"Cascading transition risks towards degraded ecosystems in the #Amazon biome[:] The large majority of the simulated transitions is caused by spatial knock-on effects from increasing drought intensities, leading to long-ranging and self-propelling cascades on scales of hundreds to thousands of kilometres."

Wood harvesting and forest management are depleting carbon storage. Old-growth forests in Sweden store ~72% more carbon than the industrial tree plantations that are rapidly replacing them, with soil accounting for most of the difference.
The top meter of soils in lowland primary forests contained roughly 64% of total C on average.

Opinions please on a planning thing, in England.
I met a likeable entrepreneur* today, and disappointed him. Am I now a stupid Nimby?
The thing is about change of use for a field on the edge of a village in the Lake District.
Changing use from amenity woodland (aka forestry) to doggy day care (aka business) with a new building. I see that as a slippery slope to other development. Am I wrong??
(*With a likeable spaniel.)

Human-driven #landUseChange is likely the primary cause of this #biodiversity loss on Mount Kilimanjaro’s lower slopes -

"The overall Eastern European carbon sink shows a declining trend [due to] a saturation effect of the regrowth in abandoned former agricultural areas, combined with an increase in wood harvest, particularly in European Russia, as well as more frequent climate-induced forest disturbances such as droughts."

In 2015, @rahmstorf and Thornalley in 2018 did #AMOC reconstructions of over 1ky from different proxies. And both start the rapid decline 1850. #Thornalley 's study was about warmwater #ocean creatures moving up to Iceland and some other stuff in the Labrador Sea. Don't recall what Rahmstorf's proxies were. But his data before 1800 is matches tree ring widths from Sweden and UK. Maybe those were his proxies, dunno.
Thornalley's paper is open access and Ext Fig 7 shows the early onset of the rapid slowdown https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0007-4/figures/7You can download and plot both from this repository of Caesar's 2021 paper https://github.com/ncahill89/AMOC-Analysis
Just wanted to say, the Caribbean isn't the only "one location" where warming kicked in due to CO2 from #LandUseChange alone before fossil fuels contributed to #CO2 growth.
LandUseChange in the 1610-event and in the WW2-event due to population decline in the Americas, and Europe and China respectively, made AMOC hickup bigly, I think. -
The topic of biomass is complex, so it's easy to bafflegab a green screen for #climate and #ecosystem damaging practices. #LandUseChange, especially destruction of intact forest ecosystems, is one of those damaging practices.
#Drax has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to do mislead about the impacts of their operations . Please sign the petition on the link below; regulation is the only way to change their predatory and duplicitous behavior.

fascinating - and ignoring everything we (should) have learned about #LandUseChange, #agriculture, #water, #NitrogenPollution, #ecosystems, #HANPP and how this relates to #ClimateChange, #insectapocalypse, #biodiversity, #OceanDeadZone . Oh yes, and the cost of food as food ag competes with fuel ag for product. But sure, let's call it #Sustainable. That's why we have #BrandMarketing specialists.
