🌿 Climate change extends Europe’s growing season, but it won’t offset rising summer #drought. #Tree-ring data from 2,000+ sites show growth may benefit until 2050, then drought stress dominates. Study led by Jan Tumajer, published in Nature Communications. 🌱📉

Although heavily Anglo-American in focus, there is a lot I can relate to concerning #envhist in this roundtable paper, especially the bits about interdisciplinary cooperation.
I'm delighted that @royalhistsoc.org has published our roundtable article on 'The Future of (Environmental) History'.
This came out of a workshop in April 2023 with @northernenvhistory.bsky.social
I've summarised our paper (link to OA article) in a blog 👇

that many (though by far not all) kilometres of the boundary between 🇵🇱 and 🇨🇿 are marked by a drystone wall. Will check the literature to find out more!
