💡 Did you know that 99% of our calories come from the soil? Whether directly from plants or indirectly through animals that feed on plants, we would not exist without calories originating from the soil. 🥪 As one of our partners, Harper Adams University is bringing attention to this crucial fact. In #SOB4ES, they lead the work package aimed at developing a harmonised and cost-effective framework for better ecosystem assessment and land management through the integration of soil biodiversity.

#Freshwater ecosystems are in crisis! By leveraging eDNA analysis, we can efficiently monitor and protect #Biodiversity without disrupting habitats. The recent study from the River Conwy demonstrates eDNA’s potential to pinpoint species’ locations and address local biodiversity declines. Embracing eDNA alongside traditional methods can revolutionize #Conservation efforts, ensuring healthier freshwater #Ecosystems for future generations. MoEF&CC Read more : https://lnkd.in/gFYtgwBx

In our latest blog, Richard Gowing explores the new kid on the habitat surveyor block, Other Neutral Grassland – a type of grassland habitat that can be used in developments as part of Biodiversity Net Gain and how we can use it best. Read the blog👉https://lnkd.in/eWBD8tSt

'Other Neutral Grassland' doesn't have to be boring 😴 Love this blog from Richard Gowing. It distills a lot of the conversations we've had over the past couple of years at Environment Bank. We are going to end up with large amounts of 'other neutral grassland' on our BNG habitat bank sites, but what that looks like is going to vary dramatically from site to site. From shallow wet scrapes to created banks 🦗 these are all additional extras not immediately obvious on a 2d map. I also agree completely on the condition assessment needing a rethink to look beyond botanical indicators. 🌾🌼 We are actually aiming for areas of 'poor' condition grassland on some sites that use truer rewilding approaches so we dont have to pull thistles and docks (which are great for invertebrates as the blog says). The mosaic point is a great one too, could a mosaic multiplier work in future? 🤔

Wetlands support an incredible diversity of life on our planet and are biodiversity hotspots, providing habitat for countless species and supporting our ecosystems. Here's how we safeguard them and take action #ForNature: https://lnkd.in/emb6QXYX
