Some 6 years after this paper was conceived, many online workshops, long discussions and a really community effort right to the end, it is now out in @newphyt.bsky.social Of course this talks the talk, but there is a road still to walk :-)

Only a pre-print for now, but after 4 years of hard work I couldn't resist sharing this!

Protected areas safeguard old-growth forests against human land use, but not against the impacts of anthropogenic climate change. Here we show that a climate-mediated increase in disturbances could cause a decline in old-growth forests in a national park in C Europe. doi.org/10.1088/1748...

Does climate play a role in tree longevity?

A paleo study in Georgia suggests that might be a possibility: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Why has woody plant density been increasing in dryland ecosystems? In a new paper in @pnas.org we show that increasing tree density in pinyon-juniper woodlands could largely be a result of long-term population growth, rather than recent anthropogenic effects. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The most comprehensive GHG budget for North America to date, covering CO2, CH4, N2O.

Led by Ben Poulter, it reconciles the differences between the National GHG Inventories, atmospheric inversions, and estimates from modeling individual fluxes.

Our colleagues measure thousands of tropical plots to discover species, measure carbon, and get the truth about climate change impacts.

Data don't come easy...

Central Brazil October 2023: It's very hot and the bees are swarming. Thank you Edmar Almeida de Oliveira, Beatriz Marimon and colleagues!
