  1. During the 1990s #ash #dieback, caused by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus, has spread from Asia to Europe where it can cause up to 85% mortality of ash trees during outbreak - review of the disease with focus on the history of the disease and management efforts in Britain and Ireland in the journal "Plant Pathology" by Dáire Carroll and Eric Boa - doi.org/10.1111/ppa.13859

    - "Consequently, this would result in a #dieback of substantial parts of the #rainforest" [1]

    - "After the #dieback of the #rainforest, the soil moisture approaches an #alternative #equilibrium consistent with the reduced #precipitation and #evapotranspiration of the #savanna vegetation"

    - "At the #CriticalPoint, the atmospheric moisture content does not suffice anymore to maintain precipitation and, thus, latent heating rates that could switch the system back into the annual wet season, resulting in a permanent dry season state"

  8. To highlight just one aspect of the many important results: Compared to the ‘no overshoot’ case, a temporary CO2 overshoot results in 10% higher global mean #SeaLevelRise in 2100, that keeps increasing over centuries thereafter.

    Further findings relate to #ocean circulation, #permafrost, #fires, #landuse, #CDR, #coral #dieback, #economic #risks and #damages, lifetime #extreme event exposure (see below) & more.
