Do you have new stoichiometric research to share? If so, consider submitting an abstract to our special session SS027. Abstract deadline is Nov 24 (yes, under a week!). Can't wait to see people in Montreal, to spill the tea on all things ratios. @helenaklip.bsky.social #ASLOSIL26

The glaciers of the Sierra Nevada have probably existed since the last Ice Age more than 11,000 years ago. The remnants of these glaciers are expected to disappear in the coming decades as temperatures continue to rise. www.latimes.com/environment/...

This is depressing. In my lectures on Freshwater Security @uclgeography.bsky.social, I used to teach about what should be learned about the Aral Sea, as water levels in lake Lake Urmia declined. To see another salt lake disappear is awful for impact on biodiveristy and human livlihoods. #geosky

Back from backcountry sampling of Gunsight Lake in Glacier NP to check it two years after fish removal. Full of Daphnia ! @umflbs.bsky.social

The Mazama newt is found in only one place in the world: Crater Lake. But this tiny amphibian is disappearing, due to invasive crayfish taking over its habitat. We’ve teamed up with the National Park Service and High Desert Museum to give this rare newt-y cutie a fighting chance.

Nice new work out in Ecology Letters by Ozersky and colleagues, showing that high latitude lakes will likely feel the greatest impacts of warming winters. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #winter #limnology

As winters warm, small lakes at high latitudes are suffocating. In a recent @pnas.org commentary, #NASmember James Elser and Helena C. L. Klip explain how reduced ice is cutting off oxygen supply, threatening aquatic life in shallow lakes. Read more: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

For decades, the biomedical industry has relied on a compound in horseshoe crab blood to protect medical equipment from contamination, saving untold human lives. But conservationists say modern medicine’s dependence on this bloodletting is upending a globe-spanning ecosystem.

In a synthesis of over 3000 population trends in the Wadden Sea, we show a substantial reorganization of biodiversity with over 38% of populations undergoing significant change (i.e., increases or decreases), identify winners and losers and critical time points of change! dx.doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

I still have my (many) reservations about ocean alkalinity enhancement. But I'm very happy to see this sort of study about it, looking at how it may affect plankton. Also, the title is brilliant. 🧪🌊 Link: aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The ‘king of poisons’ is building up in rice. Rice feeds more than half of the world’s population. Climate change is loading the beloved grain with arsenic, creating a “scary” health burden. grist.org/food-and-agr... #Food #Rice #Thailand #Vietnam #Cambodia #Health #Poison

Our overview of the impressive paper by Jensen et al in PNAS about under-ice oxygen levels is out. "Small lakes are suffocating as winters warm" www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We have a new paper that is the result of a working group on nature-based climate solutions using forests. We identify challenges in quantifying net cooling, durability, additionality, and leakage and provide solutions and research needs for each of the challenges. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As the planet warms, heatwaves don’t just increase — they increase in duration faster with each degree rise in temperature. Something to look forward to. 🥵

Climate change hits fast and erratic - through extremes, not slow trends. In our new TREE paper (led by @lysoifer.bsky.social), we discuss what's needed for us to deal with the resulting unpredictable range shifts. Summary: the3dlab.org/2025/07/20/e... Paper: sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Meng et al. develop a theoretical approach and show that empirical diversity–stability relationships in grasslands are best explained by species-specific dynamics rather than by interspecific interactions www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧪

A quarter of Earth and more than 50% of its population are affected by water scarcity each year. Considering only surface and groundwater can underestimate the problem, as insufficient soil moisture and water quality are also key factors. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Abatzoglou (@climate-guy) et al show that extreme #fire years in global #forests align with rare fire #weather extremes. #ClimateChange has made such extremes 88-152% more probable, highlighting the need for urgent action for #adaptation and #mitigation of fire impacts www.nature.com/articles/s41...

By combining ecophysiological, satellite, and ‪‬eddy covariance data we show how our @icos-ri.eu forest ecosystem changes in function and structure following hot-drought-induced tree mortality. New article by @simonhaber.bsky.social as part of @ecosense-sfb-1537.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/plb....

Harmful “forever chemicals” flow from wastewater treatment plants into surface water across the U.S., according to a new report by the Waterkeeper Alliance.

Hundreds of monkeys can now safely cross roads in Alta Floresta, a city in the southern Brazilian Amazon. Seven canopy bridges have reconnected rainforest fragments that were separated by urban roads.

Usually, it's rather hard to generate urea abiotically, but these experiments shows how it can from in tiny water droplets (like sea spray), which can change our view of origin of life (and precursor molecules), and maybe also how we produce fertilizers. 🧪 Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It's well known that cities produce heat islands that affect plant growth, but artificial light also can extend the growing season substantially. The transition to LED bulbs may have further enhanced the effect. 🧪🌱
