Back from a week of field work to kick off summer data collection. Lots of beauty, as always, but the delayed post-fire mortality mediated by bark beetles in the large ponderosa pines was disheartening.

Atmospheric CO2 has passed 430 parts per million.
The last time atmospheric CO2 was at 430 ppm was during the ancient Pliocene Era, three to five million years ago, and humans didn’t exist.
