TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Extra CO2 stimulates #photosynthesis of trees and reduces water losses through transpiration. But does that stimulate growth of #tree stems? Our paper today in NatClimateChange led by Quan Zhang uses theory & data to show that strong growth stimulation is unlikely.🌎🌐🍁

Increased efficiency of water use does not stimulate tree productivity - Nature Climate Change
The authors theoretically delineate the maximal increases in tree growth that can be expected from increases in plant intrinsic water-use efficiency, which increases with rising CO2. They highlight en...

Descubren cuatro nuevas especies de plantas en el Parque Nacional Yanachaga Chemillén 🇵🇪
El descubrimiento de estas plantas, que no existen en ningún otro lugar del planeta, resalta el valor de los últimos refugios biológicos en los Andes.

Todos tenemos raíces profundas.
Este fascinante artículo repasa el trabajo de RAINFOR en Venezuela y conecta 200 años de historia de exploradores del río Negro y el Amazonas, entre ellos von Humboldt, Bonpland, Spruce, Wallace, Medina y Rafael Herrera Fernández.
