Can rainforests buffer rising CO₂ levels? 🌳🌍A new study by an international team, co-lead by Lucia Fuchslueger (@loutsi.bsky.social TER | CeMESS), reveals that the tradeoff comes at a cost. Learn more 🔗 cemess.univie.ac.at/news-detail/... @natcomms.nature.com #AmazonRainforest

Amazon understory forests show short-term boost in CO₂ uptake – but this comes at a cost
Experimental increases in CO2 stimulated plant growth are facilitated by re-distributed root systems to extract nutrient resources more efficiently

FACE-ing the Amazon's Future
The burning of fossil fuels, megafires and land-use changes drive CO2 levels up. How will that affect the Amazon? Will the elevated carbon fertilise the forest, boosting leaves and roots so that they will store more CO2? Or will the nutrient-deficient soils nullify the fertilisation effect that works so well in glasshouses? A spectacular international project is about to find out - and ECH is on board.

On #InternationalDayofWomenandGirlsinScience let me remind you that we are NOWHERE NEAR parity. A few examples. 1. Women are credited less in science than men. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
nature.com
Women are credited less in science than men - Nature
The difference between the number of men and women listed as authors on scientific papers and inventors on patents is at least partly attributable to unacknowledged contributions by women scientists.

Although NOAA's page on atmospheric CO2 levels has vanished, you can still get this vital information from Ralph Keeling's team at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego keelingcurve.ucsd.edu Please follow bsky.app/profile/keel... for updates and share Don't let science be hidden
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.

Have you wondered why fungi could have more resilience during environmental conditions? They can produce storage compounds which may help them to remain active! Thanks to all the team, esp. Alberto Canarini and Jörg Schnecker for conducting this experiment during challenging lockdowns!
