Hello everyone. Today in “One day, one paper”, urban vegetation can cool or warm depending on aridity: in dry cities, low albedo and limited evapotranspiration drive net heating. Trees sustain cooling under extreme heat, while grasslands and croplands often amplify temperature increases 🌎
Global urban vegetation exhibits divergent thermal effects: From cooling to warming as aridity increases
City plants cool, yet with increasing aridity, they can heat urban areas.

Hi. In “one day one paper”,direct climate effects accelerate litter decomposition, yet shifts in plant litter quality along aridity–humidity gradients can reverse expected patterns.Disentangling these opposing forces reveals that space cannot reliably substitute for time in carbon‑cycle predictions🌎
Inverse effects of soil moisture and litter quality on litter decomposition along a gradient from hyper‐arid to temperate climate
We hypothesized that litter decomposition (H1) and litter quality (H2) increase with increasing soil humidity, therefore litter from the wetter sites to have the highest litter quality and decompose ...
