  1. 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.

  6. RE: scicomm.xyz/@mustapipa/1171372

    If economics can be said to speak, it needs to shout LOUDLY about proper green regeneration (rather than plant-a-tree make-work): “Scientists found that natural #forest regeneration delivered substantial carbon and #biodiversity benefits and could be up to 96% cheaper than traditional tree-planting programs.” 🌳🪾🌲🌴🎄

    Fabulous news - thanks so much for sharing! 😀🙏🏻

    "Targets should acknowledge the need for Geological Net Zero, meaning one tonne of CO₂ permanenty restored to the solid Earth from every tonne still generated from fossil sources."
    "By adding to cumulative emissions, any entity, country or corporation adds to the total passive carbon sink that needs protection for the foreseeable future."

  16. "Earth’s forests reached a tipping point. They had grown dense, lush canopies at the start of one of Earth’s most intense episodes of greenhouse warming. But those canopies began to thin."
    "The structure of a forest – and importantly its canopy – controls the amount of light that reaches the forest floor, the temperature, water habitat and amount of carbon the forest can store, making it one of the clearest indicators of ecosystem function."
    "Forest canopies opened, exposing the ground to more sunlight and altering the movement of water through the landscape."
    "As temperatures climbed, heat and drought overwhelmed the benefits of higher carbon dioxide levels. The canopy rapidly thinned as trees died, and it remained much thinner for over 100,000 years."
    "Ancient soils gave way to coarser river deposits".
