🌲A global analysis of 6,550 observations shows that mixed-species plantations increase soil carbon and water holding capacity by about 10.5%. The greatest gains occur in conifer broadleaf mixtures in warm, wet climates through better soil structure 👉️ buff.ly/U3sA2l4

As you roll into the weekend thinking about what to watch, we present our take on Project Hail Mary. "The film highlights the humour and tenacity of a scientist banging up against a problem, again and again, until they solve it." go.nature.com/3PeAkCf
go.nature.com
Project Hail Mary film builds dazzling new worlds — and grounds them in science
The space odyssey charms with its message of unity while referencing molecular biology, neutrino physics and more.

🌿 When trees die and rot, they release stored carbon. Australia’s rainforests now emit more CO2 than they absorb. A sign of rising heat & drought stress. Once sinks, now turning into sources. Similar patterns appear in parts of the Amazon 🌎 #Climate #Forests #TropicalRainforests #Australia #Amazon
