Biased publishing from the tropics www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Det har kommit en del redan, bl a från B-G Jonsson.

Dåligt medium att förmedla mina tankar. Dessutom har jag väldigt ont om tid nu så här vid terminsstart.

Global covariation of forest age transitions with the net carbon balance - Nature Ecology & Evolution A global analysis reveals regional trends of net forest ageing but also that widespread stand-replacing disturbances, such as fire and harvest, are driving declining forest age in many areas, often ac...

Important study showing that the conversion of old-growth to young forest results in significant carbon losses www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Come work with us! 2-year postdoc position open at SLU Aqua, on the role of herring in coastal food webs of the Baltic Sea. Applications due August 25.

Field work on the islands close to Arjeplog, northern Sweden, can sometimes be quite magical 😍

Global evidence for a positive relationship between tree species richness and ecosystem photosynthesis - Nature Plants Forests with higher tree species richness show greater photosynthesis by capturing more sunlight, highlighting the essential role of biodiversity in enhancing carbon uptake and supporting the global c...

A very nice study, showing that forests with more tree species capture more sunlight and show higher levels of photosynthesis! And this pattern is global.

Finally, spring also in Umeå ☀️

Widespread slow growth of acquisitive tree species - Nature Under field conditions, acquisitive tree species generally grow slowly, whereas conservative species show generally higher realized growth, owing to their ability to tolerate unfavourable environmenta...

Very interesting study! Slow-growing trees are best for C storage www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Not quite.

Actually, not at all similar, as the new study follows how specific plots develop over time, not how the average plot develops (in terms of C storage).

Decadal decline in forest floor soil organic carbon after clear-cutting in Nordic and Canadian forests Nordic and Canadian forests store substantial amounts of carbon (C) and are largely managed in a silvicultural system with clear-cut harvest. Previous…

Very important study! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Some hiking with nice views after a day of discussing our Biodiversa project 👌 🇮🇹 #biodiversaplus #trento

Pilot run of micro-scale streams to investigate organic matter decomposition 🤓

Meeting is over. Now, time to see if the 🐟 bite 😀 #abisko #lapporten

Annoyingly diffucult to capture the moon and Mars (the little light down to the left) in the same picture… Clearly visible with the naked eye, though! 🤓

I am soon recruiting two PhDs and a postdoc, to work on carbon, methane, metabolism in arctic stream networks. Glad to chat potential opportunities during #AGU24 @agu.org ! There is also soon another postdoc position on oxygen responses to peatland restoration with @ryansponseller.bsky.social ⬇️

Unexpected sustained soil carbon flux in response to simultaneous warming and nitrogen enrichment compared with single factors alone - Nature Ecology & Evolution Long-term warming of soils causes carbon loss, whereas chronic nitrogen enrichment causes carbon gain. Here, in an experiment that combined both factors, soil respiration was significantly higher than...

Cool study with interesting results! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
