The increase in tree size and quantity in the Amazon over the last three decades, a consistent trend revealed through key phytosociological metrics. It was highlighted a per-decade increase in one order of 3.3% within a richer atmosphere with carbon dioxide.
Increasing tree size across Amazonia
Nature Plants - A global research network monitoring the Amazon for 30 years reports in this study that tree size increased by 3% each decade.

About 45% of summer cropland and 32% of winter cropland around the world have warmed significantly in the last 50 years, according to a study. Climate change has lowered yields of wheat, maize, and barley by 10%, 4%, and 13%, respectively. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

By mapping the meanings of the words used to communicate emotions across more than one-third of the planet’s spoken languages, a study in Science found that there is significant variation in how emotions are expressed across cultures. #ScienceMagArchives scim.ag/41X6dDk
Emotion semantics show both cultural variation and universal structure
Analysis of the terms used for emotions across a sample of 2474 spoken languages reveals low similarity across cultures.

Early genome duplications in conifers and other seed plants
Polyploidy is a common mode of speciation and evolution in angiosperms (flowering plants). In contrast, there is little evidence to date that whole genome duplication (WGD) has played a significant role in the evolution of their putative extant sister lineage, the gymnosperms.

Human-induced climate change may have caused approximately 1.5 °C of warming by the end of 2023, compared to before the 1700s, according to a study in Nature Geoscience. 🧪
Estimated human-induced warming from a linear temperature and atmospheric CO2 relationship - Nature Geoscience
Humans have caused 1.49 °C of warming compared with a pre-1700 baseline, a global estimate based on the linear relationship between atmospheric CO2 and temperature.
