What can we learn by studying past climates and ecosystems? By Colin Prentice
Anthropogenic climate change brings many challenges for society, and for science. But without knowledge of past climate changes and their impacts, we are flying blind. Climate changes, with diverse causes,…Read More >
The Land Carbon Sink: Why Plant Nutrient Strategies Hold the Key
A new study published in Nature Climate Change—Plant nutrient acquisition under elevated CO₂ and implications for the land carbon sink—offers fresh insight into a long-standing climate science puzzle: how nutrient…Read More >
Leaf Nitrogen Declines: What European Forests Reveal About CO₂ Acclimation and Ecosystem Resilience
One of the biological signals emerging from our changing climate is a decline in leaf nitrogen concentrations (LNC) across ecosystems worldwide. For years, this trend has raised concern: Are forests…Read More >
