Garrett Knowlton @knowlton.bsky.social · 28/10/2025New paper out now in Ecosphere (esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...)! Forest landscape simulations in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem suggest that changes in postfire structure and composition, and not a conversion to non-forest, are the dominant response to future climate.esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com 180

Reposted by Garrett KnowltonKatharine Hayhoe @katharinehayhoe.com · 14/08/2024We’ve suspected for a long time that rainfall variability increases with warming. Now, observations are long enough and of sufficient quality to prove it. Not enough rain, and then too much, exacerbates climate impacts and makes adaptation more difficult. via @retoknutti.bsky.socialscience.orgAnthropogenic amplification of precipitation variability over the past centuryAs the climate warms, the consequent moistening of the atmosphere increases extreme precipitation. Precipitation variability should also increase, producing larger wet-dry swings, but that is yet to b... 8530260
