The #pre-print for the Australian #fieldwork we did last February is now out! We show snow gum #dieback alters #volatile emissions, especially increasing #monoterpene #emissions from damaged trunks. You can read more here: doi.org/10.22541/ess...
The fieldwork sure was one to remember! 🌿🪲☁️🦘

Atmospheric CO₂ concentrations are surging, even as emissions level out. Natural carbon sinks are showing signs of faltering as we continue to emit CO₂.
