  7. Yao Fang et al. investigated the main and interactive effects of ozone and #ClimateFactors (CO2, temperature, drought, and N deposition) on plant net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, biomass, and its allocation using a meta-analysis.

  12. CW: Dryer weather decreases soil methane emissions (yay!)

    @rdnielsen

    Just a note because I had misunderstood it first:

    "Our analysis shows an increase in CH4-uptake of 3% *per year* on average."

    Finally, not so bad news! I mean, it still shows that ecosystems are massively affected by climate change, but since until now almost all feedbacks loops we discovered were positive (=self-enhancing, like thawing permafrost reinforcing climate change).

    Before opening a bottle of champagne (or a cup of teas, whatever you like): Not sure how this decrease in soil methane emissions stands in comparison with stuff like reduced plant growth because of changing weather and changes in soil organic matter dynamics (i. e. increased mineralization).

    Has anybody numbers/estimates at hand for comparison?

    PD: we still need #degrowth and a transition to #agroecology

  24. I am letting the students in my Cultures of the Environment seminar play "They are Hollows of Desolation" by Geordie Murphy gmurphy.itch.io/hollows The broader idea is to use #RPG / #boardgames as discussion starters about #environing #worldbuilding #simulation #crisis #disaster #globalchange and both #games and #environment as cultural objects. Let's see how it works out.

  27. This also suggests that artificial skyglow (a form of light pollution) is almost certainly a source of evolutionary pressure.

    If you care about #Biodiversity, if you care about #GlobalChange, or if you care about #Sustainability, you should care about #LightPollution.

    It's the stupidest form of #pollution, and the easiest to fix.
