New paper alert: ‘eddy covariance measurements in an agave plantation’ - key findings: (1) Plant productivity was due to day- and nighttime CO2 uptake, (2) soil dryness causes switch to CAM pathway, (3) photosynthetic plasticity controls ecosystem CO2 exchange. doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...

Remote Sensing is amongst the most powerful tools to observe our planet and it’s natural resources and consequently to evaluate the effectiveness of implemented policies. Thanks to Axel Don for highlighting this at the EJP Soil Science-Policy Event in Brussels.

Carbon dioxide removal is not a current climate solution — we need to change the narrative
Drastically reduce emissions first, or carbon dioxide removal will be next to useless.
www.nature.com
In recognition of us doing fuck all to reduce emissions, let me remind y'all that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is useless unless we decarbonize drastically.

A big challenge in identifying climate smart agricultural systems in Africa is the missing chunk of data on #GHG emissions. Often categories at international level are lacking. Read more in our paper on emissions from traditional #livestock bomas in #Kenia. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
