🍼Greenpeace alerta: hasta 11.000 partículas de microplástico por ración en comida para bebés de Nestlé y Danone. ✍🏻 @pablorcebo.bsky.social  https://elsal.to/48011

When it comes to the energy transition I'm a glass half full person. I know: plenty of people would say that's terribly naive. They point to the scale of the challenge. They point to vested interests. They point to hard-to-abate sectors. And they're not wrong. But here's what they miss. 🧵

El viaje de las gomillas de plastico, desde el super al estómago de las aves ☹️ en esta egagropila de cigueña identifico toda la variedad de gomillas que observé ayer en la fruteria. No deberia ser tan dificil encontrar soluciones mas sostenibles…

“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

📢El #CSIC convoca 441 becas #JAE_Intro_ICU destinadas a estudiantes de grado y máster interesados en iniciarse en la investigación científica 🗓️El primer plazo está abierto hasta el 10 de marzo ➡️Más información: http://tiny.cc/n9qy001 ➡️Convocatoria: https://sede.csic.gob.es/icu2026

Last Wednesday, the village of Grazalema (southern Spain, 900 m altitude) received 577 mm of rain in one day: the second highest ever recorded in Spain, only behind the deadly downpour in the Valencia region of 29 October 2024. malagaldia.es/2026/02/06/g...

Incredible: ~2500mm (78 inches) in 20 days - 1.5X the normal yearly rainfall in Grazalema, Spain and it’s only February. How? A 5000 mile Tropical Atmospheric River lifted by terrain in Southern Spain. H/T Nahel Belgherze #europe #flood #spain #weather

For the first time, independent monitoring data from #ICOSCities confirms that GHG emissions in Paris have decreased by 25% in the last decade, aligning almost perfectly with the 26% CO₂ reduction reported by Airparif (2015–2022). 👉 Read more in FLUXES: www.icos-cp.eu/fluxes/4/det...

Climate change is reshaping forest growth 🌳🌡️💧 Water and temperature control growth timing. Warmer winters make some species start growing earlier. Hot, dry summers may shorten growing seasons. New paper out @globalchangebio.bsky.social led by a former PhD student @csic.es shorturl.at/5Gn8a

Maybe the land carbon sink is weaker than we thought. Big implications: "A lower-than-expected land carbon sink would also imply that the land biosphere may be closer to transitioning from a net carbon sink to a net source than current models predict" Randerson et al. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

What really limits tree growth—carbon source or sink? 🤔 I argue it’s not either/or but a distal → proximal continuum: from photosynthesis to transport and cell division, drivers act together to shape C allocation & growth 🌱🌍 🔗 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.70516

Our new article is out in @geoderma.bsky.social! Drylands, which cover 40% of Earth’s land, store ~30% of global soil organic carbon. But how do different carbon fractions support ecosystem services under rising aridity? 🏜️ 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.ge...

Ready for a fresh start at @csic.es, in beautiful Granada, to study the impact of climate change on tree growth and the carbon cycle. Keep posted for PhD and postdoc position announcements!

Generalized Stomatal Optimization of Evolutionary Fitness Proxies for Predicting Plant Gas Exchange Under Drought, Heatwaves, and Elevated CO2 📄 https://buff.ly/3CAFh27 #photosynthesis

Successful sampling trip at @barbeau-fr-fon.bsky.social with colleagues from ESE lab as a part of a @snsf-ch.bsky.social project. Incredibly grateful to the tree climbers who took samples up to 20 m high! This will help understand how and why tree growth varies along the trees' vertical axis.

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden

We develop a new, generalized optimality theory of stomatal conductance by incorporating the non-steady-state physics of water, carbon, and heat within a plant into an effectively instantaneous solution. Congrats Aaron Potkay!! doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

For profit publishing is vamperizing academic research. Gold open access is just displacing the problem.

Previous research showed tree growth to be temporally decoupled from GPP, but what about biomass? Here we find that the fraction of GPP allocated each year to woody biomass widely varies across sites and years, notably as a function of climate. Shout out to Steve Kannenberg for leading this work!
