🌿 When trees die and rot, they release stored carbon. Australia’s rainforests now emit more CO2 than they absorb. A sign of rising heat & drought stress. Once sinks, now turning into sources. Similar patterns appear in parts of the Amazon 🌎

Australian Rainforests Become the First to Emit More Carbon Than They Absorb
A new analysis finds tropical forests in Australia are not taking in enough carbon dioxide to keep up with the emissions from their decaying trunks, holding possible implications for global ecosystems

Two years after a record-setting heatwave, scientists have confirmed that two iconic corals that have flourished across Florida’s 560-kilometre-long reef for more than 10,000 years are now ‘functionally extinct’

These iconic corals are nearly extinct due to heatwaves: can they be saved?
Florida’s primary reef-building corals have been declared ‘functionally extinct’ — prompting a shift in conservation strategies.

Fellow Floridians - join your local UFF chapter (like @uffuf.bsky.social ).

If you don’t have a local union (and you should check) then join the @aaup.org’s at-large chapter and help them fight for the future of higher education.

A meta-analysis found that high-density managed honeybee populations can:

👉disrupt local biodiversity🌏
👉reduce pollinator richness🧪
👉alter plant-pollinator relationships🐝
...all with minimal benefits to crop yields!

A new study, based on an analysis of thousands of publications and their authors and editors, shows paper mills are just part of a complex, interconnected system that includes publishers, journals, and brokers. scim.ag/3H9kwwQ
Scientific fraud has become an ‘industry,’ alarming analysis finds
