An important paper - just out in @natureportfolio.nature.com documenting a decline in net C uptake by Australian rainforests. Eventually the same will occur in other rainforests - a reminder that we need to get to net zero ASAP. @biologyanu.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Aboveground biomass in Australian tropical forests now a net carbon source - Nature
A transition from carbon sink to source for the aboveground woody biomass of moist tropical Australian forests has occurred, driven by increasingly extreme climate anomalies.

Drought-induced peatland carbon loss exacerbated by elevated CO2 and warming
Extreme drought events are predicted to increase with climate change, yet their impacts on ecosystem carbon dynamics under warming and elevated carbon dioxide (eCO2) remain unclear. In a peatland expe...

Unexpected Large Photosynthetic Thermal Plasticity of Montane Andean Trees
Tropical forests play a significant role in global carbon sequestration. However, our understanding of how tropical tree species adjust to climate warming remains limited to studies on seedlings grow...

How do tropical rainforest trees respond to warming? 🌡️🌿We experimentally warmed canopy leaves by 4°C for 8 months and found significant declines in photosynthesis and stomatal conductance, with no shift in Topt. Read the new paper, led by Kristine Crous here: shorturl.at/AVTOk
Surrounded by lush vegetation in a tropical forest canopy, three take-away containers have been customised to warm leaves continuouslyA density plot shows the distribution of observed leaf temperatures for one example species - Myristica globosa. The graph shows that warmed leaves surpass their optimum temperature far more frequently than control leaves, and are close to their critical temperature threshold
