your research area. Stay tuned for more information on the sessions.

Good news @ Edinburgh City Council. 49 native wildflower perennial meadows managed across city parks, many with Edinburgh Urban Pollinators seed mix. 2023 = 102,000 wildflower bulbs planted across city parks. Mini meadows being considered for cemeteries and golf courses 🌸🌼🐝
@kirstyjean Going back to work is another massive challenge. Months and moths of brain-melting sleep deprivation (which continues). The expectation from others that you’ll pick up where you left off, and the constant implication that you chose to have children, so deal with it. 🫠

The longer duration of seed germination phenology of the Giant Himalayan Lily surprised the participants. They thought germinating seeds of wild species was easy, like agricultural seeds. #SeedEcology is a fascinating world & needs more in-depth studies, esp. in South Asia.
