Thank you so much!

Thank Xin! Hope that you are doing well 🤗

Thank Biomet Lab for being such a great inspirer for the paper!

Widespread underestimation of rain-induced soil carbon emissions from global drylands - Nature Geoscience Eddy-covariance observations suggest that rain pulses over global drylands drive substantial soil carbon emissions, which are underestimated in current measurement and modelling approaches.

Rain-induced carbon losses in drylands contribute largely to the interannual variability of the land carbon sink, but do current partitioning methods and models capture them? Check out our new paper led by @ngocnb.bsky.social & @trevorkeenan.bsky.social to learn more:

Check out our recent publication from Nature Geoscience and my first paper ever!

Our results represent the first global assessment of the impact and drivers of rain-induced carbon pulses since their first official documentation in the 1950s as the Birch effect.

🌲Out today in Science! We show that thermal acclimation of stem respiration could significantly reduce future forest carbon losses under climate change. 🔗research.reading.ac.uk/lemontree/thermal-acclim...
