Excited to share our new paper led by Tsinghua Uni ECR Zhang Han: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/.... New model based on eco-evolutionary optimality explains observed seasonal and spatial trends in stem respiration, implies stem CO2 efflux down by >25% by 2100, reducing land carbon emissions.

New paper from our group! Winkler & Sierra propose a new path forward to Impulse Response Functions (IRFs) for Earth system modeling—capturing time- and state-dependencies critical for understanding carbon–climate feedbacks. 🌍🌀 Read more in Geophysical Research Letters: tinyurl.com/bdff3b6y

Non-living carbon pools are key in carbon storage! ESA Climate Change Initiative's RECCAP study shows soil, sediments, and wetlands as major sinks, challenging the belief in forests' dominance. These findings offer crucial insights for future climate modelling. 🌿💧 climate.esa.int/en/news-even...

How does photosynthesis respond to changing temperatures? In the paper led by Pascal Schneider, we show that the thermal acclimation of photosynthesis can be modelled without making assumptions about plant functional types - ready for adoption in ESMs agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

US grass-fed beef is as carbon intensive as industrial beef, even after correcting for soil sequestration from rangeland grazing. Operational emissions of grass-fed beef are 3–43 times higher than pork, poultry, cheese, milk, or plants. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Terrestrial carbon sinks have increased by 30% over the last decade, with most carbon stored in soil and water rather than forests, highlighting the need to reassess carbon distribution models. doi.org/g887dg
