🚨New in PNAS we show that mature oak trees under elevated carbon dioxide choreograph their investment into "do it yourself" and "outsourcing" to support nutrient acquisiton pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 1/6
Elevated CO2 alters relative belowground carbon investment for nutrient acquisition in a mature temperate forest | PNAS
Forests are potential carbon (C) sinks that partially offset anthropogenic carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions via enhanced C assimilation and productiv...

Really pleased to see "The agricultural plastic paradox: Feeding more, harming more?" led by Kai Wang at CAU published. We contextuliase negative tradeoffs of agricultural plastic use with the societial benefits delivered, showing the need for "zero-leakage" rather than "zero-use".
The agricultural plastic paradox: Feeding more, harming more?
Agricultural plastic film mulch (PFM) covers ca. 50 million hectares of the Earth’s surface and has revolutionized agriculture, particularly in arid a…
