How Scary Are Ghost Forests?
To combat climate change, researchers argue that inundated forests could be turned into marshland carbon sinks.

Despite the outcry, Duke University still plans to close its huge herbarium, because it doesn't want to spend $25 million to repair the collection's building.
Duke's endowment was $11.6 billion as of 2022; it is also the primary beneficiary (32%) of the independent $3.69 billion Duke Endowment.

One herbarium’s thorny future: Duke to close century-old 'gem' of biodiversity research
Duke’s collection of more than 800,000 specimens of fungi, plants and algae makes the herbarium one of the largest in the country. The move to close it has drawn criticism from faculty and researchers...

Not good news for #CoastalWetlands
This white paper is the result of a grass roots efroots effort to synthesize surface elevation table measurements in NC. The majority of NC coastal wetlands are not keeping up with sea level rise

#UrbanWetlands are #BiodiversityHotspots that need to be protected & stewarded w/ thoughtful care. We must do better for the collective good. We need stricter protections for the voiceless who have little chance combating large land altering human machinery.

2023 was the hottest year on record. Around the world, it was marked by record wildfires, hot-tub temperature ocean waters, torrential downpours, and non-stop heatwaves. The US had one billion+ dollar weather extreme every 1.8 weeks.
