De oceanen wereldwijd bereikten afgelopen juli de hoogste temperatuur ooit gemeten deze maand. Het gemiddelde over de maand kwam uit op 20,96 graden Celsius. Het vorige record, van 20,89 graden Celsius, stamde uit 2023. @kamagurka.bsky.social maakte hier een dagelijkse tekening bij. buff.ly/sBOkLNA

Non-native and invasive tree species are abundant in neotropical secondary forest but decline over time

Nature Plants - Non-native and invasive trees establish early during the regeneration of secondary forests. However, their decline over time suggests that native forest recovery can limit their...

Extra CO2 stimulates #photosynthesis of trees and reduces water losses through transpiration. But does that stimulate growth of #tree stems? Our paper today in NatClimateChange led by Quan Zhang uses theory & data to show that strong growth stimulation is unlikely.🌎🌐🍁 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Increased efficiency of water use does not stimulate tree productivity - Nature Climate Change

The authors theoretically delineate the maximal increases in tree growth that can be expected from increases in plant intrinsic water-use efficiency, which increases with rising CO2. They highlight en...

A 30,019-hectare forest in Santa Cruz, Bolivia may soon be sold to agribusiness giant Bom Futuro, which plans to clear it, documents show. Conservationists warn the area is a key part of the Chiquitano dry forest, linking the Amazon, Gran Chaco & Cerrado.

The land deal threatening a vital piece of Bolivia’s Chiquitano dry forest

A large forest in eastern Bolivia is on the verge of being sold to an international agriculture company, raising concerns that it might be razed to make room for new cropland. The 30,019-hectare…

This what Israel has done to Gaza. Forbidden pics by a Washington Post photographer whose Jordanian air crew didn't pass on Israel's order to only photograph aid being dropped. City, suburbs, schools, people: bombed to rubble. People being starved in makeshift camps on road roundabouts. #Genocide

Aerial shot of Gaza City, burned and bombed into burned and shattered, unliveable wreckage as far as can be seen.Whole area that used to be houses, shops, public transport routes, made into rubble and blackened, unliveable ruins. Aerial shot shows vast area entirely obliterated as habitable, attacked again and again by Israeli forces. Several wrecked Gaza schools, shown from the air, pulverised by Israel's forces: windows all gaping, bombed out and covered in ash and dust. Some people are trying to live in makeshift camps amid the destruction, in former quadrangles and bomb sites. Aerial shots of neighbourhoods with destroyed apartment buildings, houses, offices and shops, all bombed by Israel's government. Starving people are trying to live in tents and makeshift cubbies on the former roundabouts on a main road.

How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions. doi.org/10.1126/scie... 🌍🍁🌐 (1/4)

Pantropical tree rings show small effects of drought on stem growth

Increasing drought pressure under anthropogenic climate change may jeopardize the potential of tropical forests to capture carbon in woody biomass and act as a long-term carbon dioxide sink. To evalua...
