It's no secret, but it's worth spreading the word: Oikos , a leading journal in general ecology with an 80-year legacy, is proudly society-owned by Nordic Society Oikos. Plus, we have no page charges and no page limits!

Global atmospheric methane uptake by upland tree woody surfaces

trees don't just absorb CO2 but also methane

methane is contributing an extra 26% of anthropogenic greenhouse warming

#New research out of NAU has found that microbes in tree bark suck greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. The discovery will help inform plans to combat climate change and cool the Earth: ow.ly/m71050SMvqK

Researchers from NAU in partnership with AZ Dept. Forestry and Fire Management are developing a system to monitor tree stress across Arizona. The Regents' Research Grant project has the potential to change how we manage our forests: ow.ly/ONhi50SQqPe

We’ve all seen how wind can change the shape of trees, but how does wind impact tropical forests? Our new paper answers that question using purpose-built sensors in Barro Colorado, Panama.

In case you missed it, would-be-king trump has taken the first baby steps (they’re always baby steps) to staying in power. “In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.” (DJT, July 27, 2024) nytimes.com/2025/03/30/us/…

Our new paper in New Phytologist is out today. We investigated the bias involved in woody stem CO2 efflux measurements in tropical forests - including diel and vertical variations, and used TLS to upscale vertical variations and estimate stem surface area nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

Hey FEMA - we wanted to use BRIC funds build an early warning wildfire system that would enable firefighters to stop catastrophic fires before they started. ROI would be more than 2500%. Please explain how that would be “wasteful” to Paradise, LA, etc. fema.gov/press-release/…
