🚨New publication on carbon stocks in reed beds! M Williamson et al. quantified C storage in reed stems, roots and sediment. 🌍 Most C was stored in the sediments and roots, and the highest total C storage was observed in the intermittent zone of the reed beds. 👉 Read more: doi.org/10.5194/bg-2...

Journal editors struggling to find reviewers — there are some bloody good reasons why
I used to think it was merely a post-COVID19 hiccough, but the extensive delays in receiving reviews for submitted manuscripts that I am seeing near constantly now are the symptoms of a much larger problem. That problem is, in a nutshell, how awfully journals are treating both authors and reviewers these days. I regularly hear stories from editors handling my papers, as well as accounts from colleagues, about the ridiculous number of review requests they send with no response.

Vuosi 2024 oli mittaushistorian lämpimin. Ensimmäistä kertaa lämpeneminen ylitti 1,5 astetta. Vuoteen mahtui mm. historian kuumin, yksittäinen päivä. Hiilidioksidia ja metaania oli ilmakehässä enemmän kuin koskaan mittaushistoriassa. yle.fi/a/74-20135259

Maailman keski­lämpötilan nousu ylitti 1,5 astetta ensi kertaa mittaus­historiassa, ja se näkyi tulvina ja hirmu­myrskyinä
Vuoden 2024 lämpöennätystä selittää osaltaan luonnollinen sääilmiö El Niño. Ihmisen toiminta eli ilmastopäästöt olivat silti suurin syy lämpenemiseen.
