Amazing work by the Southwest Fire Science Consortium on their new science synthesis, Fire in the Sonoran Desert. Funded by the Arizona Wildfire Initiative, this important synthesis asks questions such as, "What is the ecological trajectory of the Sonoran Desert? What should we be managing for?" They summarize the history and trends of fire in the Sonoran Desert and discuss future conservation strategies. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gAkSH6nm #SonoranDesert #SWFSC #ScienceSynthesis

In the largest award for Long Island Sound research in the history of the collaboration between the Connecticut and New York Sea Grant programs and the EPA’s Long Island Sound Study, 13 projects have been selected that will improve understanding of factors impacting several fish species, shellfish, water quality and restoration of the estuary’s salt marshes. The awards will provide scientists at five institutions in Connecticut and New York with $6.7 million in research funding, leveraging an additional $3.5 million in matched dollars. The one- to two-year projects will begin in January. The research initiative is designed to support science-based management of the Sound and its resources, and the implementation of the Long Island Sound Study’s Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan for the waterway.

Check out our recent work on soil ecoacoustics. This 'soil stethoscope' is showing great promise to help find and fix degraded soil, this time in the Adelaide Hills. 📖 Summary in The Conversation --> https://lnkd.in/gG6aeD2Q 🧭 Full details in the the Journal of Applied Ecology --> https://lnkd.in/gjNSMZb3
Barely audible to human ears, healthy soils produce sounds in many forms – a bit like an underground rave concert. Special recordings made by Flinders University ecologists, Associate Professor Martin Breed and Dr Jake M. Robinson, show this chaotic mixture of soundscapes can be a measure of the diversity of tiny living animals in the soil, which create sounds as they move and interact with their environment. With 75% of the world’s soils degraded, the future of the teeming community of living species that live underground face a dire future without restoration. Our new field of research aims to investigate the vast, teeming hidden ecosystems where almost 60% of the Earth’s species live.

📚 What we're reading: "Why Appalachia Flooded So Severely from Helene’s Remnants" by Meghan Bartels in Scientific American. ➡️ Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/gar-dUgj A highlight: "Despite the known risk of these storms reaching Appalachia, scientists don’t know a whole lot about how they behave once they get to mountains. For example, high-elevation terrain often forces storm systems to drop more rain on the mountains’ windward side but scientists aren’t sure whether that phenomenon might play a role in cases like Helene’s Appalachian deluge." #EarthScienceData is critical for understanding our landscapes and making informed decisions. Making those resources open and coherent is also important as communities continue to recover -- including the Explore Asheville, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration NCEI Office, and western NC people who graciously hosted us this summer.
