Do you work in the UK food or #agriculture sector? We're interested hearing your perceptions of #climate change adaptation in the UK food system in order to build resilience to weather and climate extremes. Complete our short survey 👇 forms.office.com/e/FTJxhT0rk…
As part of the @MetOffice_Sci Academic Partnership, with @UKRI_News @DefraGovUK and @foodgov we are conducting a survey on Climate Adaptation in the UK Food System - please share and take part - it should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Thanks! forms.office.com/e/FTJxhT0rk…

The recovery/phenotyping process of #Puccinia graminis aecidiospores from #Berberis leaves on a set of wild grasses & cultivated cereals has just started @INRAE_Bioger 🤗. This aims to provide info on the potential primary host (and f. sp.) and collect isolates in uredinial form.
A microscopic examination of the aecia sampled this week from the #Berberis plants indicates that all - even the severely affected plant below 🫡 - yield small aeciospores with a thickened wall at their apex, a characteristic feature of #Puccinia graminis.

Not very seasonal, but I finally got round to making a map of UK train stations + walkable campsites. Shows campsites that are <3km from stations (i.e. basically next door), and 10-20km away (i.e. very roughly a day's walk). Useful? felt.com/map/Rail-Hike-Camp-…

Finally! The northeast passage through the Arctic Ocean, along the Siberian coast, has finally frozen shut after a record 112 days. Open seaways in the Arctic Ocean used to be rare, with some years never opening at all, and now open water lasts for months.
