🌏🌲Do trees produce more #wood as a result of #globalwarming? Not necessarily, according to a new study led by the WSL and published in @science.org. Annual wood production depends more on growth rate than on duration of growth – with implications for carbon storage. www.wsl.ch/en/news/more...
wsl.ch
More time for trees to grow doesn’t always mean more wood
Although climate warming extends growing season for trees, the rate of growth is the main driving factor when it comes to wood formation.

🌲Con il #riscaldamentoglobale gli alberi producono più #legno? Non necessariamente, come dimostra un nuovo studio. La produzione annuale di legno dipende più dalla velocità di crescita che dalla durata della stessa, con conseguenze per lo stoccaggio del carbonio. www.wsl.ch/it/news/una-...
wsl.ch
Una crescita degli alberi più lunga non significa necessariamente più legno
Il riscaldamento globale prolunga la stagione di crescita degli alberi, ma per la formazione del legno conta di più il ritmo della crescita.

🌲 Plus de temps pour pousser signifie-t-il plus de #bois ? Pas nécessairement. Une étude du WSL montre que la production annuelle de bois dépend davantage de la vitesse de croissance que de sa durée, ce qui a des implications pour le stockage du carbone. www.wsl.ch/fr/news/une-...
wsl.ch
Une croissance plus longue des arbres ne signifie pas toujours plus de bois
Le réchauffement climatique prolonge la période de croissance des arbres, mais la formation du bois dépend surtout de sa vitesse.

This is why cities need trees. Hard surfaces and parked cars can reach extreme temperatures, while shaded grass and tree-covered areas stay dramatically cooler. This is the urban heat island effect in one image: hard surfaces absorb and radiate heat, while vegetation and shade reduce it.

Don’t forget what REALLY “drives” a lot of regional growth and infrastructure politics. It’s pretty much this. Great drawing via Ian Lockwood.
Cartoon by Ian Lockwood. A man in a vehicle with the words “regional travel demand” on it is talking to a man and his daughter on the sidewalk named “City.” He says “Hey City! I choose to exercise my freedom and reside out in the suburbs. Now, I want to drive fast through here without delay. So, I demand that public taxes be spent to widen your roads and lower your safety, health and quality of life. Fair deal? Want to shake on it, pal?“

Maybe the land carbon sink is weaker than we thought.

This is a cartogram map of the United States depicting land use by different categories. The map distorts state shapes to represent proportional land usage. Key land use types include cow pasture/range (covering much of the central U.S.), private and federal timberland in the Pacific Northwest, corporate timberland in the Southeast, and urban housing/commercial areas in the Northeast. Other categories include agriculture (livestock feed, wheat exports, ethanol/biodiesel, cotton), protected lands (national parks, federal wilderness, state parks), and infrastructure (railroads, airports, highways). Additional specialized land uses include wildfires, golf courses, Christmas tree farms, and maple syrup production.

A graph of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at the Mauna Loa observatory, Hawaii, from 1958 to 4th February 2025. It shows carbon dioxide levels rising at an accelerating rate over the decades. This is known to be due to emissions of carbon dioxide from human activity, mainly fossil fuel burning but also deforestation. The first CO2 concentration value in March 1958 was 315 parts per million (ppm). The latest daily value is 426 ppm. The graph also shows a seasonal cycle of a few ppm within each year, which is known to be linked to the growing season in the northern hemisphere causing a temporary uptake of carbon in spring and summer and release in autumn. The graph is produced routinely by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.
