Excited to share our new paper on leaf scorching. 🔥Early leaf browning during heat and drought is often interpreted as premature leaf senescence - but it may reflect rapid heat damage. Separating these processes is essential. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @wslresearch.bsky.social

1/1 The GCP-Global Carbon Budget 2025 has just been published in its final form. It is the same data we released at the last COP in Nov 2025, but given the many improvements this budget introduced compared to previous editions, it underwent a longer and more detailed peer review process.

Stem girdling does not allow mimicking changes in Norway spruce tree physiology during Eurasian spruce bark beetle infestation - Journal of Forestry Research
Bark beetle infestations can cause rapid mortality in Norway spruce, yet the sequence of physiological changes leading to death is not fully understood. The aim of this research was to disentangle the...

Alpine areas are heating up faster than the rest of the planet: all the cities that staged the #WinterGames since 1950 have heated up in the years since by an average of 2.7C, according to scientists. That’s well above 1.4C, the warming average for the entire planet www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
