Really proud of this paper coming out today in science, of which the last author is one of my colleagues. He had started thinking about this 15 years ago : one could suppose that the warming climate could lengthen the growing season for trees, and therefore increase their carbon uptake. The colleagues were however able to show that the warming climate has a negative impact on the growth rate of trees, which largely offsets the benefit of longer growing season on future forest carbon storage.

Big Lonely Doug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world. Found along the Pacific Circle Route, between #PortRenfrew & Lake #Cowichan - in the Gordon River valley range. It's surrounded by clearcuts. You can't miss seeing it because it stands out, amongst the ecocide.

My #PhotoArt tribute to #BigLonelyDoug - one of the biggest #DouglasFir #trees in the world.
Learn more about this lonely #OldGrowth tree:
"It has the third highest tree score and third widest diameter of any known Douglas-fir in Canada, following the Red Creek Fir in the nearby San Juan Valley and the Bonin Giant in the Coquitlam River watershed in British Columbia's Lower Mainland"

Gnarly #OldGrowth #GarryOak tree.
I see a wise face on this ancient, majestic garry oak 🙂#AncientTree #ElderTree #Wsanec #Saanich #VancouverIsland #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #VanIsle #VictoriaBC #YYJ #PNW #TreeLovers #TreeHugger #Trees #Nature #SaveOldGrowth #CarbonSink

Just finished skim reading this study on urban lawns and grasslands soil carbon sequestration. It is an important meta-analysis contributing to addressing urban climate emissions.
"High soil carbon sequestration rates persist several decades in turfgrass systems: A meta-analysis." (OpenAccess)
I did a fair amount of reading on Soil Organic Carbon from turf grasses when I researched my literature review on Synthetic Turf in 2021, and this article pulls a lot of information from numerous studies together..
