To understand how the Arctic is responding as the climate warms rapidly, we need tech to collect data across scales - using boots on the ground, drones and satellites.
What happens when your fieldwork is off because of a global pandemic? You adapt your plans. In our latest Team Shrub blog post, we share the story of our remote field season and fill you in on our research findings so far.
“The overall Arctic greening signal provided by #satellites is unmistakable, but are plants growing bigger? Are different plants encroaching? Are changes homogeneous?” With drones, we're finding out the answers. Check out the paper in Environmental Research Letters and article in the EOS magazine from the @americangeophysicalunion.
Science is always a journey. And the publication of a paper is a pinnacle of one part of that scientific journey for us as scientists. We found that for plants and animals, biodiversity change is amplified by forest loss at sites across the planet. Hopefully our findings will stimulate further research, improve projections of the impacts of global change on biodiversity and contribute to conservation efforts. So in a way the publishing of this paper is also the beginning of a larger journey for the findings themselves.
