Tree islands help restore biodiversity in oil palm plantations https://t.co/zWVOCc5jkz

Planting diverse "tree islands" within oil palm plantations can accelerate biodiversity recovery in these regions, researchers report in a new Science study based in Indonesia. https://t.co/qWnM3lsUp7

#Palmöl nachhaltiger anbauen: Bauminseln lassen in Ölpalmen-Monokulturen die einheimische #Artenvielfalt wiederaufleben. 🌳 Das zeigt ein internationales Forschungsteam unter Leitung unserer Uni: https://t.co/fUIxcPaAOD, https://t.co/EPQXDgLFHS @paternogb @BioGeoKreft

This work was done in a great international collaboration involving the University of Göttingen, @JambiUniversity and @ipbofficial. You can read it here with the open access link to the paper:

Active restoration increases tree species richness and recruitment of large-seeded taxa after 16–18 years:

Great effort to test the effect of Tree Islands on regenerating nature in oil palm monocultures. After 6 years of establishment, almost 2800 woody plant recruits were identified—amazing teamwork led by @paternogb and fab input from @NathalyR_GR @ClaraZemp @fabi_sho @BioGeoKreft..

The EFForTS-BEE experiment is a collaboration between the University of Göttingen @uniGoettingen, IPB University and Jambi University in Indonesia. Many thanks to @dfg_public for funding this research and long-term experiments! Collaborative Research Centre 990: @efforts_crc990

Huge thanks to the amazing team of co-authors: @fabi_sho @NathalyR_GR @ClaraZemp, @BioGeoKreft Dirk Hölscher, Aiza F. Cantillo @caris_moura Oliver Gailing J. Ballauff, Andrea Polle, Michael Schlund, Stefan Erasmi, @E_dris Watit Khokthong, Leti Sundawati Bambang Irawan

Despite these promising results, biodiversity in restored areas remains much lower than in primary forests, highlighting the need to protect and conserve every remaining patch of forest for its irreplaceable conservation value.
