Hi. Today in “One day, one paper”, Mixed plantations strengthen soil biodiversity and multifunctionality, with subsoil rare taxa and fungi emerging as pivotal drivers of nutrient cycling, resilience, and multidimensional ecosystem functions, challenging the traditional topsoil-centric perspective 🌎

China’s massive tree‑planting has made the country greener—but also drier in many regions, while the Tibetan Plateau gets wetter, as new forests use huge amounts of water. Policymakers now have to balance climate gains with hidden water trade‑offs. #China #Climate #Reforestation #WaterSecurity

The current level of anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere is insane, we are past the 2023/2024 anomalies and the +1C vs 1991/2020 Note specially the anomalies from 30N to 80N: It's brutal and there is not a bit of hype here. It is what it is: insane Maps kudos:Tropicaltibit & Ryan Maue

In the wake of the last decade's devastating wildfires, there's an urgent effort underway to grow our forests back. The problem? We don't have nearly enough tree seedlings. @moiradonovan.bsky.social looks into what's being done: ambrook.com/offrange/env...

UN data shows that in the US/Canada/Europe, about 8% of the population suffers moderate or severe food insecurity. That's 95 million people. Even in the richest countries in the world, capitalism fails to deliver something as basic as secure access to food.

How can #FoodProcessing genuinely contribute to a healthier world? 🌱🌎 Congrats to our member Patrick Rühs & his team at @ethz.ch for their publication in @nature.com Food, "Unrefined plant raw materials are key to nutritious food" 👏 Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s43... #FoodInnovation

All 197 United Nations member countries were expected to submit their updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), detailing their plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, by February this year. However, only 25 countries, representing ~20% of global emissions, have done so.
