Geography and availability of natural habitat determine whether cropland intensification or expansion is more detrimental to biodiversity
Nature Ecology & Evolution - Both agricultural expansion and intensification drive biodiversity losses. Here the authors quantify and compare globally the biodiversity impact of land conversion...

A really nice assessment of the impact of selective logging and conversion to oil-palm plantations on forest structure, tree composition, biodiversity and ecosystem functions in the tropical forests of Borneo. @owentlewis.bsky.social and many other authors. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Tropical forest clearance impacts biodiversity and function, whereas logging changes structure
The impacts of degradation and deforestation on tropical forests are poorly understood, particularly at landscape scales. We present an extensive ecosystem analysis of the impacts of logging and conve...

Important new study shows that current climate models underestimate the human-caused slowing of the #AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation), because they neglect freshwater influx from Greenland melt and other sources. /1 🌊 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Fresh meltwater entering the Labrador and Irminger seas has resulted in a slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation since the 1950s, according to a combination of modelling approaches...
