Do forest recovery + higher soil organic C elevate production of dissolved inorganic C? No, because cooling soils + lower moisture reduce soil respiration.

On the other hand, drier climate does diminish carbonate weathering + reduce DIC export

As Qinghai Lake climbs the shore, newly drowned edges remobilize phosphorus. Particles and chlorophyll rise, pH and redox shift, microbes reorganize into denser networks. These zones become engines of internal loading, amplifying eutrophication risk in alpine waters. 🌐🧪

Phosphorus release and microbial community alterations in submerged areas of Qinghai Lake

The formation of submerged areas in Qinghai Lake, driven by rising water levels, has resulted in substantial changes in environmental characteristics,…

It takes patience to have a conversation about definitions as a collaboration begins... but it is important!
"Trophic state" in lakes is one of those concepts! It really makes a difference which definition we use... @mishafredmeyer.bsky.social

Are you, like me, wondering about the effects of this compound event on downstream water quality?

Camille Minaudo @caminaudo.bsky.social · Jul 14

In less than a week, the #ElsPorts mountain range near Tortosa, on the west side of the large river Ebre (Catalonia), has endured two extreme events: a 3,300 ha #wildfire, followed by #torrential rainfall (100 mm/day) in the #riucanaletes watershed... All of this is visible from space.

Although we typically consider photosynthetic allochthonous and autochthonous carbon in stream food webs, chemoautotrophic sources (ammonia or sulfur oxidation) can contribute substantially, and incorporate ancient C. Recently accepted to FWS, online at www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

The publisher of my recently accepted paper announces a minimum of 10 weeks to produce the proofs from the final revised version I had sent.
With the current rules of the game (unfortunately), every publication and citation matters to secure a permanent position, it is hard to wait and stay quiet.
