New perspective paper in @ConLetters: For the sake of resilience and multifunctionality, let's diversify planted forests! #TreeDivNet

Group photo from the #TreeDivNet annual meeting 2019. TreeDivNet provides a unique platform for research on the relation between tree species diversity and ecosystem functioning in major forest types around the world.

First lab outing in more than a year! We went to visit Climate Match #TreeDivNet experiment in Kent to plan some field work for this summer. Many thanks to Nadia Barsoum for showing us around!

6 years ago, this was a conventional #PalmOil monoculture. We established a tree diversity experiment #EFForTS_BEE by planting multiple native tree species. Today, our experimental plots look like small forests ! @BioGeoMacro @uniGoettingen @efforts_crc990 #treedivnet

I am happy to announce that registrations for the #TropiBEF workshop are open. You can register online & find the full program at our website: #restoration #tropical #ecology #biodiversity #ecosystem #functional #treedivnet.Stay tuned and join us!(1/n)

Fence going up for our new #TreeDivNet experiment to come in the boreal forest of Alberta exploring mixtures and climate change adaptation. Monitoring to be facilitated by drone-based remote sensing and in-plot sensors. @UofAALES Funded by @InnovationCA.

We are gearing up for our joint workshop on the management of mixed and pure planted forests with @FAOForestry & IPC & #TreeDivNet in Rome! 🌳🌲. Looking forward to great discussions with experts from near and far during the next two days! #mixedforestsworkshop

Tree diversity reduces variability in sapling survival under drought: a new #TreeDivNet synthesis paper led by @BlondeelHaben is out in @JEcology

Today's office is looking rather nice and tasty ecosystem services are within reach 🌳🍃🍒😋#TreeDivNet #fieldwork

Sampling branches for P50 and huber value measurements at FORBIO #Treedivnet with @RenaudDecarsin to better understand tree diversity effects on drought resistance. Half way in the MixForChange project! @NMartin_StPaul @HCochard @torresruizjm @SDelzon @UCLouvain_be @ResearchUGent

Our new review led by @ForNaLab and summarizing results from #TreeDivNet forest diversity experiments on effects of species mixing on tree performance is out now in Current Forestry Reports .Link to paper: Read only:

I'm happy to announce that our field site in ORPHEE (TreeDivNet) is now equipped with 54 new @TOMSTloggers to measure microclimate. The objective is to assess the effects of tree species (& mixture) on soil T° and humidity (& if there is still a residual effect after irrigation)

🗞️I just submitted my PhD thesis🗞️🎉. The role of tree diversity for #forest productivity and stability under #drought. A huge thanks to all co-authors and contributors!. Particularly to Christian Wirth @TreeDi1 @agwirthweigelt @idiv @UniLeipzig #TreeDivNet . If interested:)👇

Second week in Finland using TLS to scan plots of Satakunta, the oldest tree biodiversity-ecosystem functioning experiment #TreeDivNet

And the mixed forest workshop is on! #fao #treedivnet @MixForChangeTDN 2 days of results and perspectives on planted forests ! #mixedforestworkshop

Surprised by early snow and -15°C in Sault Ste. Marie, but we had a successful week of field work nonetheless! Big thanks to Bill Parker, Benoit Gendreau-Berthiaume from @ISFORT_UQO, and Clémentine Pernot for all of their help #PhD #TreeDivNet

A million and more trees for science #TreeDivNet #treediversity #plantations #fieldexperiments #bef #biodiversity

Interesting discussions and results presented at the annual TreeDivNet meeting, including a visit to the IDENT Montreal site #treedivnet .
