Forest management is depleting #carbon storage. Old-growth forests in Sweden store ~72% more carbon than the industrial tree plantations that are replacing them, with soil accounting for most of the difference. Didac Pascual, @katerinageorgiou.bsky.social et al. (2026). doi.org/10.1126/scie...

INVITED REVIEW Soil Carbon Saturation: What Do We Really Know? 🔗 buff.ly/OSmJhDO @katerinageorgiou.bsky.social

We used a synchrotron to show how tropical forest bacterial ecophysiology differs from their semi-arid counterparts under drought! I really enjoyed working on this with @als.lbl.gov‬, @daniela-cusack.bsky.social‬, and others not on the socials! academic.oup.com/ismej/articl...
