New paper! 🌳 iWUE in a beech forest shows no big differences across silvicultural treatments, but rises ~20% by 2050 under climate change. At this site, climate—not management—drives future iWUE. doi.org/10.1007/s116...

Great work @ale-collalti.bsky.social !

New study looks at the effects of #forestation on #temperature in Europe using #climate model experiments, showing that conversion from coniferous to broadleaved trees in forested areas can provide #cooling for #summer hot extremes. @ethz.ch www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌲 Forests breathe, grow, and mitigate climate change! 🌍 First-ever national-scale study using NFI plots in Italy with 3D-CMCC-FEM shows how forests manage carbon and respond to climate change. Essential insights for policymakers & forest managers. 📖 Read more: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In the past week, as an editor, I contacted over 60 potential reviewers (many of them are reading this post right now) for just two manuscripts, and only 4 agreed to review (4 out of more than 60!).

🌍 Study the past to understand future trajectories! A new Nature Geoscience study (PIK Potsdam, co-auth. Daniela Dalmonech from For.Mod.Lab) shows how a bipolar convection seesaw may recur if the AMOC weakens under climate change. 🌡️🌊 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Inferring carbon use efficiency (CUE) from eddy covariance observations, Luo et al. show that CUE of deciduous forests is typically 15% higher than that of evergreen forests www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🆕 Exciting news: the model just got a major upgrade in accessibility! Say hello to R3DFEM—a new open-source R package that makes this powerful forest simulator much easier to use: link.springer.com/article/10.1... @ale-collalti.bsky.social , @ddalmo.bsky.social

🌍🌱 How Efficient Are Plants at Using Carbon? 🌱🌍 A major new study in @natecoevo.nature.com reveals how well plants across the globe convert CO₂ into biomass—a key to understanding Earth’s carbon balance. 🗨️ “It’s not just how much CO₂ plants absorb—it’s how much they keep” @xiangzluo.bsky.social

We reviewed @scienceofthetotalenvironment fire emissions in the Mediterranean region, where “top-down” methods have not yet been implemented.

In a recent study published in @environmentalpollution journal, we found that relevant spatial differences in the AOT40 and PODy are shown in O3 risk assessments. Check out at: doi.org/10.1016/j.en... Get rights and content

Just found this nice New Phytologist commentary on Zachary Robbins (who is probably too busy being productive to be on Bluesky) FATES-HYDRO tropical forest mortality paper doi.org/10.1111/nph....

Just came out : The key role of forest disturbance in reconciling estimates of the northern carbon sink. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

I made a list (or 'starter pack') of Land Surface Modelers, because that's the kind of thing one does on #bluesky. Please tell your friends and also (v. important) TELL ME if you want to be added. We need more people here! go.bsky.app/Mw4tJ3t
