Ok, if yesterday's excellent paper in Nature wasn't enough for Jesus Aguirre, today he has a new worrying but significant study out in Science where we show that tropical forests in the Americas are changing too slowly to track climate change 🌳🌴🌲 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

⭐️2025 Calow-Grace Review⭐️ Plant functional traits & the entangled phenotype - Sandra Diaz reviews concepts that have long been at the core of #ecology & #evolutionary #biology but are at risk of being increasingly ignored fesummaries.wordpress.com/2025/02/26/pla…

Targeted forestation initiatives have the potential to help mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon, particularly in tropical areas, so long as disturbances such as fires and albedo changes are minimized, a new study finds. scim.ag/4jmou2r

Cheng & al show in Communications Earth & Environment that naturally regenerated forests in China are storing more carbon than planted ones. By 2060, they’re expected to hold even more aboveground carbon doi.org/10.1038/s43247…

A Global Meta‐Analysis of Passive Experimental Warming Effects on Plant Traits and Community Properties 🔗 buff.ly/Xsgk5EI

In our new study in Nature Communications doi.org/10.1038/s41467… we present a detailed map suggesting that 43% of land could support trees, 39% shrubs and grasses, and 18% bare ground. managing fire frequency & wildlife herbivory can shift vegetation on at least 675M ha globally
