🧬 We’re also collecting eDNA samples to reveal which species are present in the freshwater systems.
These are really useful techniques that allow us to identify priority areas for ecological restoration and for monitMossy EarthPost · 2 months ago

Hey everyone, it’s Yudi here! 🌊 See what we’ve been up to lately in this new vlog on our @MossyEarth-FieldNotes channel.
For a quick overview:
We completed our first annual monitoring survey across six project areas—three restored, three still rubble fields. The data collected included:

Technology can be game-changing for conservation as we’re finding out in our project to save rare endemic cliff plants in Portugal 🌱 🧗♂️
One goal of this project was to use drone mapping to accurately monitor populations of two endangered plants in challenging terrain—and we’ve made great progress. João, now with our Portuguese team at the Wilder Mira hub, joined for his master’s project, which he presented two months ago. In just two hours of flight, the drone captured images to creMossy EarthPost · 2 months ago
🍄 New mycorrhizal fungi trial vlog is live: https://youtu.be/QxQKAAX_LMY
In this @MossyEarth-FieldNotes update from the Southern Uplands of Scotland, we join partners from the Borders Forest Trust and Rhizocore Technologies for baseline monitoring.
We’re tracking the growth and survival of trees planted with mycorrhizal fungi versus those planted without.
Could fungi be the key to successful tree establishment at higher altitudes?

🐒 New update from the Amazon growing Tree Islands: https://youtu.be/bw8r8jUfov8
In this vlog on our@MossyEarth-FieldNotes channel, you’ll see our project aimed at turning abandoned pastures back into healthy rainforest.
This is a really exciting experiment, where we're trying something new in this part of the Amazon that could help kickstart rainforest recovery.
We hope you enjoy following the progress!
Cheers

If you’ve been enjoying our coral restoration videos here, I’d recommend checking out the latest update over on our second channel @MossyEarth-FieldNotes
In this behind the scenes vlog, project manager Yudi shows us the natural settlement of coral and emerging fish populations at one of our oldest sites.
You’ll also see how we’re testing new dome structures and different ways of attaching coral fragments (including earlMossy EarthPost · 3 months ago
Since 2021, we’ve been supporting the effort to boost aspen populations— a keystone species that is largely absent in the UK. To date, we’ve planted 9,450 aspen trees across various woodland sites through our on-the-ground partners at Eadha Enterprises in Scotland.
Here’s a roundup of this year’s planting and an update on our efforts to bolster the limited supply of aspen:

This episode covers our seagrass seeding trials, where the team turns to an unusual bit of kit (a caulking gun) to carry out work in the mudflats.
We also check in on the seagrass we transplanted about seven months ago and uncover a few surprises.
Finally, join our team for a citizen science day we organised with the Moray Ocean Community to search for non-native invasive species. This is particularly relevant to ourMossy EarthPost · 4 months ago
