Northern high latitudes could become a net carbon source below 2 °C global warming

Abstract. Under historical warming, terrestrial ecosystems within the northern high latitudes have been a net carbon sink, providing vital mitigation against anthropogenic emissions of CO2. However, t...

The @egubg.bsky.social Early Career Scientists team invited me to share my thoughts about #AcademicMentalHealth and what to do about the ongoing crisis. Some folks wonder: I am an Earth System scientist, why do I keep talking about mental health? @egu.eu m.youtube.com/watch?v=KYea...

Combining a global dataset of paired observations with outputs from four land surface models, the authors show that microbial growth rate is a more reliable and informative predictor of soil organic carbon than carbon use efficiency 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New Nature Ecology & Evolution paper out today @natecoevo.nature.com! We find that models deviate from observations in the weighting of important soil processes. This mismatch has important implications for developing soil carbon models and improving predictions of soil carbon fate in the future 🌍

Soil microbes grow, respire, die. Because their biomass eventually becomes necromass, and necromass can be stabilized in soil, growth rate emerges as a powerful predictor of soil carbon: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
