🌲A global analysis of 6,550 observations shows that mixed-species plantations increase soil carbon and water holding capacity by about 10.5%. The greatest gains occur in conifer broadleaf mixtures in warm, wet climates through better soil structure 👉️ buff.ly/U3sA2l4

As you roll into the weekend thinking about what to watch, we present our take on Project Hail Mary. "The film highlights the humour and tenacity of a scientist banging up against a problem, again and again, until they solve it." go.nature.com/3PeAkCf

Project Hail Mary film builds dazzling new worlds — and grounds them in science

The space odyssey charms with its message of unity while referencing molecular biology, neutrino physics and more.

🌿 When trees die and rot, they release stored carbon. Australia’s rainforests now emit more CO2 than they absorb. A sign of rising heat & drought stress. Once sinks, now turning into sources. Similar patterns appear in parts of the Amazon 🌎 #Climate #Forests #TropicalRainforests #Australia #Amazon

Australian Rainforests Become the First to Emit More Carbon Than They Absorb

A new analysis finds tropical forests in Australia are not taking in enough carbon dioxide to keep up with the emissions from their decaying trunks, holding possible implications for global ecosystems

Two years after a record-setting heatwave, scientists have confirmed that two iconic corals that have flourished across Florida’s 560-kilometre-long reef for more than 10,000 years are now ‘functionally extinct’ go.nature.com/4ozyesU

These iconic corals are nearly extinct due to heatwaves: can they be saved?

Florida’s primary reef-building corals have been declared ‘functionally extinct’ — prompting a shift in conservation strategies.
