Very happy to share our latest discovery "Global atmospheric methane uptake by upland tree woody surfaces" from the pages of nature. To summarise, upland trees are better for climate than we thought and are a new sink term in the methane budget. rdcu.be/dOPaT

Go, Tyson Terry! Out now: Creative and well-executed study using gas pipelines to explore effects of physical disturbance on dryland productivity across precip gradient. Fun always with Scott Ferrenberg Steven Lee Sasha Reed Osvaldo Sala et al science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Come work with our fantastic group UMich Ecology and Evolutionary Biology & UM Biological Station on soils & plants (with a focus on roots). We are hiring a lab tech. See the advertisement to apply: careers.umich.edu/job_detail/252…

OUT NOW🤩: A new paper by @Cpoeplau and colleagues showing that observed maximum values of stabilised #carbon in mineral soils are strongly constrained by available C input. How can we define an ecosystem capacity for C stabilisation? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gc…

Please RT! We are looking for a postdoc to study seasonal wetland C dynamics. The position is part of a new NSF-NERC project in Brazilian Cerrado. For more see: serc.si.edu/get-involved/j…. Applications due 30 August.

New publication from Dave Emde | @emde.science 🟦☁️, Florian Schneider, @Cpoeplau, and colleagues on the legacy of land-use change on soil organic carbon: Even long-standing agricultural sites likely have ongoing SOC change as a result of historical LUC. doi.org/10.1111/gcb.17…

Pleased/somewhat humbled to be part of this #FATESmodel paper from the exceptional Yanyan Cheng, on the calibration of coexistence in demographic ecosystem models. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Neat new work out of James Cook Uni that my group (Woodwell Climate Research Center) contributed to. Take away: traditional aboriginal fire regimes stored more soil carbon in Australian savannas suggesting that restoring more frequent fire return intervals would sequester CO2. publish.csiro.au/WF/WF24006

New paper in Nature Communications - Drivers and Impacts of the Record-Breaking 2023 Wildfire Season in Canada. The 2023 wildfire season in Canada was unprecedented in its scale and intensity. rdcu.be/dRs0B

Fire suppression in the N. Great Plains has driven woody plant expansion, altering ecosystem structure via ⬆️aboveground C & N storage. Our findings show that the extent of C & N loss after fire returns depends on the functional traits of the trees 🔥 🌲 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
