Global eddy covariance towers cluster on more fertile soils
Global eddy covariance tower network analysis reveals spatial clustering and systematic bias toward fertile soils, potentially limiting representativeness of ecosystem-atmosphere interaction studies.
Fire weather emergence is already detectable in many burnable areas
—
in ClimatologyClimate models show fire weather conditions driven by human warming already detectable in 39% of burnable areas, with dangerous extremes emerging at 2–3°C warming in multiple regions.
Long-nosed potoroo faces different conservation statuses across landscapes
—
in EcologyLong-nosed potoroo conservation varies by landscape in Victoria, facing threats from invasive predators, fire, and climate change. Strategic management combining habitat protection and predator.
Coastal food web changed over 125 years but kept stable trophic structure
—
in EcologyHistorical species composition data reveal how a coastal food web changed structurally over 125 years while maintaining stable trophic organization and energy transfer efficiency.
Soil moisture drove vegetation change on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau
Soil moisture constraints override atmospheric aridity in governing vegetation dynamics across the warming Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, with regional variation depending on basin hydrogeography.
Extreme 2023 drought made the Amazon a weak carbon source
2023 Amazon drought reduced vegetation carbon uptake, turning the region into a weak carbon source independent of fire emissions, revealing climate vulnerability.
Pantropical forest leaf longevity is converging toward a middle range
Pantropical moist forests show converging leaf longevity under climate change, with long-longevity regions declining and short-longevity regions increasing.
Global grassland productivity dataset spans 1958–2100
Gridded aboveground net primary productivity dataset for global grasslands from 1958-2100, combining historical observations with future climate projections for carbon and land management research.
Global bee species richness estimated at 24,705-26,164
Study reveals global bee species richness estimates of 24,705-26,164 species, with 18-25% undescribed diversity concentrated in Asia, Africa, and the Americas, highlighting geographic taxonomic gaps.
