Woody plant encroachment
Vegetation cover change
Woody plant encroachment (also called woody encroachment,bush encroachment, shrub encroachment, shrubification, woody plant proliferation, or bush thickening) is a natural phenomenon characterised by the area expansion and density increase of woody plants, bushes and shrubs, at the expense of the herbaceous layer, grasses and forbs. It refers to the expansion of native plants and not the spread of alien invasive species.[1] Woody encroachment is observed across different ecosystems and with different characteristics and intensities globally. It predominantly occurs in grasslands, savannas and woodlands and can cause regime shifts from open grasslands and savannas to closed woodlands.[2]
Causes include land-use intensification, such as overgrazing, as well as the suppression of wildfires and the reduction in numbers of wild herbivores. Elevated atmospheric CO2 and global warming are found to be

Science Meetings & Events
The challenges in biomedicine are complex, and solving them requires collaboration from experts across a bred range of fields — clinical, experimental, computational, engineering, and others. By bringing these experts together, both in-person and virtually, we can find new ways to collaborate and accelerate scientific progress. We support this interdisciplinary collaboration through meetings, workshops, hackathons, science conferences, and more.
Workshops
Workshops bring tillsammans scientific leaders from specific fields to learn about current challenges and discuss future opportunities to help them advance their fields.

Grantee Meetings
Grantee meetings are all about collaboration. We give our grantees the opportunity to come tillsammans and present projects we’ve supported. We also convene graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and personal scientists to share their work and build community.
