Well, this is exciting, a first ever foray into 🌳 stomata. First up, the "living fossil" Ginkgo biloba, and the tulip tree 🌷Magnolia soulangeana. Can't wait! @drhollycroft.bsky.social

1/4 Delighted to share our latest preprint "Future heatwave conditions inhibit CO2-induced stomatal closure in wheat". We found that high CO2, high VPD heatwave treatment prevents stomatal responses to light, super-elevated CO2 and nitrogen fertiliser application. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Some nicely curated data on how crop yields are impacted by climate change. Something very useful to have on hand in my field of research
My colleague Hannah Ritchie has published an excellent three-part series on the impact of climate change on agriculture.

In part 1 she shows that yields have increased dramatically in recent decades, but some crops would have improved more without climate change.

Crop yields have increased dramatically in recent decades, but crops like maize would have improved more without climate change
Climate change has slowed the productivity of key crops such as maize and soybeans, but might have had small positive impacts on wheat.

Our review of the direct response of stomata to temperature just came out in an issue (OK, it was 3 months ago but I just noticed).

We cover what (little) is known, & possible mechanisms and implications.

Several more papers in the works. Watch this space!

The poorly‐explored stomatal response to temperature at constant evaporative demand
The direct response of stomata to temperature (the response when evaporative demand is held constant by adjusting ambient humidity) is very poorly known. This review summarises the current state of k...
