🌲💧 Comparing tree rings and flux towers, this study shows Mediterranean pines differ in water use and C uptake

⚠️ Why it matters: unpredictable emissions could throw off air quality 🌫️ and climate models 🌎, affecting how ecosystems help—or hurt—our fight against climate change.

🌡️+💧 Stress from drought, changing moisture, and other factors are reshaping the temperature sensitivity of these emissions. Basically: emissions no longer follow the old “temperature rules.”

🌿 Plants emit sesquiterpenes (BVOCs) that shape our atmosphere 🌬️☁️. New study shows climate change is changing how temperature controls these emissions

This matters: ecosystems may soak up less CO₂ than we hoped, leaving more in the air to fuel climate change. Nature’s carbon “safety net” is weaker than expected. #ClimateChange #CarbonCycle

Earlier growth doesn’t equal more carbon storage. Cooler temps + drier soils mean daily carbon uptake actually drops by ~30% in dry regions.
