A committed climate change effect of forest mortality ? #forest #CO2 #ElNiño ForestPlots Forest plots measure wood growth minus mortality. As dead wood decays, atmospheric CO2 will increases during many years after mortality. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… by Hui Yang

Happy Niu Year! "Niu/ox" in Chinese means "great". I'd like to post my first tweet about my Nature communications paper that happened to be online today. Spring greening benefits and dominates summer/autumn growth through the biological carryover mechanism nature.com/articles/s4146…

An interdisciplinary review (incl. atmospheric, ecohydrologic and societal) on global dryland aridity changes at Nature Reviews Earth & Environment 🌈. We explained the co-occurence of dryland vegetation greening and rising atmospheric dryness (higher VPD). Check it out! nature.com/articles/s4301…

Thrilled to start my first day at Peking University! I'm looking for postdocs working on drought, ET partitioning, carbon cycle and other potential aspects of remote sensing applications. Interested? Please reach out to me and stay tuned.

Lots of good points, with a detailed response here science.org/doi/full/10.11…. Importantly from Sang et al:

🌎🌳Avoiding deforestation gives us extra #CarbonCredit! Our new paper in Nature Communications shows regional climate impacts of deforestation could amplify vegetation carbon losses in remaining forests, by 5.1% in the Amazon and 3.8% in the Congo. Paper: rdcu.be/cLaRR

🚨📢We're pleased to be launching a new series of articles—Climate Chronicles—that document the characteristics and changes of select climate variables and topics for each year📢🚨 Check out the Collection below to read up on what happened in 2023. nature.com/collections/gh…
