New study by @saocousins.bsky.social in @natecoevo.nature.com! 📣

Errors in global grassland maps are skewing carbon sink estimates. By correcting misclassification using field-validated data, global grassland soil C rises to 155 Pg — major implications for ecosystem accounting & policy. 👇

2025 blev tredje varmaste året som uppmätts. Uppvärmningen har gått betydligt fortare än man trott för 10 år sedan.
– Det är inte förvånande att temperaturen fortsätter att stiga så länge utsläppen fortsätter, säger klimatforskaren Frida Bender på @bolincentre.bsky.social
