schematic - trophic cascade with wolves in Yellowstone National Park
charts - The Yellowstone trophic cascade in context. Wolves were introduced into Yellowstone in 1995 and 1996. Between 2001 and 2020, estimated average willow crown volume in northern Yellowstone rose from approximately 0.30 m3 to 4.80 m3 (A; error bars indicate 95 % confidence intervals). This change corresponds to a log10 response ratio of 1.21 (B), which is substantially greater than the response ratios observed in many other studies (C). Willow crown volume was calculated using height data from Cooper and Hobbs (2023) and the crown volume model from Kauffman and Cummings (2024). Except for Yellowstone willows, average log10 ratios by system type were obtained from a trophic cascade meta-analysis of plant biomass studies (Borer et al., 2005); sample sizes are shown in parentheses; error bars represent one standard error of the mean (C).
photos - (A) Downstream view of the East Fork of Blacktail Deer Creek in August 2004 and September 2021, northern range of Yellowstone National Park, USA. Note the 2.4 m tall fenced ungulate exclosure near the bottom right of the 2004 photo with willows alongside sagebrush, which was part of a Cooper and Hobbs (2023) experimental site. In 2002, willow heights outside the newly constructed fence averaged 68 cm whereas willows inside the fence averaged 85 cm in height (25 % taller). In 2020, willow heights outside the fence averaged 165 cm while willows fully protected from ungulate herbivory inside the fence were 195 cm in height (18 % taller). The fence was constructed in 2001 and removed by the spring of 2021. The similarity, in this example, between inside and outside the exclosure in 2021 is consistent with the strong trophic cascade quantified in the full time-series dataset. (B) Upstream view of Blacktail Deer Creek in 2005 and 2021 and (C) an across channel view in 2005 and 2021 of another reach farther downstream. These chronosequence photographs should be considered examples only, but they do indicate that tall willows, with greatly increased crown volumes, had become relatively common along the valley bottom and floodplains of Blacktail Creek.

“Activists take over lobbyist for toxic Drax and Heathrow – as Starmer ramps up climate attacks”

“Grassroots network Axe Drax has targeted a key lobbyist for the UK’s largest carbon polluter. This comes as Keir Starmer’s compromised corporatist Labour Party government ramps up its attacks on the climate”

Urgent Action: Stop Disastrous Decision to Extend Drax’s Subsidies

The Government has just made the disastrous decision to hand billions more in subsidies to tree burners #Drax and Lynemouth. This is a decision to push up emissions, energy bills and profits for Drax’s shareholders. Rather than listening to the science, the Government is pouring billions more into the economic black hole of Drax.

While this decision is disappointing, it is not the end of this campaign. The fight to end dirty tree burning, and to transition to genuinely #CleanEnergy and #GreenJobs is far from over.

We need our MP’s to take action in Parliament and do everything they can to put a stop to this reckless decision. Please take the time today to make it clear to this Government and your MP that we will not stand by and allow them to pour our money into forest destruction and #pollution.

Marine protected areas (MPAs) with shared governance had a 98% chance of having higher fish biomass than those with single (state) governance, and the average biomass difference was 32%.

"Proponents suggest that shared ... governance ..[incorporates] the interests, values, knowledge, and resources of diverse groups in the planning and implementation of [MPAs]."

journals.plos.orgShared governance increases marine protected area effectivenessMarine protected areas (MPAs) are widely used to conserve and manage coastal resources. Protected areas are governed by a variety of institutional arrangements, yet little is known concerning the relative performance of different governance approaches. This research draws upon a unique dataset that combines details on the reported International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) governance categories of 217 global MPAs and their ecological outcomes to compare the performance of alternative governance arrangements. We find that MPAs with shared governance arrangements, where management authority is shared among multiple government and non-government actors, are 98% more likely to have higher fish biomass than MPAs governed by state agencies (i.e., primarily government) alone (mean effect size and 95% C.I = 0.32 ± 0.31). We also find higher biomass in older MPAs, those in countries with higher gross domestic product (GDP), and those with a higher proportion of no-take area. With targets to protect 30% of our oceans driving new commitments to expand MPA coverage globally, our results suggest that multi-stakeholder participation and collaboration facilitated by shared and decentralized governance arrangements can play an important role in achieving conservation outcomes.

Potential #IPCC rule changes could award planned carbon savings from burning #wood rather than fossil fuels to the wood exporter, not the importer, as per current EU accounting rules... Accounting is much more policy than science.

So much talks of energy production, and replacement, be it fossil fuels, biomass, nuclear or renewables. Not far enough talk of energy efficiency and powering down Earth busting Economic Growth (GDP) - the colonial, nature earth busting private wealth creator, that’s drunk on power. #WellbeingEconomy - #Degrowth #WealthTax #CircularEconomy

Climate Justice SocialImmigrationIsNotACrime (@iinac@climatejustice.social)Attached: 1 image One of the problems with renewable energy is that it will often lead to negative energy prices. Sunny and windy days will produce a superabundance of energy. This is an opportunity to build more storage and even target high-energy use activities for sunny or windy days. #ukpolitics #ukpol #eu #eupol #energy #green #climate https://archive.ph/jHtUb
