Scientists are expected to do peer reviewing but no one tells you HOW. After talking with several folks about this today at #AGU24 , it seems a good time to link to this presentation I made several years ago -- feel free to use/share! docs.google.com/presentation...

We published! I am very excited to share this story. Our study shows that Taxus mortality is not caused by competition. Many deaths began with mechanical damage from fallen trees more than a decade ago, starting a long decline that led to recent mortality.

Death and Taxus: the contribution of mechanical damage to the multiple factors associated with Taxus brevifolia mortality - Ecological Processes
Background Recent increases in tree mortality are often attributed to climate, but climate extremes may just be the last of many stressors that have unfolded over many years resulting in tree death. P...

Nuno, Martin, Jake, and Sujan from @bgc-jena.mpg.de were awarded the Thuringian Research Prize for their groundbreaking work on ““Global interactions of carbon and water cycles of ecosystems under climate change, using #ML and #AI to quantify fluxes, stocks, and turnover times.”
Still think this was one of the best power moves of all time

Bad news for large natural carbon sinks: "Our findings suggest the potential for a similar response to climate change by woody aboveground biomass in moist tropical forests globally, which could culminate in a long-term switch from carbon sinks to carbon sources."

Aboveground biomass in Australian tropical forests now a net carbon source - Nature
A transition from carbon sink to source for the aboveground woody biomass of moist tropical Australian forests has occurred, driven by increasingly extreme climate anomalies.

Incredible Arctic heat in October. Highest average temperature on record for land and seas north of 60ºN. In Canada, Yukon Territory and Nunavut second warmest, Northwest Territories third warmest. Alaska and Svalbard fourth warmest. Data courtesy ERA5. #akwx #Arctic #Canada #Climate
As part of the GCP-Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes-2, we recently published the Australasia's CH4 and N2O Budgets. The carbon budget was published in 2023, both papers, led by Yohanna Villalobos and a great team of collaborators.
