📡 Scientists developed MIPA a new way to measure atmosph's boundary layer height using lidar data By turning readings into 2D images, it tracks atmosph changes more accurately across sensors & wavelengths Yiming Qu @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat 📖https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/17/16/2758

New study shows inland waters worldwide are flooded with microplastics — especially in Asia, Europe & the US. Urgent action needed. 🌍💧 #Microplastics #pollutionfreepunjab Xia Jin @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Short press release based on the paper led by Yang Song: Recent Water Constraints Mediate the Dominance of Climate and Atmospheric CO2 on Vegetation Growth Across China @jpreixach.bsky.social @creaf.cat @csic.es @iec globalecology.creaf.cat?p=10054

🌿 Plants have their own elemental “fingerprints”—in both leaves and roots! A global study shows these biogeochemical patterns are deeply rooted in evolution. #PlantScience #Ecology Chao Wang @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

🌍 Nitrogen boosts plant growth—but only when soil pH is right! 🧪 This global study shows Mg and Ca are the hidden keys to unlocking biomass gains. #SoilScience #PlantGrowth #NewPhytologist Chonghua Xu @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In this new paper authors assess the effect of thinning on tree mortality, the ultimate indicator of tree resistance to soil water deficit induced by drought, with a focus on dominant trees. Julius Willig @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec annforsci.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

This new study provides a global roadmap for achieving energy systems with net-zero CO2 emissions. Authors present here a stratetegy to minimize the levelized cost of electricity. Don't miss it! Yijing Wang @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec.cat rdcu.be/eb9wj

To start the week, reading suggestion: this new paper studies the effects of altered precipitation regimes on litter decomposition across humid and arid biomes. Qiqian Wu @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec www.the-innovation.org/article/doi/...

New study investigates soil C cycling driven by local environ gradients into mangroves in diff climatic zones According to it sea level rise may cause great impact on mangrove SOC More information at www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Xiaolei Yin @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec

In this new paper, authors tested the the biogeochemical niche (BN) hypothesis in different organs from plants. Their results indicate different differents patterns in leaves and roots. Chao Wang @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Interisting study where authors compared model predictions using either local or database-derived trait values, across different levels of spp richness and between different taxonomic levels. Jelyn Gerkema @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

In this new paper authors helps us clarify driving mechanisms of SOC accumulation in arid mountain ecosystems. Good reading for a rainy weekend. Guangxing Zhao @jpreixach.bsky.social @csic.es @creaf.cat @iec www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
